More unlikely 4 race winning streak ...

I'll Have Another (Bob Lewis at 43/1, SA Derby at 4/1, Derby at 15/1, and Preakness at 3/1)

Or...






Pico Central --- ( Alw win at 37/1, San Carlos win at 43/1, Carter win at 4/1, Met Mile win at 3/1 plus every nickle of the breakage) in his first four starts after arriving from Gavea.

Personally I will take a $20K claimer with a full field over a stake with a 6 horse field with one horse that overmatches the field at less then even money and two horses will scratch.

Those $20K claimers can yield some nice prices.

Exactly. They are still competitive races and as challenging to handicap as any.

I think you want a good mix of races, last thing I want to see is 3-4 2yo maidens.
