We hit the late Pick 4 on Sunday with the small $32 bet paying $663! 8 smallish fields for the Friday card
LA Times/Union Tribune Value Play:
Race 6: Handsome Cat has won two in a row going 6 furlongs on dirt for trainer Steve Miyadi with this same jockey. Miyadi drops the horse in class but races him protected today. He also switches him to turf and moves to a mile distance. ‘Cat has the top last race speed and has a great closing kick. This 8-1 price is the best value on the card today.
Value Plays for Today:.
Race 5: Cedar Rapids has the top last race speed and closing kick at 15-1 in a mediocre $8k claimer.

Typos happen and I do my best not to make them. Always read through my writeups to make sure the posted numbers are correct. I list Pick 4, Pick 5 selections and also a listing of all plays for each race. If there are any differences, please let me know.
*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.
