Goldikova: Lost a step or as good as ever?

[pmayjr]

all I'm getting at, is I don't wanna get beat by her. I don't wanna be wrong in that race by leaving her out. Even if she's over-bet. Will I single her? Hell no. But you gotta have her on your tickets I think, because you'll feel dumb about it after if you don't.

Sucks too, because as fun as she is to watch, the Mile you could argue was always crazy for long-shots and unpredictability. I'm still scratching my head on how the Rock lost that race years ago. But on the flip side, I had Singletary.

I'll single her in the multi race bets and go deeper elsewhere. I also come up with some strategy to key her UNDER on the verticals. You don't have to spend a whole lot to accomplish a decent hedge with dime supers and $.50 trifecta wagering- unless you think she's off the board. Last year, with the popular Gio Ponti 2nd, you had a $589 ($1) super and $250 tri ($2). But two years ago you had a $705 tri and a $6,628 ($1) super - dont forget Courageous Cat.

I think spreading out the pick 4 in the mile is a waste. Even if she loses, I don't know who is going to do it and it would cost me a fortune to get as deep as I would want to be with her out.
