![]() Keeneland action continues to be very entertaining with excellent wagering opportunities and Friday was more of the same. As suggested when putting out multi grids, ticket-building was a maddening exercise and I failed to reach the juicy $1,190 P4 (.50) despite it being well within reach. Mistake was going 4x2 in the front half when I really liked Goats Town in the 7th and 2x4 was the right approach. Saturday offers another round, while Belmont's late P4 is anchored by a terrific Pebbles.
I'm at Far Hills today for the biggest event of the steeplechase season and may not be able to do post-SCR changes.. Hope everyone enjoys what should be a fabulous fall afternoon!

![]() Good stuff here Steve. Keeneland looks fun again plus adding another juicy late pick 4 at Santa Anita today should make the day fun.

![]() Was not NSA's call, believe me. Was insisted upon by NY Vet/Racing staff to try and mitigate falls in front of the grandstand. Though Bob Le Beau went wrong in the Turf Writers, there was not a single faller the whole season.

![]() Somehow chasing even 5x that amount in a pick six even at .20 doesn't seem like a good use of funds.

If not, Why is it a chase ? 6 winners in a row is popcorn for a capper like you or Joe Rockhead, so it must be possible for others too |

![]() Larry.. Thanks. Multis challenging, but there's been some nice in-race scores if you can get to them. Glad you did well with Yockey's Warrior. That was a crazy price. And Crewman put a charge in.
