And again, the 2 Chad debut runners (1/5) might get you through this leg, but the Mott pair (8/10) are viable (and value), while Shug’s Majestic March (10-1) and Barrera’s Pionus (20-1) are capable of blowing up the Picks. And of course Weaver offers 4x runner up Good Long Cry (7-2)..

Favored Nolo Contesto & Winter’s Ghost are obvious players, but they haven’t won a race that’s visible on the page. Potts pair (High Heat/Classic Mark) certainly make sense, but how about a Spin Doctors exacta of the 2 Princes?? Davis has seized a pair of wins on 8-1 Prince James and 30-1 (!) Prince of Joy goes turf/dirt while cutting back for low percentage Legall who happens to do well with both moves (25% & 18% respectively)..
