4/12: Keeneland; Oaklawn; Premier P4
Arrive at penultimate Derby Trail Prep Weeekend on nice roll after $2,500 P4 score Thursday and assorted casharoos Friday at Aqueduct. Went 5 of 6 in the P6 carryover try, misreading the 7th race, though conso's $172 covered the $144 play. Closed out the afternoon with dynamite trifecta with returnee and "Best Value" play Fast Learner tripping $711.00 hit on $21.00 win mutuel. Earlier, "Best Value" suggestion Watch My Lass came through in 6th under the shadow of the wire at 7-1 ending an $83.50 P3 run. Hope you did well!

Steve-
Do you really think Ready's Echo looks that solid? I won't be using him at that price when I feel there are a few in here probably better than him. Also not sure how he'll like the poly. Considering Proud Kentuckian, Limestone Edge, and Manager Boire for the PK4. |

Here's my original thought for the late PK4 @ KEE:
1,3,5 w/ 6,10 (i've always liked forefathers but don't trust him here) w/ w/ 3,5,6 w/ 3,4,11 = $54/$1 |
