Can play it even cheaper if you willing to stand against Ritchey's firster in the opening leg.

From a breeding standpoint, the 5 - Bally Buff, does not look like a monster first out. Forbidden Apple is below average with firsters and the fact that he can still command a $5k fee is beyond me. Bally Buff's half brother by Hennessy is still a maiden after 13 tries.

That said, Ritchey's 21% with firsters and the gelding has been working well. Tough call, but if the 1A improves off his last, I don't think this one can run with him.

Look for the 2 - Coastal Art to be picking off horses late. His two works at Classic Mile are not bad for that deep strip. He'll be legged up after those works. Not a threat to win, but a big threat to hit the board at a big price.

My P4:

7 - 1A
8 - 1,2,7
9 - 1,4,5,6,9
10 - 5,6,8,11

>One would think you just gotta take on Salute the Count here.

He won, barely...at 8-5 not worth the sweat job...

Repenter looked like a sissy.

That horse cost me the pick 4. It sucks when you single a 10-1ML horse in the last leg and he wins.
