If you are "lost" on race 4,
don't have a single in race 5,
and are "lost" again on race 6,

why do you "plan on playing" that pick-3 at all?

I'm not trying to bust your balls or anything, I'm actually just curious why you said you wanted to play that particular sequence if those were your thoughts on those races.

Would you like honesty?

Theres nothing else to play today or tomorrow. I like the price horses in the 5th and I will not bet them both to win, so pick 3 using them both is the way to go, I just started looking and figured a few ppl's opinions on here could help come up with something.

I'm not a big Tampa Bay man but here is my shot at 4 through 6

3,7,12
6,8
4,7,12

best of luck

I guess that is the part that I don't quite understand. If the 5th race is the one where you have an opinion that you like....why not just bet the 5th? Why not bet them to win, or in exactas, or whatever you think makes the most sense?
Don't get me wrong, I love pick-3s, but in the scenario you described where two of the races in the sequence are giving you serious problems, and your strong opinion is in one particular race, I'm not sure playing a pick-3 is the smartest investment.

I think one of them can win, but not that they can run 1-2. I would rather play a 5-2-5 pick 3 for 50 then bet 25 to win on both of them, if I cant come up with the winners going 5 deep, then thats my fault.
