I am not sure that I can single Battleground, so let’s take a second try at the pick 5
Trying to have a $200 budget:
Race 6 – maybe cannot go so deep against Golden Pal, let’s try just the O’Brien and the two Asmussens, add Saez for another speed
14, 3, 4, 5, 8
Race 7 – still Battleground, but let’s add another Euro and the best American, and even add the Donegal horse for fun
9, 5, 6, 3
Race 8
Will take two shots against Princess Noor
2, 5, 7
Race 9 – Still love Campanelle, but will add two closers, and a Tiznow stretching out
10, 3, 8, 11
Race 10 – The big plan is to single Reinvestment Risk on my main ticket, and then play a smaller ticket to my longshot idea Calibrate. I will trust that Seth Klarmen has been pointing for this race all along. He is a great long-term investor, let’s believe he did not want to try out sprinting Jackie’s Warrior.
Calibrate is still my favorite long shot with the Dynaformer in the pedigree, and I still want just a small part of Todd’s Frosted
3 4 5 8 14 / 3 5 6 9 / 2 5 7 / 3 8 10 11 / 3 = $120. – main ticket
3 4 5 14/ 5 6 9 / 2 5 7 / 3 8 10 / 14 = $54 – a smaller ticket to Calibrate
14/ 3 5 6 9/ 2 5 7 / 3 8 10 11 / 4 = $24 – and even a smaller ticket to Likeable
