The All Grade 1's Pick 4 is looking better and better. Shoot, pass on a couple races 2morrow and use that money to put together a nice Pick 4 at Belmont. Here's hoping that we can get a nice string of 4 races that pays a couple thousand at the end.

Lets look at the Pick 4,
Race 7 5 horses entered, 4 of which are very legit winners
Race 8 7 entries
Race 9 8 entries
Race 10 7 entries

Just my humble opinion but that is a nice sequence for a Pick 4 and I look forward to watching and betting! Lets look for the positives!

You know, I tend to look for quality, not quanity. I'll take a 5 horse field if it has 5 legit entries anyday versus a 10 horse field full of entries who show beyers of -0. Ah yes, Beulah will be open in no time

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but the way this meet has been going, I wouldn't count on any Pick 4's paying a couple thousand ever. The sequence looks incredibly chalky to me. I tried, but I just don't see the cute horses that'll trip this thing for four figures. Still should be a great day of racing, but if you're looking to get rich, I don't think this is the day.

No buzzkill at all, reality. I am gonna try and get this thing down with possibly 2 singles, and play it for like $5 bucks or more. Take a stand and chance and see how it shakes down. You are probably right, chalky.

Yo, talkin different lingo, I am not playing a Pick 4 ticket for a dollar, not with this sequence. Talkin at least a $5 Pick 4.

I may try and beat the favorites in the JCGC and use Asiatic Boy and Dry Martini, leaning towards Asiatic Boy. Wow, QR and Bird should be heavy favorites, but............................................... ...............................

Gotcha.... I like your thinking with Dry Martini as nice value that is where I am heading. I think SUmmer Bird will be overbet and as a 3 year old I am not sold against these.

I dont think Fabulous Strike has to win tomorrow. I have a strong feeling they are going to go really nuts up front and Kodiak Kowboy is going to steal the show. Never been a huge fan of his but I think tomorrow is the time to bet him. People will be disuaded by his reputation for "not liking 6F" which is completely untrue and you may see the best price on him in a long time. Thinking the betting centers strongly around Fabulous Strike and Munnings, and maybe the Kowboy is let go at 4/1. You guys notice Asmussen has him back in his barn?

Certainly Hold Me Back didn't give the sophomore class a boost with his uninspiring race in the Kentucky Cup Classic.

Not really. They sucked before they ran against her, they'll continue to suck afterwards.

Macho ran his race in the Woodward he isnt putting two big efforts like that together. Asiatic Boy is still in detox from leaving de Kock, Dry Martini is a grade 3 horse. Sette Mezzo would have won the Hirsch

It's not the same race less than 12f. It's like a one turn mile for the younger horses after they wake up after the 1/4.

I was alive on a 7 dollar ticket singled to Asiatic Boy for 21k. Kodiak, Clan, all, AB.....Needless to say what could've been. At least I didn't have to worry about a stretch drive.

Interpatation had only been defeated in 17 races in a row .. and was just 1 for his last 28 ... with that lone win over that span coming at Philly Park.

The only possible thing to not dislike about him would have been the fact that he was a huge price in a race where the weather was chaotic and the ground was extremely soft.

When Interpatation changed back to lefty lead, around midstretch, his action was so bad that it appeared he was about to fall on his face. Then, we saw just about the UGLIEST lefty lead, the rest of the stretch, that I've seen in over 30 years of watching races. YET, he was able to, basically, BLOW BY Gio Ponti late. What a ****in' joke of a race. I lost all respect for GP after this one. Good horses just aren't supposed to lose that way. This was just UGLY.

I too thought Interpretation was about to fall down when he switched leads.
