With ADWs shut out from the Churchill signal thanks to an ongoing dispute between the track and the horsemen, the only way for me to bet tomorrow's big card is the cross the Mississippi river and bet at Southland Greyhound Park. I love the card and I look forward to watching the races on HRTV but I doubt I place any bets. I'm still hurting from my Belmont Stakes blood letting and the nuisance of placing bets will ensure that I go dark tomorrow.
So here are some pretend wagers.
Pick 6Race 6: 5 Hysterical Lady is a solid single.
Race 7: A wide open race. I'll use both favorites, 3 Zee Zee and 4 Pure Clan, with two longshots, 1 C J's Leelee and 6 Magical Theater.
Race 8: 2 Pyro takes his first step to regaining control of the 3yo division (so maybe that is a stretch but he'll beat this field).
Race 9: Spread with emphasis on 3 Wicked Style, 6 Old Man Buck, and 7 Bobby Blue Eyes.
Race 10: Curlin looks like a he should win this on a walkover but he is a furlong short of his best distance and is giving up a ton weight. I'll use 2 Delightful Kiss and 9 Barcola on a few tickets.
Race 11: 3 Dreaming of Anna is a cinch.

Update:
A chalkfest. 5-4-2-4-1-3 Pick 6 that paid $48 for 6 of 6 and $2.80 for 5 of 6. The dollar Pick 4 paid $34.50. Good thing I didn't bet the card.
