In what looks to be an extremely tough Pick 4 sequence today the pays will likely be very nice! I know there is a tendency for punters to do large Pick 4 bets when the pays look so attractive but I’m keeping the ticket small and hoping my handicapping today finds us good prices (and winners!).

Best Bets:

Race 2: Lucky Shoes to Win

Race 4: Night Badger

Longshots of the Day:

Race 5: Quality Line

Race 11: Papa’s Lady

Today’s Late Pick 4 will cost $24 with horses listed in preference.

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.

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

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