my early picks...1 & 2

My early picks 1 and 7

Good luck to all

My early picks 1 and 7. The 1 moved 7-4-4 off a 109-135.3 (calculated) and the 7 moved 5-3-1 off a 110.5 to get to the mile in 135.8. Powermove wise I like the 7 but would box'em and hope for the best.

Good luck to all

I know the third line back looks like an outlier, but I think this horse might be worth either w/p or throwing into a gimmick at current (15-1) odds or better.

I took her for win/place. Only because the odds are good and the only really bad race was the last one at Pimlico on Preakness Day.

Sharp call Clore and "BJennet"!!!

Very nice place mutual and exotic.

Interesting line on the winner. To the race, she'd run 5 times, winning 3, and all 3 wins were WIPEOUTS; including her last race. Of course, all those were on OFF tracks and she wasn't exactly a value play at 7:1. Power of the wipeout.

Thanks Richie. I normally bet win only, but as I didn't like the fave, I thought I'd get a good place price and that's what happened. The first two horses were the top two in LP based on my pace lines, but the 3 was tops in BL.

The horse might have won had it not gotten blocked at the top of the stretch.

I'm sorry I forgot that this was the Matcher's area, but this seemed to be a relative no-brainer that I hoped some would take a look at the 3. #3 was TE-2, and the winner TE-3, on my readout (gotta get the screen-capture technique down). As Clore says, both were the clear closers #1 and #2 DCL horses. I bet the 3 to win only and backwheeled him behind what appeared to be a very contentious field for the exacta 5x. To look at betting the race in an even better way, a simple box of the top three TEs would have given you the $248 exacta.
