New Year/s Eve pik 5 @ GP

[shanahan]

Race 6:
In spite of 2 K&S Ramsey runners - 2 & 4 - I\'ll go deep in leg one and add 4,6,9,11,12 to those two.  All are within 2 pts of each other and 4 of the TR are hot last 90 days.

Race 7:
while tempted to single Ward\'s # 5 (can\'t get past Pino riding) I have to again go with a few.  Mott/Juddmont don\'t usually push them first out so I\'ll grit my teeth and not include the 11.  I will add to the 5 the 2YO TR with 2YO breeding on turf.  that would include the 10 & 13.  Decision time - breeding or figs?  Let\'s combo both and go - in order - 5,4,10

Race 8:
Pletcher has 2 going here, neither is fastest but are within 2 pts.  I\'ll take one Pletcher - the KS Ramsey runner along with the 5,7,9.  Yes, 9 has best fig and 3rd out for MOTT.  You could make a case to single against TAP, but yesterday that cost me $3K for a $1 pik 4.

Race 9:
2 deep - 6 & 11.  Ignoring Walder and JC for a top owner only because it\'s not likely to run top effort today per the Thoropattern.
 
Race 10:
Mker drops fastest runner & is a risky single in finale.  If anyone acr, I\'d still go no further than the 11 for top connections also dropping.

So, for the pik 5 starting race 6:
4,6,9,11,12 w
5,4,10 w
3,5,7,9 w
6,11 w
5
for the 50 cent, this is $60

You were right about Pino.
