Seems like that is the direction to go in. Should be able to spread well for four bits in the P5 and same for $1 P4 and maybe goof around with anything left?

I'm ready to put it in at anytime. Down below I'm just diddling my own stuff while I await the word.

Will Edit as I go......

Race 8

I'm inclined to stand against Baffert here based soley on the layoff and thinking maybe this one needs a race. I like two here, China and Safety Check. China gets positve pilot change and hasn't done much wrong last 3 on dirt at 6F and last work suggests horse is fit. Safety Check has run two pretty good races at the deep Big Sandy main and might take to this track pretty well.

Race 9

Goes without saying that Shared Account has to be used, but I really think CC Brown has a very live runner here in Desert Sage. The two races here were impressively run, in my opinion. The last race she closed well to a very slow pace and drew away. Tough to ignore.

Race 10

Colizeo would be my top pick here, otherwise I defer a bit on this race. I don't see anything wrong with the last 4 races. Looks to be fit and ready.

Race 11

If Paddy isn't a single here, I don't know who would be. But if others find someone who can win if Paddy stumbles....ill defer again.

Race 12

I think this you can make a case for several here. I'm going for a new shooter. Pletcher's Dance City looks like a new face that could pop at a number. Broke maiden at two turns, effort in the Arkansas Derby puts this one in the mix as far as I'm concerned. Mucho Macho Man appeared to have caught his stride too late in the Derby and almost caught place. If this one improves a bit, could also pop at a decent number. I realize this sounds insane, but I am going to use Shackleford as well. I don't expect him to be included in the group's effort as I don't think anyone will agree. I think his performance in the Derby has been incorretly interpreted by many. I don't believe he got the "ideal" trip for him. I think he allowed others to be too close to the pace by running a tad slow early on. I think this race will give him an opportunity to rate and if he can he's also got a shot at a big price. He seems to be in great from and has shown improvement over last two. I know it's likely nuts, but Ill be using him.

I took a consensus and came up with a bet for the Race 5 Pick 4: 4-11/1-4-5/1/1-5-7-8

It $24 for a buck.

Time to poop or surrender the pot to the dancing fat guy.

We have Race 4 P3 action at a buck a shot in two wagers. We go with the fave and try to catch value later on and we sharpshoot early and hope we land on something. This is also a consensus wager from what the team has left on the board.

P3: 4/2-4-8-11/1-4-5

P3: 4-6-7/2-4/4-5

Date Time Track Race Stake Pool Selections Debit Credit
May 21 12:04 PM Pimlico 4 1.00 P3 (PWHL) 4, 6, 7 / 2, 4 / 4, 5 $12.00
May 21 12:04 PM Pimlico 4 1.00 P3 (PWHL) 4 / 2, 4, 8, 11 / 1, 4, 5 $12.00

We have $212 left in the kick.
