A nice little pick 6 carry over at Saratoga. These days it has been extremely tough, but I figure there are a few keys that you can go with that at least gives you a shot at it.

Saratoga Race#5 Pick 6     Post time:  3:12pm eastern

Selections based on the races staying on the turf.

Race#5 The 8 has huge early pace and will try and steal it. The 10 has a few nice angles that is also a must use. The 4 is my longshot that can win if the pace comes back to her.

Race#6 This race is a perfect example of keying a horse when you have a small budget. I am keying the 5, had a troubled trip and may have won with a clean trip. Will be flying late and needed his first start. 10 is the other I could use put would double the ticket. There are so many unknowns in here that if you take three or four horses you may still not get it.

Race#7 Another key but less unknowns in here. The 4 is siting on a win. Has the figures as well. Should get a stalking trip and pounce late. Others to consider that I would use in my late pick 4 ticket would be the 1 and 8. Both have the figures to win it.

Race#8 I do not ever like taking the obvious horse but I am, simply on class and towers over the field if runs two back. The 7 will try and steal it, if need a saver.

Race#9 If the 10 clears, she wins. If 9,10 hook up early it set it up for the 3. Using both

Race#10 I think you only need the 1,10. My slight lean is to the 10. Should be closing late and has nice figures for this level. The 1 with the drop in class makes her a must use as well. I think a solid exacta box.

Here is my small ticket:   4,8,10/5/4/4/3,10/1,10       Cost: $24.00

Good luck
