Missed 85k P-6 by a head today
Today was a killer for me at Belmont. I guess it's clear that I like to play Pick-6 carryovers. Belmont had one today, resulting in a 778k P-6 pool. I blew it when one of my picks lost the 9th race by a head. What's really amazing about this was that I only played a $96 ticket. Can't complain though - had the conso, the 6th and 10th to win, and the 10th exacta 5x. A good day rather than a great one.
The reason I'm posting is that, once again, TE was a big factor, not only in winning but in helping to cut down the size of the bet. Three winners were TE -1, 2 winners TE-2. Unfortunately, the race I blew was won by a horse with no previous lines at the distance (although he was a wiseguy pick). This is the reason I think taking down this bet is well within the capabilities of many of the excellent handicappers who post here, but would not ordinarily play this bet. For those who feel doubtful, I'd just try doing this card without first looking at the results. The money is waiting for you.
Cheers,
B Jennet
