Digger's Show Bets

[JolyB]

Digger, I hope that you don't mind my trespassing on your show parlay thread. I had very much wanted to play a Derby City Pick 6 for my ROI today - after all it is closing day at Churchill Downs and therefore a mandatory payout of the carryover. Unfortunately, I just couldn't come up with a pick 6 array that I was happy with and still fit within the $100 ROI limit, even with a bold single of Maxfield in the Stephen Foster.

So, just for fun I want to post my best shot at a sort of bare bones pick 6 here and follow it as the races unfold.

Race 7:
$0.20 pick 6: 5,7,8 / 1,3,7,8 / 2,4,8,9 / 1,3,8 / 8 / 1,4,7,8 [$115.20]

p.s. - Digger, I noticed that 5 of your 6 show parlay picks for races 7-12 are on my ticket too. I also liked #7 Ride A Comet in the Wise Dan but had to draw the line somewhere. That's the most difficult part of a pick 4 or 5 or 6. You just can't include all of the horses you like and stay within a reasonable budget.
