Thanks Matt-O... Live to the 4-9 in the nightcap... Left Latent Heat off the race play but not the P4...Thought he'd contest fast earlier from out there.
Interesting race... Brother Derek with absolutely no where to go. Ric Hammerle said Friday on the radio that Frankel was insistent that 'Heat' was going to win this.. THAT was a good group...

Good 'cappin, Steve. I left Latent Heat off my Pick 4 ticket. 3 out of 4.
Had Taylor's Route in the first and Kip Deville in the 7th for a real solid day though.

Thx guys.. I hadn't answered the "Up/Down in '06" thread question yet, but can now safely say "Up" for the year...
This makes up for the $9 loss on the Calder winning 4 the other day!! And to be honest, the ticket cost less than the one I posted this morning... And you know, we should all recognize from this that there's credence to Bellsbendboy's P4 theories... Two REALLY playable horses in Kip Deville and Latent Heat bring back great mutuels, and then the favorites on either end. $1,700??? Wow.. This is why the "4" is the best bet at the track.

I don't think anyone would dispute that a Pick-4 where you have two strong opinions CAN work out well for you and is certainly a situation one should invest in. However, you are likely to be correct with both horses only a small percentage of the time, and while if you're a good handicapper and a good bettor you will find this makes money for you, it is impossible that, first, you will do this with regularity ( especially on small plays ) and secondly that you will have the afformentioned substantial ROI over time. The Pick-4 is a great bet, and YOU showed us that today, but you have also seen how many times it has proven elusive and a lot harder than it looked beforehand. Mere mortals like us do not have ROIs of $36.24 for every $2 bet.
