Apparently, there's some kind of wacked-out ten-cent Pick 7 covering all these races, with $100,000 guaranteed payout. Just for fun we thought we'd multiply out our probable winners: 8x7x6x10x4x8x7.
At a dime full coverage would cost $7,526. You'd still have a chance of a chaos race blowing up your ticket.
Anyway, the ticket would be $7500 over our budget... so we'll see you in the win pool.
GP Four, The Express (longshot)
We don't even grade #9 Cover Price, the darling of the morning line. Yep, he destroyed his last opponents even after breaking in the air. But they were a bunch of nobodies, and today he's up against somebody. He does better on "off tracks" and so if the weather turns wet, we give him a massive upgrade. In any event, nobody is worth a short price against a field of this quality.
- 1 (D) 10/1
- 2 (D) 10/1
- 3 (C) 7/1
- 4 (D) 10/1
- 5 (B) 6/1 Win 2.10
- 6 (A) 9/2
- 8 (D) 10/1
- 10 (B) 6/1
GP Five, The Iron Horse (longshot)
#2 He's Spectacular is the morning fave. Neither he, nor any other entrant, is worth 3/1.
- 1 (C) 8/1
- 2 (C) 8/1
- 4 (D) 10/1
- 6 (D) 10/1
- 7 (B) 7/1
- 9 (D) 10/1
- 13 (A) 9/2 Win 3.90
GP Six, The Rapid Transit (normal)
This is the least competitive of the CC races, because many runners just don't have much of a chance to score. Our "A" horse, #7 Peb Hughes, stands atop Brisnet's ranking in many ways, and carries morning odds of 6/1. Which we'd take in a flash.
- 2 (C) 6/1
- 5 (D) 10/1
- 7 (A) 7/2
- 8 (B) 9/2
- 11 (D) 10/1
- 13 (D) 13/1 Win 2.70
GP Seven, The Glass Slipper (longshot)
This one is gloriously competitive. It ranks right up there with a Breeder's Cup race. No, not in the quality of the runners, but in the fact that so many are truly capable of winning. Our "A" horse is 7/1 !
- 2 (D)15/1
- 3 (C) 11/1
- 5 (B) 8/1
- 6 (D) 15/1 Win 5.10
- 7 (B) 8/1
- 8 (B) 8/1
- 9 (B) 8/1
- 11 (A) 7/1
- 12 (B) 8/1
- 13 (C) 11/1
GP Eight, The Tiara turf (normal)
Normally, turf races are in longshot territory, but in this one, many horses get a grade of U for Unlikely.
- 2 (A) 3/1
- 7 (C) 5/1 Win 6.70
- 9 (D) 8/1
- 14 (A) 3/1
GP Nine, The Emerald Turf (longshot)
Another fantastically competitive race. The morning line and Brisnet have both focused on #5 King David. This recent Maker claimee hates to lose, but 4/1 is too cheap against these.
- 1 (A) 6/1 Win 2.40
- 2 (C) 9/1
- 3 (B) 7/1
- 5 (A) 6/1
- 8 (C) 9/1
- 9 (C) 9/1
- 10 (D) 14/1
- 13 (D) 14/1
GP Ten, The Jewel (longshot)
Ferociously competitive. The speed demon, #11 Trade, has wired many a weak field at a mile, but this is a strong field with another furlong tacked on. Trade doesn't even get a grade from us, and gets 12/1 on the line.
- 1 (A) 5/1
- 2 (C) 9/1
- 3 (D) 12/1
- 5 (A) 5/1
- 6 (C) 9/1
- 8 (D) 12/1
- 10 (B) 7/1
- Won by ungraded #4, 16.20
