I meant 8,9 in the last on the 2nd ticket, smog brain in action :)

I played this pk3 when my 20-1 shot #2 Cousin Joe got the lead then tired at the wire...thought I had something. crap

6)2,6
7)2,3,5,9
8)1,4,8

I do not get all the love for #6 Dream Now...Maybe I am missing something but I doubt he hits the board. I really like Abrams horse here. The last race could be wide open..I was not overly impressed with the #8 last time out and I think the #1 improves a ton, and two firsters could be dangerous..(3 and 6)

Knew Dream Now was waaaay overbet...didnt hit the board.

the 9 Sky Marni here made a mess of her debut.. still had a bit of run late but was shut off in the stretch.

she was in no way going to win but I thought she ran just as good a race as the 8 (even money) if not better.

5-1 looks bueno

If the field sizes were 10x10x9x12 and highly contested, say it is first weekend at Saratoga, well then I can see $250 into a sequence like that, but $250 into a Friday at Santa Anita with 6x6x10x6, horrible mismanagement.

Selecting a horse and how you structure your tickets are EQUALLY important. Any horse player that has been around for at least one year has heard the saying "All I do is pick winners and I have nothing to show for it because I can't structure". That ticket is TERRIBLY inefficient.

You will probably go and hit that ticket today for $2500 and that would be great BUT in the long run, be prepared to get torched with that method, and I can't wait to hear "I spent $250 and I got back $80"

I understand your viewpoint on it and with all the scratches today it didn't matter.

I just couldn't definitively toss any of the horses I left in those short fields. I think in the long run spending $240 on a 6x6x10x6 field would be detrimental to a bank roll, I have never posted a ticket that high on this site over the past couple months. I just thought they were highly contested fields. Probably should have just bet the #1 horse I liked in the first and skipped the wager all together. I ended up spending $72 and making a profit of $36.

Sorry for sounding like an ass yesterday. Had a rough day.
