Default XY Jet

Is he a cinch tomorrow? I like the later races and am leaning towards tossing him. He is 7 now and got cooked last time. A few fresh horses who clearly aren't as fast early might be close enough tomorrow. Thoughts?

Looked at this trying to beat him as he will be 1-5 at best and just can’t see it unless he’s really done. He is way faster then these and may get an easy 22 first quarter which will be lights out. I’m going to watch the show polls and maybe sneak one in there hoping he’s done.

I think any of the 4,5,6 can jump up. The race before feels chalky unless you like the 2, who I think has a shot. Im looking at maybe a pick 4 the 1st and last legs im still working on. 1,2 the race before XY and and 4,5,6 in the XY race

4, 5, 6 is probably the way to go to try to beat him. Not sure it’ll happen but I’m at least intrigued by Noble Indy.

I’m looking at the same sequence. Right now I’ve got:

2,3,4,7,8,9
1,3,6,7
9
1,4,5

But I’m not sure. I may revisit it tomorrow, check the weather, see the scratches, and switch it around and toss XY Jet. I kinda like the 2 Camp Creek in leg 1 and the 7 Jais’s Solitude in leg 2. Also intrigued by the 3 Art G is Back in leg 2.

I'm leaning on Cove Blue...Romans looks like he's got this one sharp and I'll be damn if I'm gonna let Robby beat me on dirt. Noble Indy is interesting but I think he may be prepping for something coming up, nevertheless, he could be hitting his stride in the stretch to get up at the wire. If the Jet tries another 21 and change opening quarter, he will be toast at the top of the stretch.

Going to be a hell of a headwind going down backstretch..Never really took the wind into account much, but would that favor closers?

I played $72 race 7 pick 3.
$3 pick 3

Hoping beating XY pays. Didnt like the 10th turf or dirt so went pick 3.

Good luck. Agreed on the 10th race. Very much like the 11 in race 7.

I decided to go with a Pick 5 and will probably regret it.

1 / 5,9,10,11 / 1,3,5 / 4,5,8 / 1,6,8

$54.00. Hopefully I don’t flunk out in the 1st leg.
