Capping these tough races is one thing, now how do you bet them? So many options, that's what makes this game so tough.
R1: #4 and #8 for me, start of pick 5
R2: ##7 is horse to beat and i have to use in pk5 tix but #8 interests me at a price, i thought he did more work than 1st and 2nd place finishers in his last race, i also think he isn't too far behind others that'll take money in here.
R3: I'll be using #5 and #8
R4: One of the speeds ran today (#3) so will be scratched, but still plenty of other early speeds 1,8,10 to set it up for closers like #6 and #9, those are the two i like. Ben's Cat may very well be one to beat but i'll take my chances against him going 6F
R5: A lot of early speed in here could set up for someone coming from off the pace, #2 interests me the most at 30-1 ML, his best races imo have been at 7F to 1M , troubled trip in last. In pk5's also using #10 and #12
R6: #5 the best and also using #2, will have a big win bet on #5, one of best bets of day
R7: #6 is a single for me
R8: #9 is one to beat and has to be used in multi race tix but what if her and #4 hook up early and set it up for someone else? Guess 1,3,5,9,10 are my contenders and #1 is my biggest price that i have to mess around w/, tough trip in last, shuffled and still only beaten 2.5 lengths, impressive winning in previous two races, in good form.
R9: I'm against fav #1 because of drawing inside post and pressure will be on with other speeds in here, I like #6 and #9 the best and will also use #10 and #11 and possibly #12..can't use them all, still unsure if i use either one of #4 or #5
R10: 4, 9, maybe a little 3 and possibly use 8, I'm gonna be against 6
R11: two horse race for me 2 and 9, 9 has a legit chance to spoil this
R12: 1,3,4,6 are my contenders
R13: #4 at 30-1 ML is the one i want, love cut backs in extended sprints and i feel he's always wanted 7F to 1M, #5 is fav and i'll take shot against, scratched out of 3 dif races on Preakness day, maybe there something to that, maybe not, but at a short price i'll take a shot against him and guess there may have been a problem
