You say that your pick for the winner would not be the pick you make for the win spot in the Points contest. Since there is no issue of odds or potential payoff involved, aren't they one and the same? Why would one not place in the top slot the horse he or she thought was going to win?
UT OH, you'llllllllll be sorry.

I'm certain that you are correct. I have seldom known when to keep my mouth shut.

CONFUSING THE INFAMOUS JOLY B IS AN HONOR

Ok..HERE IS A BRIEF EXPLANATION
I DO POINTS PIX BASED ON ODDS...

BUT THE HORSE I MAY REALLY THINK COULD WIN,
OR THE EXACTA, TRIFECTA FOR BONUS POINTS
MAYBE NOT THE EXACT ONES I DO IN POINTS.....
FOR DIFFERENT REASONS ~
SUCH AS HIGHER ODDS THAT ARE NOT WISE FOR POINTS CONTEST

BUT.. IT IS WHAT IT IS...

At least I’ll put my favorite horses in my ROI
which will be quite different than the ones I have in the points contest

OK folks lets stop the superfluous banter and get to the extra picks and guesses. Thank you and the PP's are up on Brisnet.

NOPE DID NOT
No reason to yet because I’m not handicapping the card until tomorrow

Sometimes on big days the races that take place after the BIG one
We do not do so I was just checking to be sure before I started pix
