There were several calls to be made here. Both the 1 & 6 are NTL types. I believed the 1 would get it.
# 1 comes off big win concern here is it lost a length in str and is at top end of %med range.
#5 off 54 days and runs too late.
#6 Off 180 days won't get lead and at top end of %med range
#7 won last lost 1 length str.
#8 no defects returns same level 01-1pl dist.
After review I left order in tack since top 3 would remain the same even if I switched them around
Almost forgot the results were 1[33.00] 7-6-5.

Also would like to point out that in the 1st 5 races my picks hit 3 p3s[66.25.268.00,568.50.] 1p4 818.75 & p5 3550.00. Because there were 2 2 yrold mdn races and p3s are a $1 I didn't look at these today.

Congratulations Tim. That seemed like a nice, even easy, Exacta hit. My readouts showed about the same order of things, even with a few different line selections.

Hitting Pick 4s and 5s including 3rd (and even 4th) ranked horses takes a bit of a bankroll and some knack for ticket structuring. I've done a bunch of that in the past, sometimes with happy results - something I'd like to try more of in 2023.

Good luck with all your wagers in 2023 and thanks for sharing your hits and wager structures!

Thanks Ted. If you don't have a good bankroll then imo you should not be playing p3s etc.
