Last week 3 of my 8 picks won. 4 placed. 1 show. All 8 were in the money. I would have been thrilled with one more winner, but 3 out of 8 isn't that bad, I guess. Here's what I'm thinking for this weekend (remember, I handicap for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, but only my 1st pick counts for my contest):
Keeneland
8th - 2-Zagora, 4-Aruna, 3-Tapitsfly
9th - 5-Lonesome Street, 2-Right One, 3-Plutonium
10th - 3-Great Attack, 1-Perfect Officer, 9-Chamberlain Bridge
11th - 4-Hansen, 10-Howe Great, 3-Prospective
OakLawn
8th - 3-Izzy Rules, 5-Apriority, 6-Hamazing Destiny (Izzy Rules is the lone speed and best recent Beyer rating)
9th - 7-Drill, 2-Pee H Dee, 4-Explain
10th - 7-Yawanna Twist, 5-Hymn Book, 8-Ron the Greek (Nehro is in the race, also, but I don't think he's going to be fast enough this time)
11th - 11-Bodemeister, 5-Secret Circle, 10-Raconteur (I believe Bodemeister or Raconteur would make the Kentucky Derby with a win here. Secret Circle is already in)
Can anyone explain why Bob Baffert has made it a habit to enter two horses in the same race? I've noticed he's done that a few times this season. In the 11th at OakLawn he has both Bodemeister and Secret Circle. I wonder why he entered Secret Circle?
