Nice pick RHT. I wouldn't have bet her even at 20-1 because I thought the horse had no chance with the inside speed. Evidently, they both SCRed after I posted. Not backing away from what I said (in fixed odds it doesn't matter) or taking away from your pick, but it definitely changed the race complexion.

You didn't need the second paragraph. You were just piling on yourself. What exchange wagering has to do with you obnoxiously criticizing someone else's pick, especially when you don't even have one of your own, will remain a great mystery.
I've posted enough picks here for it to be well known I'm not afraid of making my opinions public. Other than to force bets, why do I have to have an opinion on a winner every race? I'm not being paid to pick. Can't my opinion be that I find it hard to like anything and I'd much rather lay against what I think is a bad favourite or low underlay than to take a shot to try and beat him/her? How many times have you taken a random stab against a bad fav only for some other random horse like Snake Oil Charlie to win? Wouldn't you have preferred just to bet against the fav winning?

Keen 6th today
The 10 feels like a very very likely winner to me.
Good luck

@ Mr. 2004:

Did you notice what a good looking sort Trust is ?
She cost 400k at auction.........when you look at her you can see why.
She's really boxy/muscular on her back portion,kind of explaining her early speed.
She's also kind of long........making you think she'll route with no problem.
You can see her looks via the replay.

I'll throw my hat in the ring keeping to improving 2 year olds. Keenelands 7th I like the 3 Platinum Equity. Coming up from Fl with a couple breezes over the track. Think this son of stay thirsty has every right to continue improvement stretching out. Good early speed, and with a few races behind him should settle nicely this time out. Odds should hold in a competitive field, and thinking today they put a ring around him!

Best o' luck to all!
