Are you betting any of these to win? Would you play a pik 6 and be OK having 5 right going into the last and tossing Nine loves? What would you do going into the last with 5 right and not have the 1st or 2nd betting choice, bet a few thousand to win on the fav to hedge?

There's no horse screaming at me as a win bet in the sequence. Will be interested to see the board in the 7th. To me, Nine Loves is a 'B' or 'C' horse as you can't let her prevent you from hitting the P6. I'm pretty ambivalent on last leg hedging. Depends on the will pays, coverage and field size. I've tried it a variety of ways and have no set opinion, making judgement at the time.

Islarama a SCR, so Nine Loves moves up by default..

For what it's worth, Bourbon Courage's win yesterday was not Kellyn Gorder's first graded stake. He trained Grammarian when he won the 2002 Sunset Handicap at Hollywood.

Wow... Grammarian. That's amazing. He had just a handful of starters in his first incantation as a trainer before the WinStar gig.

I asked him immediately after the race and he reminded me of Grammarian. I would have never guessed it and assumed that Bourbon Courage and Travel Advisory were his best horses.
