The others don't say avoid or the faves will be near 5-1.

Rand, why don't you like Winter Memories?

Very tough to take a filly at a short price in this race when you don't know what to make of the Euros. Her last was really really big as well. Yes she gets 4 weeks from it but the number power of Interactif last year should show that stringing enormous turf efforts back to back for 2 year olds is difficult IMO. Thus I wouldn't say she can't get a piece but the risk reward will leave her off Pick 4s and doubles for me.

I can't possibly fathom someone leaving Winter Memories out of a Pick 4 completely. She's easily the most likely winner IMO, and even if you don't think so, if you get 3/4 because you left out a $6 horse, you really should be smacked.

That's what makes horse racing great. It won't bother me in the slightest.

Really? If you have $40 winners in the other three legs and miss a Pick 4 because you left off a completely logical $6 horse, that won't irk you at all? I find that pretty hard to believe.

Believe it. I don't structure bets the same way many do.

You're so mysterious. Pretty sure you're lying. You'd be looking for a ledge. How many times does one have three $40 winners in one Pick 4? A handful per lifetime? And throwing that away by excluding a $6 horse would eat you alive just like it would anyone else.

Im not sure of my pick 4 strategy yet, but I might be tossing her in pick 3's and trying to press the Euros... Who simply might be better.

Theyskens' Theory is running in the JF, Flood Plain is nothing special and did you watch Together's Tattersalls race? Not the kind of performance I want to take a short price after. Tale Untold's the only Euro that interests me, but Winter Memories wins rather easily in my mind.

I think Midday is going to lose and she'll be 4-5.

Fair enough. I think she can move forward, but that's just my opinion. If she turns out half as good as her dam, she will be pretty good.
