Default Any Value In the Pick 6 Saturday at Tampa Bay ?

War Pass is a single and the filly turf race i highly doubt anyone goes more then 2 deep with Dreaming of Anna and Lears Princess.... so if those 2 win, which is as close to locks as there is in this sport, can you possibly make money on the pick 6, because the other 4 races are wide open, and i dont think there is any single.... i really dont think you can even come up with 2 singles because of the big 2 in the filly turf race.... so 1 lock single who will be 1-9 and then the 1 race with 2 and then everything else looks like 3-6 deep at the very least..... just wondering what everyone thinks ? i wanted to play it, but now i dont know.

even if you did this 1*2*3*3*5*5*2 is a costly....$900 and if the races you go deep in come up chalky there is a good chance you dont even get your money back

Just single Lears Princess. Think of it this way...horses don't win twice in a row very often. So it's probably LP's turn to win over Dreaming of Anna. In any case, a 50% chance of winning a race is still pretty good.

Then again I am sort of biased...considering my avatar and MySpace group...

I think you're absolutely correct here. Especially at that distance, and the possibilty of a non-firm turf. Besides, LP is simply better, IMO. But, what do we know?

To answer your titled question, in a word, no.

I think the non-carry p-6 pools average between $2k - $3k there. Maybe tomorrow it goes as high as $5-$6,000. Your plan to turn into a Pick 4.5 (with 1 single and one 2-deep) means you'd be chasing part of a small pool with a large play, right? No way.

That's what I was thinking too. Why play when it's likely to be a small pool?
