Play every day, $100 win (however, that strategy has failed me so far as I have had two longshots that both ran place!).

I'll try Charlie Em in the next one, hoping the cutback to 8 furlongs helps.

Kind of expect a fast pace today with the 1 and the 3 contending with each other. Problem is you never know with Leparoux riding the 3. He may decide to take back and give the race to the 1. Would not surprise me at all.

My original pick was the #9. Switching to Cassidy's uncoupled entry, #3 for the usual $100 win.
