Not sure if these picks qualify as "sheet theory" or not but...

MonmouthGuy,

Hmm.. I\'m not quite sure who is stopping you from taking your hard earned money to the window and putting it on MMM.  I don\'t see an internet poster (a dodgy one at that) disagreeing with your horse racing pick as a good excuse to go flying off the handle.   BTW, We heard all this about MMM\'s workouts prior to the Preakness and he came out onto the track as if he was deathly ill.

Sekrah,

You are misinformed on Mucho Macho Man.  The colorful adjectives like \"ghastly\" are just not correct.

At his heaviest, he is a thin horse.  Tall, lean and thin.  Reports are his energy level is good and the workout was fine.  He may not be good enough, but he is hardly sickly.

OMG,

No chance carrying this much weight but what the heck

I had completely sworn off MMM after keying him in the first 2 legs but quickly realized that if I left him out he would come back to bite me !!! Why do I have this incredible Chairtable Man feeling ?

Anyway a ex, tri & sup box of:
MMM
Stay Thirsty
Nehro
Santiva
Brilliant Speed

Will also key MMM 1st & 2nd with the above as well as add MOH & AK in the 3rd & 4th spots on tri & super tickets.

Jim I\'m up for a partial co-sponsorship on the common ticket. Opening Day until Whitney Day.

All we need is richiebee to hop on board and I\'ll be putting up end of the world
bill boards !!!

Good luck,

Frank D.

Any consideration for another wide wide trip for MMM?

These Belmont\'s seem to be slower paced and bunched up.Maragh always had this guy wide and I\'m not sure Ramon can do much about that given the post.If he fires ground loss might get him beat in the end.Bluegrass Cat lost going 5w5w a few years back to Jazil.

Speaking of that JR has some wide wide Belmont trips from outer posts:

4w4w on Readys Echo in 2008
5w4w on RagstoRiches in 2007
5w5w on Bluegrass Cat in 2006

Something to consider for those who are using AK on top.Not sure even if he fires that he\'s good enough to overcome 4 or 5 wide.

Anyway, I\'ve given your post some thought and agree on your top four.Hopefully I won\'t anchor you.

MMM is the only one weak on stamina on paper but he\'s already outrun his bloodlines and was getting to Nehro at ten furlongs.Good work over the strip-so he\'s in the mix.

MOH should stay into the tri\'s and supers.

AK has that German distance breeding underneath but I\'m gonna try and beat him on wide.

I\'ll play it with Brillant Speed on top of those three.

Nehro,Shack,Santiva and Stay Thirsty are all horses I\'ve considered but tossing
reluctantly.

MMM was getting to Nehro at ten furlongs.

Shack ran big at Pimlico but twelve furlongs is a different ballgame.Mom Oatsee is what gets him a distance just don\'t think she can carry him those extra couple of furlongs.

Santiva has sprint at the very bottom of his pedigree and how hard would it have been to send him to Belmont a week or two early to train?

Stay Thirsty doesn\'t like it down on the inside in traffic so the draw did him no favors.Probably gets sent early to avoid a jam up which might be his undoing.

Good Luck

Frank:

You are quite crafty. You know if I post a Pick 4 ticket you will have 12 - 15
toss outs.

Where can I get a BC future bet down? Can I get 50/1 on AK to win the BCTurf
Classic?
