Why would anyone want a firster against a horse that already ran a winning race? Did you watch it? He missed the break and lost 2 lengths and stayed on nicely against a tough field. Four have come back and three ran well, the other was the 6th place horse beaten 40 lengths. Velazquez jumps on when he had two other great options (3,10). Lochte looks like a horse to me that takes a bunch of money and finishes an indifferent 5th. Obviously I'm not betting against Pletcher in his playground hard with the 3 though.

He may not be, but I generally don't let riders influence my decisions- but I'll definitely look at if he has options.

Purses are mostly better at GP than KEE, for what it's worth.

I hear ya. I don't think he is going to give up the mount on Jack Milton. I could be wrong.
As for this pick 6 and pick 6's in general I'm not really equipped to discuss them. I don't play them. I was interested in talking the races.
