Not a ton of analysis here, but here are my picks after capping the card the past 2 hrs.
Juvenile Turf - Hard to go against #11 Interactive here. Not sure what kind of price he ends up, but he has to be the key, even with the short run into the first turn. I\'ll use #3 Codoy and #5 Gallant Gent to hit the board and make out a decent exotic payout.
Turf Sprint - #6 Cannonball looks like he has a very good shot in a very contentious race. I\'ll key him with the 3 inside horses, #1 Noble Court, #2 Silver Timber, #3 California Flag. #9 Diamondrella has some figs good enough to win but figures to have a very difficult trip. Trying to talk a buddy of mine off the ledge with #8 Square Eddie, he\'s making his biggest play on him.
Sprint - #2 Cost of Freedom a pretty easy key for me staring at a 20-1 ML. #1 Zensational, #3 Fatal Bullet, #5 Gayego, #8 Candyman Can are all serious contenders that I\'ll use with CoF.
Juvenile - #4 Noble\'s Promise and #9 Aikenite are my wheels here. Just can\'t bring myself to completely toss out #5 D\'Funnybone or #13 Looking at Lucky. #11 Radiohead is a definent use in the exotics at a possible price.
Mile - #1 Court Vision and #9 Gladiatorus look as good as any IMO at big prices. The fav #11 Goldikova can\'t be left out and #3 Cowboy Cal, #7 Ferneley are both definent uses for me, making this a very juicy race if it comes in right.
Dirt Mile - Another very juicy race, going to key up #8 Mr Sidney and #10 Ready\'s Echo. Mr Sidney\'s 2 back at Keeneland last year very impressive, and Ready\'s Echo took to the Woodbine track decently. #2 Furthest Land a very interesting horse I\'ll be using underneath. Not leaving out #1 Mastercraftsman. #4 Bullsbay has been running 3-4 points slower on poly, it\'s hard to make a case for him to run well enough to win here.
Turf - A standard size win bet on #6 Presious Passion is all I\'ll be playing here. Don\'t see much value in the exotics with Conduit and Spanish Moon being very legitimate threats.
Classic - I posted #1 Mine That Bird last night, but I\'m definently warming up to #8 Einstein as the day wears on and will probably be wheeling both of them. Using with #2 Colonel John, #4 Zenyatta.. And I\'m beginning to roll back to #3 Summer Bird. Even if he\'s 3-4 points slower on poly, he\'s competitive here. Actually a very tough race to handicap. There are so many possibilities here. We\'ll see what happens!
G\'luck

Jackpot! It only takes one to make a day!!! Hit the exacta real good, didn\'t get the tri because I was having a rotten day and decided to peel back on that.. Ah well. This puts me good in the green for the day.
