Yes Cal, I had circled races 5 and 11 to make my typical exacta wager. I picked 5 and not 11 unfortunately, since race 11 paid $30 and change for a $1 exacta.

I only looked at 9,10,11 and 12 and my initial impression was to play Race 11 too. I think that was the race that Cairo Consort looked like the likely winner, but so did the fave in Race 12 so went with that one. Problem is that the runners in the preps just don't have much experience and can improve immensely with time and sometimes with a better trip so probably better to stay away from those races until they become maybe slightly more predictable, if that is even possible. If predictability made it any easier though, you would have thought it more than likely that someone would have easily predicted the outcome of the Pegasus which had a field of seasoned runners, but the $4000+ Superfecta for a single dime, probably puts that notion to rest.
