That is true. I am glad we got through the 6th, Cappy, I really wanted to get Jello Shot through there. There was certainly some cause for pause with Andy going to Monte Carlo (I can't imagine how much he just crushed that exacta), but I really thought Jello Shot could beat these and at 12-1 he was worth using. The McLaughlin is the one who proved he didn't belong on the ticket and I am always dubious with horses with that kind of improvement from 1st to 2nd start, but he is so tough second and third start out.

This leg worries me, but I think Yario is an underlay and I don't like here. I am praying to get through, but even the 8th worries me a bit today as I think even the 5 and 6 have a shot to win there. The 5 in particular if he can find some of that back form and he certainly likes the track, will be an overlay, but it is still a tough race.

Herk is the smart one here who singled Monte Carlo and spread more in the last 3.

Fans still love Maylan's pictures I guess.

I actually used that 5 in my pick 6.

Too bad I didn't make it past the first leg. I think we carry again.

How did you use him? I can't see anything here that would point me too him.

All kinds of trouble on the inner, had him on my watch list, ran well in fits and starts but found problems every time- figured he'd get a clean run today from the back, just a matter if he could sustain it. didn't like the 8 so I was willing to go deep in that leg, used 3,5,6,7,9.

By the way- in that 6th race the 3 was much the best. Tons of trouble and when he finally got clear 100 yards from the wire he shot past them both.

In my pick 6 ticket I singled the 7 but I wouldn't say that's a strong single.

Well that's it for me. Unbelievable. There is absolutely nothing here to indicate Hawkinsville had any chance at all. Well I am pretty sure we are looking at a triple carryover.

I can take getting beat and I felt that 9 was live at the price, but I can't take getting beat by a horse making that kind of insane move and winning. What just happened there?

I didn't use him in my now defunct pk4, but I am going to put $20W on the 5 Saratoga Lullaby here at 7-1. The more I look at this race, the more I think the winner will be off the pace. $10DD 5-2. Maybe he can make an insane wide move before the turn turn, take the lead, and hold off the other horses.

I singled monte carlo on my pic 6 ticket but, of course didn't have that $36 winner in the first leg. These are all tough the rest of the way.

Agreed. The pk6 will be a tough road to hoe with that winner of the first leg.
