How does one approach this?

These are impossible questions for anybody but you to answer.
Are YOU better on turf or synthetics? Are there horses YOU really like in specific races? This is the only way to answer these questions. If you are planning on wagering on Friday and Saturday, you should probably look at all the races, and identify a couple of really good plays. You should put the most amount of money on those races. Playing every race is fine, but if you do so it is probably best to go with really small wagers on the races you are less confident in, and devote the majority of your bankroll to your top selections.

Yup, devoting a set amount to each race is a recipe for disaster.

Not so sure. I hate this BC from a fan perspective but from a wagering perspective I think there is a lot of opportunity. The dirt horses will all be overbet. A horse like Ventura will beat Indian Blessing at 2-4 times the odds. Carriage Trail will beat Ginger Punch, Music Note, and Cocoa Beach at longer odds. Lot of money to be won betting against the dirt horses that show no reason to like synthetics.

I think Cocoa Beach is showing that she likes the Pro RIde

She supposedly had a nice work and is a factor underneath but we already know that both Carriage Trail and Zenyatta are much better on synthetics than she was on dirt so tough to see her moving up to do better than third.

Zaftig is running in the F&M Sprint? If so, that's a ballsy spot off the injuries.

Carriage Trail likes keenland, that does not mean she will like Pro Ride. Correct ?
