Thanks Jerry. I realized after I posted you were referring to SJ. WHen I first read it, I thought you were referring to somebody in THIS YEAR's Derby.
I empathize with your Preakness pick 4. I had similar problem with Derby pick-4. I threw out Azeri and singled Pat Day on somebody in the 7 furlong Derby day race. I had $15 pick fours live to 5 horses in the Derby. Lionheart, The Cliff's Edge, Pollard's Vision, Tapit and Read the Footnotes. Paid $2000 with Smarty, the logical winner. Paid over 4 times parlay....
To make it worse, wife called me at Meadowlands 2 minutes before Derby and said "I hope you bet this Smarty Jones, he can't lose. Everybody on TV says he will love the wet track"
Had to hear for weeks how stupid I am. Redboarding on this board can be annoying, having your wife redboard you is beyond that.........
The punch line is that if I had been using your figures for a little while before the Derby, I would have had to use Smarty going 5 deep. I didn't believe your figures for him, having relied on Beyer figures for 20 years or so......
Oh well.
