Race 1- Tricky off the turf race where the 3 contenders I like all lack spped which is usually valued on a wet track.
The way to play it is to try and beat the big fave of Frankel's #10 Determinator. Frankel is usually a must play off a trainer switch to him but this one came from the always deadly Cole Norman so the improvement may not be so big. Horse teh best figs but lacks speed. At the short price use him underneath in exactas and tri's and try to get home #'s 3 or 5 on top.
race 2- Pletcher vs Mclaughlin in a 4 horse field. Not betting the race but will use both in pik-4's to start off.
race 3- A two horse affair between # 3 Time To Grow Up and #6 Its the Ritz. WIll use both in pik-4's but give the edge and press bet to Time to Grow up, who has been senational in his last two and posesses more speed than his main opponent.
race 4- #2 Any Which Way drops into NY bred maiden claiming race off a 4th in an open MSW at Charles Town. Swtiches trainers to Domino and is a late announced FIRST TIME GELDING. Also use #3 Prince Billy who has good back figures and drops down to claiming level after showing speed last time on the grass, hence the old "off the grass and down in class" angle.Include meeses two Pieces in your pik-4's as well off the trainer switch to galluscio from Friedman and the drop down in class.
race 5- Love#5 Lime King here. Sharp winner last time out at Philly in a claiming race and won a NY bred MSW three back in the slop. save with #'s 4 and 8.
Pik-4 play- 1,4 (press the 1)
3,6 (press the 6)
2,3,5(press the 2)
4,5,8 (press the 5)

race 6- Impossible race, not worth playing
race 7- see notes on race 6
race 8- very soft turf often equals wacky results, no thanks, I will pass
race 9- Impossible race, no thank you

Agree Mike, like same horses earlier, late races tough with the weather. Guess to look for other tracks with better weather today or just go to the mall
LOL!

I like the #2 in the 4th too. The #2 will come up a few times today.

Oracle, hadnt 'capped the belmont card, missed the pick4 and came back and played the pick 3, singling in the first and last leg and took the 3 in the middle. great job and thanks.

Three of the press bets just won in the sequence I gave out. If anyone played this properly you should have at least 6 bucks on the pik-4, what a sweet payout. Hope some of you listened, if you did, you are well funded for the rest of today.
