I just don’t see the need to add mediocre horses to a ticket … sure they could win, but nobody is jumping off the form for me. The Roadhouse…. I know this horses is headed in the complete wrong direction, but im interested in hearing others opinions on this race. Stream of Gold seems the only other logical horse to me in this race, but this is also a horse hitting bottom at the age of 9 with 27 lifetime starts, on form he comes off as a plodder.

The Roundhouse makes sense on paper, but he's just been such a complete disappointment this year, I could never single him. Stream of Gold is logical, but I think he needs a pace collapse to win and there really isn't much speed. If Eldoktori is able to sit just behind Cinder Cone, I think he'll take some catching in the stretch. I'm a little interested (as I often am) in Voss' horse, even though he appears to be in lousy form, he has some competitive turf races on the flats.

This race makes the pick 6 almost unplayable to me.

i really tried to make and excuse to use this horse....but i couldn't. I got him forth behind the obvious contenders and slick wheelie for god sakes. I just haven't seen the horse moving forward at the end of his last couple races..he did only lose his last by 3/4 but i think he's more apt to have a similar race 2 back where he stalks and just fades.... why the #5 Beneath the Crown is only 8-1 ml is beyond me.... wide open finale

The race sets up way better for Eldoktori than it does for The Roundhouse. He's no great shakes, but I'd prefer a horse with some tactical speed to a plodder like TR or SoG, especially with the way these jocks let people go on turf.

I'm 1/2/3/4 in this race and not comfortable, but I thought Voss's horse was the most interesting, jumps obviously didn't work and as you said, his races back at Laurel fit here.

Why can't Cinder Cone go gate to wire? If those jocks don't respect his speed and let him go 25/50, he could be gone.

I know, but I don't like anyone in this race and if I was a balla it would be an all, I am just looking for some reason to include someone.
