It was 3 of 4 on the Pick 4 after our odds on favorite in the main event was ridden 3 wide in a 5 horse field and was beaten by a nose. Argg! The pay on the win would have been another low one as even with the odds on going down it paid only $136. I am keeping the Pick 4 bet on the low end again today.
You can see my best bets, longshots and the Pick 5 selections over on my website for free
Best Bets:
Race 1: Face of Victory
Race 4: Wade
Longshots of the Day:
Race 6: Well Caught
Race 7: #1 Well Caught is a 1st time Irish with Prat riding and we won with him in this scenario a week ago. Grade 1 in the blood and a ok Irish record you know I have to use. #7 Amber Louise has a win and two seconds at this distance. I also threw in #4 Mining Diamonds who won on a wet track. She ran third surging on the hill previously and that makes her a player here today.
Today’s Late Pick 4 will cost $36 with horses listed in preference.
3,2,5,1
4,2,6

Races 1-5sections and also for Pick 5, exacta and trifecta boxes
1,2 or All
2,4
5,9

3,2,5,1
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.
