does anyone think that Wilko actually has a shot today, I always root for this horse and make a little bet on him and will be doing the same today!

I fear Wilko isn't quite good enough for this level. He won the BC Juvie because he was fitter than better horses like Afleet Alex. Definitely can hit the board, because he keeps on running, just not fast enough.

Wilko is the crux of the stupidist bet I ever made. BC at Lone Star, Pick 3. Single Ouija Board. Three horses in the Mile, including my boy Singletary (it's a long story, was on his bandwagon before he made his first start), then was going to go All in the Juvie. But then thought - Hey, those Euros never do anything, I'll leave the two of them off, save myself $6. Ri-i-i-ight. I cheap myself out of so many good scores.

He can hit the board for sure.

I def. think he will hit the board, as many people say i guess he has a problem with "hanging". Like you said, not the fastest but keeps on running thats for sure.

Wilko is like Funny Cide and Perfect Drift, make sure you have him in on the minor placings and wheel everyone else on top and see how you come out

I can relate. The Lone Star BC was a tough day for me except one bet, and it was a pk 3 similar to yours. SINGLE Speightstown in the sprint, SINGLE Oujia Board in the F&M turf, and take ALL in the Juvy.
An $8 bet paid back arond $550. Saved me BIG time that day.
