Title: Good luck to anyone still alive in Belmont Pick 6
Post by: mjellish on June 11, 2008, 03:12:21 PM

I just got busted out.

Going to take a flyer on Koufax Curve at 15-1 here in the 7th, but I\'m probably on tilt.

Alot of people busted out in the 6th.. Even the massive BRIS Pool ($50k ticket) busted out on that 22-1 shot.

Was playing 2,4/2,7/7,8,11/3,9/5,8,9,10/10

A shot at 5 of 6? LOL doubt it.

Hopefully you\'ve got a box big enough for a few hundred thousand in losing tickets.Keep a nice journal and your 08 tax refund should be the 2nd largest hit of a lifetime.

5 conso payoffs

Little over $1300 invested.  Nearly broke even so I guess I was swinging for free.

Could have been worse.

Congrats to anyone who had it.

Had the last 4 winners and didn\'t think to play a pick 4. But did hit the 6th race trifecta.

That\'s better than Twinspires group who put in 50k.  Nice work

Any insights into why you chose that one in the sixth he busted me in my Pick 6 also..Used two of them in that one, did not see the replay, did he get loose on the lead?

Willsboro Point paired 11\'s in his last 2, which put him in range figure wise with this bunch, and his Thoro Pattern said 68% chance to pair and 14 % chance for a new top.

Once I got knocked out of the P6 and then any shot at the consolation 5, I boxed the 5 horses I used on my P6 ticket: the 1,2,3,4 and 6. I tossed the 7,8,10 and 11 (the only other horses I feared) only because of post position.

BTW, I never thought I\'d see the day when Prado would stiff a horse (4th race), but 22 and change and 45 and change on the lead at a mile as the lone speed.......come on...That\'s an old Cordero move.

And Desormeaux rated Motts horse (one of my 2 singles) into submission in the 5th race. So if it weren\'t for larceny, I\'d be a hundred grand richer today. :(
