I don't have much time to do as big a write up as I did last year, but those picks weren't worth a damn anyway. I'm trying to go against the favorite in the top spot in most instances.

Juvenile Fillies
------------------
1. Original Spin - Should have a good pace to close into.
2. Wild Fit
3. Along the Sea
4. Folklore

Juvenile
----------
1. Sorcerer's Stone - Another who should get a good trip behind an expected strong pace. Plus Guidry seems to excel with closer types.
2. Stevie Wonderboy
3. First Samurai
4. Stream Cat

F & M Turf
-------------
1. Wonder Again - Probably ran best race of year in last. Loves soft ground.
2. Karen's Caper
3. Film Maker
4. Ouija Board

Sprint
--------
1. Lost in the Fog - Many people seem to want to beat him here. This field is suspect if you ask me. Gate to wire.
2. Lion Tamer
3. Battle Won
4. Elusive Jazz

Mile
-----
1. Gorella - Just taking a stab here. May improve in second straight US start.
2. Leriodesanimaux
3. Artie Schiller
4. Singletary

Distaff
---------
1. Society Selection - Should get a good pace setup, and hopefully a good ride/trip.
2. Pleasant Home
3. Stellar Jayne
4. Ashado

Turf
------
1. Fourty Niners Son - Will probably be the highest price of several contenders in here. Improving.
2. Better Talk Now
3. Shakespeare
4. Bago

Classic
----------
1. Oratorio - Taking a shot that he'll like the dirt. Several good races at this distance.
2. Saint Liam
3. Borrego
4. Sir Shackleton

Best Bet: Wonder Again
Best Longshot/Value: Society Selection

At least I'll be able to watch my picks go down in person this year. See you at the track. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

0 for 8, but ended up a good bit ahead thanks to the Pleasant Home - Society Selection exacta, and the 2 pre BC races.

Would have done much better if someone told me to box my picks in each races superfecta (Distaff $20,300).
