Some value there dooks
My tip for the cup is Sanagas.....Get on it

[mightytiges]

Despite the weight will go with Dunaden and usually also put some on the lightweight in the Cup so that's Kelinni especially with Boss riding.

I had about 40 $1 trifectas and best is 1st and 3rd.

Had a feeling it was gonna be like this with
all other races winning through outsiders

[Dubstep Dookie]

Ended up breaking even (just). 

Oh well there's always next year
