Just a couple comments from a non-pro. Jarrod’s picks in the last leg are usually pretty good regardless of the race type, distance, class. I use them a lot. I don’t know that throwing more money at a ticket is ever going to be the answer because where do you draw the line? One of the most important things I consider is how often ML favorites actually win during any pick six sequence. Favorites may only win 1-2 or 3 or the six races. I’m sure some of you know that favorites loose like 70% of the time anyway so this isn’t a major discovery but I think favorites loose even more during the pick six sequence. Anyway, when I have made my selections for all six races, I go back and see how many of those selections are ML favs. If there is more than 3 or 4 favs in my picks, I go back and look again. Hard part is trying to determine when a favorite is a real single and when the runner is vulnerable.

Not hard and fast rules in the pick six. Certain races are spread events. Check Bris stats to see how favorites fare in different classes of races. It is never a bad idea to take stands, bet less, and have fun.

I have no problem singling later events, because if I am still alive in the latter stages, at least I am getting a run for my money.

Loved Snowmaster today and made a nice win/place bet on him.

I sure could have used Snowmaster in the 7th. I see on Brisnet that it was rated tops and alone for Current class. How come the rest of the field is rated N/A?

For Back speed it lists Mr. Hot Stuff and Snowmaster. The rest of the field is N/A. Why’s that?

For Prime power, Mr Hot Stuff and Snowmaster were 2nd and 3rd. Actually, I was using the form and rated Never and Snowmaster about the same, but Brisnet didn’t rate Never very highly.

I should have spent more on this one. I had Princess Suances and Burna Dette ( as in burn a debt:) in the first leg.

Next three races I singled with Gilligan, Sarabella Mia, and Warren’s Jitterbug.

I should have went heavier on the later legs. Instead, I singled Mr Hot Stuff in the 7th Race.

In the last race my horses were 3,4,5, and the 10 which won. But I singled the 5. My ticket was decided by Bejarano.

I know you’re supposed to spend more money on the six. Is there also a rule of thumb to spend more on certain sorts of races, or say on the late legs, etc.?
