I thought the exact same thing this morning when I looked at Impressionism as a single. She should be fine trying turf for the first time b/c she's bred to do so and going 8.5F, also has the breeding and strong connections. I might do it anyway, not sure. Right now I'm leaving towards Makderah as a solid single.

How much
 

are yall gonna spend on the pick 6 for tomorrow ne chance someone with a small bankroll can hit it.

This is a race that makes me want pull what's left of my hair out...A rail battle between a 290K War Chant yearling purchase and a 240K Maria Mon yearling purchase...Hushion 29%; McLaughlin 31%...throw in a 450k Gulch yearling purch from Rich Violette...Practically a million in horse flesh between the 3, and all of them firsters....

EDIT - Baletti has one start

I noted significant gap in published works on My Michael in the 6th (Dec 20 - Apr 21). Not sure of significance.

I am with Phil and most people; this is a very hard pick 6 sequence. If I was playing alone, I would prob put together a ticket that is around $288. However, we have 4 people willing to invest $300 each into this ticket. Turf racing isn't my best either and Belmont makes it much harder because of the size of their track.

A horse I really love is Whateverwilbwillb in the 7th. I like the first off layoff with this horse. She has a history of running big off a layoff. I also like Miss Poison in the 5th. The sire has good numbers for firsters and I think the horse will be ready to go.

I agree here. The Flying Zee Stable entries look vulnerable here. I love how MTG rated just off the lead in her last, dropped back some, than was able to make up some ground late on the eventual winner. The top finishers(other than the actual winner) in that race look to be the play here. IMO (Fiddlers Pleasure, MTG. and Classic Marilyn)

I strongly disagree.

Unlike Monday's virtually unhittable sequence this one is a huge favorite to be hit.

hmmm, race 4 is friggin contentious...Unigold i kinda like but i need to dig deeper.
now race 7 Whateverwillbwillb seems to do better on a softer turf. tomorrow will be firm. Square Dancing did ok in 06 but is off her game this year. doesn't seem like she cared for the inner at A. she is coming in 2nd off a layoff and has put up a big turf number last year...she like the firm going on the turf. Fiddlers Pleasure, i just wonder if she doesn't love the firm going.

Why was it virtually unhittable the 28th?

I assume, overall, carryovers are hit 90-95% of the time, so you're probably right on tomorrow. What made Monday so different?

Honestly, I expect someone(s) to buy a big ticket and take it down, but given the lack of obvious singles it's difficult to construct a reasonable ticket for less than $1,000-2,000 IMO.

Very tough card.I believe the true single on the card is the 4 in the 8th.I live with the shieks or die with them & I do more livin'.I find Ms poison in the 5th very interesting.Look @ those good steady grass works then mediocre dirt works @ best now she races on the turf.Barclay Tagg kinda dirt to turf & KINGMAMBO too.Things that make you go HHHHMMMMM.

Hey Mike, nice pics! makes me feel like I'm learning something :D :D :D Best of Luck - Get 'em again!

Thanks Dan, good luck to you too.

Had your girl on my ticket last weekend, thought she had it. I think she found a home on the turf.

They were very contentious and open races and there was only one odds on horse the whole day. An even mildly responsible play ran into the thousands.

I told Byk Monday morning I would be shocked if it was hit.

Thanks, glad you cashed. I was out of town, but hesitated to post anything as We really had no idea she'd take to the turf as well as she did. Having Castro up helped a ton as well, gave her a great ride. He said the 5 got into her on the break and he had to check a bit, and figured it cost her about 3 lengths. I never saw our entry mate figuring, so was amazed to see her catch us to the wire.

Too Much Zip ran a game 2nd the weekend before last, and AD ran 2nd last out over the dirt, so 3 places for the month will pay some bills :)

Gonna try to bring them both back on 6/17 - and plan on heading up to BEL for the day to catch it, they both look like they could make some noise next out

Taking a shot with a "small" $16 ticket -

4th) 2 - in a race where several never seem to find the winner's circle, Taming the Tiger did me well a few Saturday's back = $$$...
why not right back as a "single" in this field.
5th) 3/8 - tough race! trying to beat the favorite Winsome Ways, Tagg trainee looks like she'll love the weeds...
Shug must be respected here also!
6th) 9 - Justy looks like the logical "single" in this pick 6, but I do fear the "4" for Ward.
7th) 1/9 - 1 POE looks the "class" of this statebred turf test, Classic Marilyn also has been very good to me in the past...will include.
8th) 4/5 - these two get the call here, both done well "out of town".
9th) 6 - singling the firster in the final leg, although bottom two (9/10) are the "ones to beat".

The play:

2 - 3/8 - 9 - 1/9 - 4/5 - 6
