Pick Three Probable on Belmont Saturday

[Scav]

HH/EC/Bern, how much does this pay if Bern wins, I am guessing $20 per $1 (If they run these races back to back to back, which I think they might

[philcski]

Probably like $25 for $2. Bernardini will be an overwhelming single and with two (likely) lukewarm favorites it's not going to pay much...

[blackthroatedwind]

English Channel looks like a very short priced favorite as well. I don't understand the Henny Hughes thing, but judging from what people are saying here, it's hard for him to be more than 8:5, so assuming these three races comprise a Pick-3 how can it even pay $20?

Thank God we know Henny Hughes is going to lose.

Who are the probables for the Turf Classic?

If those three win, I am thinking it will pay $12 for $2.

way too short given the pool size, at least $15 per $1, $20 per $1 was way out of control....

LOOk at the last time when HH and Bern won on the same day, the pick three paid like $30 I think, I am going to research it right now, probably won't be able to get it from Equibase

English Channel and his newly purchased rabbit Icy Atlantic, Frost Giant and Royal Highness from Europe. A couple other possibles.

Your not a fan of HH here?

Why would I be? He is facing horses that are faster than he has proven to be...at least so far. I'm not saying he can't win but I have no idea what he has done that people are conceding these races to him. War Front is a very good horse and Silver Train has certainly run a number of very good races. Both horses have run races that are superior to anything Henny Hughes has done. Now, if Henny Hughes was 4-1 or more I would consider using him, but at his likely much shorter price I have no idea why anyone would be excited about betting him.

I gotta agree with Mr. S on this one.. I like Henny a lot, but he's vulnerable IMO. Silver Train looks like the horse to beat, followed by Henny and War Front. Henny can certainly win, but I would cover all three of those in one way or another.

Don't know how you guys pick horses when ya don't even know if they'll be ALIVE post time.

Oh well everyone's got an opinion.......................

If you play the pik's, it doesn't matter, you're locked in...The only way to offset the takeout is to play pik's...

We all can't be a wizard with those 3:5s like you.

The real question is how jealous of me are you exactly that you go from thread to thread, and room to room, and take cheap shots at me and never have the balls to engage in an actual conversation. You wrote the book on internet coward.
