Columbus Day racing today and this card looks nice. The fields have the look of some chaos. The Pick 4 has no standout singles and a lot of shippers at decent prices where spreading is a necessity. I have a lot of races with favorites and live longshots today and if we can connect they should be big!

Pick 4 “I need a Single” is going to be in race 9 Bowies Hero with Bejarano riding this unbeaten horse who won the Del Mar Juvenile last out. Morning line favorite for trainer D’Amato who is winning 60% with the turf fav since May

Best Bets: In the Pick 5 I needed a single so itxxxxxxxx

Longshots of the Day: Win/place bets on these

Race 5: Sense of Glory, nothing much on paper BUT Daddy in law Ellis has Talamo riding when he rode his other horse in here previously, always pay attention to that kind of move with these 2

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.
