Toss is strong? Why toss? Taking a shot is one thing. Toss is another.

Joe -- I'd say much depends on who you like in the other legs. If you're going to single Lookin at Lucky in the Derby, then maybe you're cruising for a chalky payoff if Blind Luck wins...but remember two things -- 1.) Lots of wacky money in any pool on any day that has the word "Derby" in it in Kentucky, so prices tend to be inflated as it is, and 2.) Aren't you going to feel stupid if you catch a 12-1 winner in the Woodford and a 20-1 winner in the Derby and don't have the even-money favorite to kick the thing off and miss out on that payday, which won't be small pickings even with Blind Luck in it?

The rest of the sequence would dictate how I'd play against her, if I were inclined to do so like you are.

Just my two cents.

You can play a BL / all / L@L P3 and it will still pay 100 if the chalk wins the middle leg.

I wont be using more then 4, LAL is now a standout IMO, after the trip Gomez gave him last time I can see a clear stalking trip the entire way, kind of like POTN last year, and Gomez trying to win at as they turn for hime. I will back up with Awesome Act, Dublin and the filly. Thats really it I cant get on anyone else at this point.

You should play a 300$ P3 Blind Luck, Loup Need pace Breton, L@L.

Will wait to see PPs and such for the turf race, but I'm a big Loup Breton fan, so not sure I'm going to argue with you there...but I reserve the right to once entries are taken.

Point being, there's money to be made whether you play with or against Blind Luck -- it's just how MUCH you're thinking you need to get back to make you want to put your bet in. It may just not be worth leaving her out.

Again, will reserve my final comments for tomorrow...

...but my initial comment to that is oh sweet jesus why am I even talking about this with you?
