Both of my friends are going to read this looking for a Preakness play. Fledgling players, sharp enough, would like to hook them into cappin. Recommending they bet the big horse at 6-5 would do little to further my cause. So, going to give them a pick four ticket, ending with the Preakness, figuring if I can stay alive race to race, it would increase their interest and maybe get 10-1 on their wager, which will not be immaterial.
Always try to make a case for my selections/bets yet am often pressed for time and the research/passion/experience/ long track record/ limited commentary is lacking in what I post. Amazed at some here on the other forums, SF +6 is there only comment. Mind boggling many assume such as gospel, especially in a binary venture at odds of 11-10. If you are still reading a competent capper can make good coinage.
Again trying to get to the big horse, start with race 10 the Sir Barton. Named after triple crown winner 8.5 dirt panels restricted sophs, non-stakes winners. And what shows up a pair of stallions! Both will stand yet have only broken their maidens.
Sir Barton
CRUDO off the fence for Todd, could be any kind. By Justify out of a mare that has produced pure gold! Multiple grade winners and a full sister has won all 8 of her voyages in Japan. Master chef, pedigree expert, B Flay acquires this one as a weanling, 350K, names it CREDO, (raw fish). Debuts, Hallandale, big move, ran out of training, normal, Johnny a couple of taps, wrapped up. Time off, repeated bullets preceded Kee turn da force, on the engine, at less than .50 cents on the dollar, ears pricked more to give. Best of 65 @ Oklahoma ensues, long gone here as second choice.
Not so fast my friends, INVICTUS, By Into Mischief, out of Kentucky Oaks winner, (my largest win bet ever) has shown serious talent. Also, a poor debut, time off, Keeneland romp, yet had lead change issues. Very solid morning activity for this, Prat on the reride always a plus. Out of character, for me, possible sequence inclusion may be the Laoban colt. Ill-fated sire won the Jim Dandy as a maiden, wouldn't breed, Winstar gave him a "vitamin" injection, horse died, lawsuits pending. Smallish, 8k yearling is a race horse. As of now 70% single, 20% two deep, 10% J Rod on the reride. Not a sexy selection in the sequence though winning the sequence the objective. bbb
