I took the Candy Ride second time starter in the 4th. 2 rules Ill try to follow....
Stay away from super obvious/popular horse. Tomorrow is clearly Evening Jewel. Stay away from claiming races. MSW, Stakes and Allowance races is where Ill choose from.

I too am going to try and not get suckered into the "obvious" or "popular" horses..Which most likely means I will be out by the weekend

This one is really risky IMO. Comes out of the worse race of anyone. The Runflatout race is likely OK and I like the Baffert and Steve A from that race a lot.

Taking Lord Avalon in the 2nd, looks like they've been pointing to this spot. Also, thanks for this thread, otherwise I would have never known there was a round 2.

It doesn't really matter because at some point I always forget to put my pick in. I will take #1 Wegner in the 8th.
Good luck everyone.

Mr. Commons for me, without even looking at the PP's. 8-5 in the 6-horse 8th race.

Arletta, I hope yours comes in. Sharp Humor was one of my favs.

Thanks Dunbar.. I might change my mind before post time.. I am liking the #11 in the 1st quite a bit. I think either horse will run in the $$, but I need to get a win and not just play it "safe" like I did last time.

Will go with Evening Jewel in a 5-horse race off the turf. Would be extremely shocked if she cannot finish in the money versus those remaining in the race.

If she runs out of the $$, it will sure knock out a lot of people.

I would've switched to that one if I hadn't been on the road all day.

Now Evening Jewel is running in a 4 horse field. A lot of scratches today so almost all the chalk is coming in.

Another PP-less stab for me: Word Association in the 6th.
