Those horses were grouped in preference brackets. It wasn't six, it was two, two and two in preference order. I did modify that on late pace evaluation. I discounted High Limit.

The perfecta paid the equivalent of 75-1, I had four horses in second though not equally weighted. In the end, discounting High Limit on pace and Closing Argument on win or bounce out.

The Trifecta was over 400-1. It really wasnt that hard. But maybe I really didn't hit it.

Still I got lucky. Alex could have died and taken his jockey with him.

I think its time to show you again 666 where you will never be. The Preakness stats are about as good and a little less in the Belmont, but its the Derby where the rubber meets the road. By Preakness and Belmont everyone is getting an idea.
