Thanks mclem! Was thinking of playing a heavy exacta in the race as well, but didn't want to play it blindly. I will shoot for a pricey horse one of these days, I just feel like a chalk eating weasel when I go with the faves.

Hey we all eat chalk from time to time, it's part of the game right?
2nd for my selection, 2 races, 2 2nd's, but alive!

Put me in the chalk eater catergory too. I took Squeeze Me Tight too, but it didn't seem like an easy choice. The top 3 seemed inseparable and that's the way they came in. Next race should be a little harder with a bigger field. That is, if you play the 5th.

Well, what with 3 different flights, changing 6 times zones, and the adventure of finding a hotel on the far side of the island after dark, I didn't get my pick in the first day. But amazingly enough, I am still alive at Meadowlands (no racing on Sunday so I could get somewhat adjusted in time to figure out when I needed to get my picks in).
