Took a glance at the races and got the impression that with all the C-Notes races and the ABC classification system being dumped after this card, there could be some bombs hitting the board.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Here's my choices with a few bombs that could hit the board...

Race 1  #6 w/1-3
Race 2  #9 w/2-4
Race 3  #8 w/7-1  Bomber: #3
Race 4  #5 w/1-10
Race 5  #3 w/7-1
Race 6  #8 w/2-6
Race 7  #7 w/6-10 Bomber #5
Race 8  #4 w/7-9
Race 9  #2 w/3-7

Race#4 #2 Relentless G now scratched

I only used 9/2, 8/1 and 10/1 ml on my ticket in the fourth. I leave 5/2 off the ticket completely.
The 9/2 opens up 4/5 and the 5/2 opens 9/1.
Am I sharp or is this going to turn out to be a real bad morning line?

Do I get post time favorite in the pk5? Please don't make me email DZ for the answer.

Yes you get the post time fav no conso for the pick 5

Voice of Truth running in on Dial or No Dial mid-stretch really hurt.  Killed the p4 value via dead heat instead of winning outright.  Disappointed that all winning combos of the p4 pay the same.

Race 1  #6 w/1-3

Race 8  #4 w/7-9
Race 9  #2 w/3-7
Race 10 #6 w/3-9  Bomber #1
Race 11 #7 w/1-6
Race 12 #1 w/4-6  Bomber #3 
Race 13 #2 w/7-5  Bomber #6 

Nice calls on the bombers.  3 of 5 hit the board.

Thanks CC.

Would have been a ridiculously huge night if Bullet Bob had won. I remembered what you had said about Voice of Truth a couple of weeks ago and decided late to use him underneath.

Hope you cashed some nice ones, MM!

I was really surprised with the ML and board odds on Voice of Truth. If you compare his lines to others last week, he ran quite well. He just ran into a buzzsaw in his race. Callahan had to check him slightly to straighten him out, which cost him the race last night.

I loved your McAttaboy pick in R12. I didn't cap it until 1 MTP and I orginally like the 8 at a price until I realized that Pierce chose McAttaboy over the 8. Too bad he couldn't get up. Would've had a $10 double and $20 win.

Simons in R13 really helped the hi5 payout. Almost thought he was going by Yannick into the final turn.

I was talking to ChicagoJazz the other day about supers and hi5 strategy. Those "autotosses" are toss outs to finish 1-2, but they can certainly finish 3-4-5 because they are usually raced conservatively. They end up passing some of the aggressively handled favs that get tired. Wish I would've used Callahan in Friday's finale at 145-1. Inside trip, slow track, finished 3rd, fueled a big hi5 payout.
