The Acorn looks wide open and I was likely to include seven in this leg. That makes things expensive quickly. Right now I am looking at singling TMB, four in the Manhattan and five in the Belmont. $140.

I agree that the Acorn is wide open but I do like Adieu, 2nd off for Pletcher after a bad trip last time out still scoring a 96 Beyer. If she gets home she is going to crush your payout.

I was swept away in the Smarty Jones mania in 2004 and spent $15 on a $5 pick-4 that was live heading into the Belmont. When I watched the only G1 winner in the race other than Smarty win(don't say his name please) and that including him would have made me $17k richer I vowed to never go short in pick-4s again.

Oh man, you didn't have the capital on hand? This would have been a pretty cheap hedge.

What I may do is double up the bet by going short in the Manhatten with an extra ticket.

Not a bad idea 2,4,8 is all you need there.
