Keen Ice

Since KI will be maybe 30-1 I don\'t think that gives you too much of an edge. Does that rule apply only to the Classic, and if so, why?

He should be that high because he\'s too slow. May be lower than you think as this year\'s likely wise guy horse.

Yes, that\'s a rule I use for the BC Classic only. Doesn\'t apply for me for the turf. In the dirt mile, it\'s not in stone but I still prefer the younger ones.

A 5yo with superior numbers in the Classic will be overhyped and is not going to provide any value anyway. Besides,they already are what they are so I\'ll look for a 3yo (or 4yo)moving in the right direction. Case in point was Will Take Charge over Mucho Macho Man. I got beat but I\'ll take that kind of scenario and value every time in that race.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

I do not mean to belittle anyone\'s accomplishments, and I haven\'t played a Pick 6 this century, but 6K seems like a large investment to this minnow.

Hey JB could you host a contest? Each entrant gets a mythical 6K to play into the Saturday edition of the BC P6. I will donate the Grand Prize: Free LIFETIME Admission to Saratoga TG seminars. Second prize: A copy of the biography of Uncle Bill Spillane currently being developed by Fairmount and Frank D. Working title: Dead Weight: Remembrances of an Oversized Exercise Rider.

Contest, if JB agrees to host it, will be played by the Marquis de Crist rules, meaning the minimum wager will be $2. In the event of multiple winners, the player who hits Six with the smallest investment gets bragging rights.

And to tie some threads together, Bucchero is much more likely to be on my prospective contest ticket than Keen Ice.

Looks like we\'ll never know the answer to this riddle--Keen Ice retired today after minor injury training for BC...
