Pick 4 I need a single is in race – none I want prices today!

Longshots of the Day:

Race 4: Hard to Come Home is my price closer in a race that projects a lot of early speed, 2nd start off the layoff the price is too good to ignore

Race 5: Awesome Heights races protected today after winning at this distance last out off a year break. We see a sharp work last week and go fast early jockey Edwin Maldonado rides again and he is winning 40% for trainer Genaro Vallejo. 2nd start off the layoff and racing protected today in a sign of optimism we are getting great value at 12-1

Race 8: Forestation won the last in May closing strongly 5 wide to win going 6 furlongs. We get a sharp work last week that is not claim bait as the horse races protected today. This horse also likes being on the inside posts. 12 -1 is a great price for a proven closer who will have pace to run at today.

Horses listed in brackets are for added coverage if wanted and for exotics.

For races where I only have one or two selections I usually like to KEY the top choice  with the second choice and an outside for trifectas.

When I have three horses selected in a Pick 4 or Pick 5 consider them for Trifecta boxes and for superfecta boxes use the 3 selections with the highest priced horse with good form or top tier jockeys riding, especially if they give a price. Rolling Pick 3 and doubles using selections.

Irish horse racing saying –

“Bíonn grásta Dé idir an dialait agus an talamh.”

“The grace of God is found between the saddle and the ground.”
