LA Times Value Play:
Race 6: It’s My House was well bet in the debut and ran 2nd. Claimed by Miyadi he races the horse protected today. He wins 24% shipping and this 15-1 morning line price seems like it is too good to be true. The presence of two Baffert horses is why! Horses over 10-1 have won this race 20%.

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.
