I have a soft spot for Ultra Brat so I will pry throw $20 on her and be sorely disappointed haha.

Gulp. She’ll have to beat :5: (who won it last year) & :6: who both have somewhat good outings on the soft stuff. I think the :8: will be the favorite again(she was the fav last year) , but I still couldn’t pick her with only firm turf on her resume.

The :6: looks interesting to me with Irad aboard and 2nd off a long rest, if her value holds.

Good luck though and thanks for playing.
:p

My pick is :5: Switzerland who won his last three in open competition and one was on the slop. None of last year’s first 5 finishers are back. :9: looks vulnerable coming off a statebred.

R8: :9: Soutache
R11: :11: Smiling Causeway


Prefer the :11: more, but that turf course is a bog. Stakes level horses just ran 5F on that mire in the following fractions:


:23.56
:50.02
1:03.81


5F. On turf. For a $100K Stakes purse. :puke:


Assuming that race will likely not be on the turf tomorrow.

Nice! A tough handicapping puzzle that you nailed. Of those 18 starters I listed, only two won, I got the other one. :cool: In the other four races, the favorite won.


But I guess we ought to have our head examined for even looking at that card. With that weather, the track and all of those scratches. That's the first time I hit the pick5, pick4, pick3, DD and still lost money.

I was giving you a hard time, just some friendly banter. It's hard to take much credit for the selection as horrible as the conditions were, and considering I tried to beat the chalk all day it was a pretty miserable day for me. Oh well, onto the Belmont!
