Hate going against Baffert off the bench, but 2-5 too short for any horse away for 7 months. Tour Guide was running 6s when he as a baby. Big top coming for this one very soon. I\'ll hope the maintenance guys overcompensate for yesterdays bias and slow the track down and try here at this price in 5 horse race.
8 Mind Eyes and 3 Winding Way my keys in Ken Maddy S.
Artemis Agrotera looks best to me in Juve Fillies. Fast and versatile.
Okay.. I\'ll just bet G.S. the rest of the card..
Must key Marketing Mix. 10-1 on very competitive horse and a jockey who is locked in right now. Arlington Park loss to Dank very possibly bounce/reaction to monster Sunset Handicap performance. Qushchi a possible bomb if the pace goes nuts.
See no reason to dismiss Groupie Doll at 4-1. Followed identical route last year before she exploded to neg 4 in this race. Would be shocked if she doesn\'t run a negative number here.
#10 Havelock, fastest fig in the race at a big price. Coming back into form after lousy overseas ship. Going to be crazy finish, might as well key the big price.
PICK 4:
I purchased 3 tickets:
Main ticket: 3-7-9/1-3-7-9/8/ALL - Cost= $66.00
3-Twilight Eclipse; 7-The Fugue; 9- Indy Point/
1-Justin Phillip; 3-Gentlemen\'s Bet; 7- Private Zone; 9- Secret Circle/
8- Wise Dan/
Every Horse in the Breeders\' Cup Classic....
Backup Ticket #1: 7-9/1-3-7-9-12/2-3-4-5/1-6-7-8-9 - cost = $100.00
2nd leg backup horse 12 - Laugh Track
3rd leg horses: 2-Silentio; 3- Silver Max; 4- Obviously; 5- Olympic Glory
last leg (CLassic) horses: 1- Last Gunfighter; 6- Mucho Macho Man;
7- Fort Larned; 8- Palace Malice; 9- Game On Dude.
Backup Ticket #2: 1-2-4-5-6-8-10-11-12/ 1-3-7-9-12/ 8/ 6-7. Cost $45.00
1st leg - every other horse in the race.
So, no matter what happens in the 1st leg, I\'m alive to 4 and 5 horses in the 2nd leg.
Total cost $211.00. Could get interesting as Johnny Velasquez was injured. Might not ride Wise Dan, but if he does, he\'s likely hurting and at a disadvantage.
Trying a bomber here. Something about #8 Conquest Titan I like. Top end speed is there and I think he\'ll much prefer the dirt. Going off mjellish tip that his last race had trouble. Big move forward here possible.
I\'m a stubborn old mule who avoids chalk like the plague. I\'ll try Silver Max and the Euro Olympic Glory.
