I only play the sires pool this early. I look at sires that have certain breeding and also look for value. While its not always like this but a friend of mine wanted to play Jack Christopher in the pool but I pointed out to him that Jack is sitting at 9-1 and the sire Munnings is sitting at 17-1. I look for these types of differences in odds that my include a horse I like going forward. I don't like Jack Christopher myself but if I did my money would be on the sire at twice the odds with the added benefit of having any other horse by that sire that might show up down the road. I spent $6 and boxed the 4,5 and 24 in the sire pool exacta. That is my play for pool #1.
