I would have played today’s Pick 6 anyway (I’m in training!) but I played it a little more aggressively than normal. Usually I would single most of the races with one or two additional picks thrown in as a Pick 6 can get kinda pricey. Today I went with 2 picks for each race.

5th: #8 Peleliu & #3 Sew Slippery

6th: #7 Dragon Fi & #6 Pick Six

7th: #4 Strummer & #1 Acclimate

8th: #2 Stormy Kiss & #6 Trouble Maker

9th: #5 Calla Lily & #8 Miracle Moment

10th: #3 Melissa Jo & #7 Tarazine

I’ll add few more picks to my Pick 4 bets but for now I must turn my attention to a freshly delivered burrito.

As a follow up, Roi Maudit killed in the 3rd at Belmont, sitting just off the pace. He came 3 wide and and drew away in the stretch to win by 6! It took him 6 tries to break his maiden but it seems that he’s on his way now. Also interesting is that Johnny V rode him this time. The more I think about it the more I’d like to see another jock on the Monkey.
