Belmont Pick Six

[VOL JACK]

Has anyone heard who took down the pick six sat. Big time players with deep pockets I suppose. I personally couldn't have put those six winners together on the same ticket if I had 20k.
Thought Andy or some other well connected members might have some insight.
BTW, nice pick with Will he shine. I need to borrow the dunce cap.

It was an extremely difficult sequence. Getting all those horses on one ticket would have most likely cost well in excess of $20K. But that's usually the problem. It's not like there was a particularly impossible horse in the six races....though Cotton Blossom would have been very hard for me.....and the Teuflesburg - Cotton Blossom match-up would have most likely stopped me cold. Everyone else would have easily been main ticket horses for me at least.

I liked T-berg, I have bet him everytime he has run 8f or under. It has worked out so far. I had tunnel vision on too many races!! I thought Dream rush and WaW were singles.
I am glad Belmont decided to have the late-late P4. Saved my day along with all the statebred races they really saved my day. Pretty sad when U have a card fulll of G1 and G2 races and my best opinions came in the filler races, loved Iron Goddess. Been waiting on her to try the turf, I think she may be there to stay.

I can't believe it paid $770 for a 7/2 2nd choice, 4/1 2nd choice, 4/1 2nd choice, and 2/1 favorite. Too bad I was done for the day by that point.

As for the P6, no way I could have had Teuf and Cotton Blossom on the same ticket. Not a chance.

Yeah, but with two obvious singles in Dream Rush and Wait a While go down, it obviously takes a lot of players out of the pool.

I had a miserable day in stakes races on Saturday. Will He Shine, Tueflesberger, and My Typhoon nailed me.

I'm not a pick 6 player, but I was pretty proud of my picks in the Belmont Contest thread. They ran 2nd/1st/2nd/1st/1st/1st in the pick 6 sequence. Unfortunately, I never would have had Teuflesberg or Will He Shine...

Nice Job.......


My tough beat came in the manhattan, when Sahkis got nosed for second. I had the exacta big with BTN. Only a small tri box as a saver.

I take it that U didn't give the P6 a go?
