Hey guys, I know its been a while! I have had some illnesses and college related things and have had so little time to write! BUT IM BAAAAACCCCK. This weekend is jam packed with some awesome races, so this post is about my picks. No I will not be gambling, but I will be making pretend bets, and watching the races unfold on my laptop screen. So lets begin...
The Haskell
For my "imaginary exacta box" I put Shackleford, Astrology, and Ruler on Ice. Trifecta : Shackleford , Astrology, Ruler on Ice. I picked Shackleford to win because he is a gutsy little horse with a huge heart, he ran well in the Triple Crown series, and he was given the chance to rest at Winstar Farm. The distance should also suit him.I also like Astrology and Ruler on Ice because they also ran well in the Triple Crown races and should enjoy the pace set by Shackleford. But because the favorite has yet to win a race this year I will also pick another trifecta - Coil, Shackleford, and Ruler on Ice. I like Coil's odds, and his trainer Bob Baffert seems confident he can run well. Coil is a son of Point Given, who upset Smarty Jones, and also includes Thunder Gulch so he should run well if he is anything like his sire and gransire. I also like Pants on Fire, mainly based on his last win. Astrology also is another one to look at because he is out of the sire AP Indy.
so what are my picks?
trifecta 1- 5, 8, 6
Trifecta 2- 1, 5, 6
Longshots- 3, and 4
