    My pick6 selections for Churchill and Hollywood

    Ok guys, I would like to share my pick6 selections with you. But first of all, let me tell you that I'm not a professional, I probably don't even have ONE winner on my tickets. I just love playing the Pick 6 because of the possible return. To this day, I still haven't hit the pick6. So, PLEASE don't tail my picks, cuz I don't want any one to lose their money because of me. So here they are:

    Churchill:
    Race 5: 12-7-8
    Race 6: 5-8
    Race 7: 11-9-5
    Race 8: 3
    Race 9: 1-7
    Race 10: 5-6

    this ticket is saved in my Xpressbet account, it costs $144. I want to eliminate one more horse in the 5th or the 7th race, so that my ticket is less than $100 (which is my limit on Pick 6 tickets).

    Hollywood Park:
    Race 3: 2-9
    Race 4: 7-8
    Race 5: 9
    Race 6: 5-9
    Race 7: 4
    Race 8: 3-10

    this ticket is also saved in my account, it only costs $32. So thinking about adding one horse in Race 5 or Race 7.

    Would like to see other people's picks, cuz I know you guys are much better than me in picking the winners.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think you have to use the 5 in race 3, I might even single that horse.

    Race 5 looks open to me but the 3 could go gate to wire

    The 5 is out in the 6th which is huge since he was gonna be the favorite. Gallant Gent (#6) in that race has been facing much better and is a price.

    I agree the 4 is a single in the 7th but the 3 could run big, seems to be the up-and-comer

    8th is tough you gotta use 1,2,3,10 I think - the 1 is the speed and a price


    Best of Luck

    Thanks for your input. Def will look into it. Since one of my selection was scratch, now I can add a few more.

    I like it too, but I did not single it the pick 5. I also like the 4- All in Love as my long shot. Thanks for your input.

    BTW, what is that link you posted, is that your site, and do you post your plays there. If so, I will definitely bookmark on my computer. Thanks again.

    the reason is that I play the pick 6 when there is a big carryover. I know my bankroll is small, but I just absolutely love the big carryovers. Like I said, I'm not a professional and I don't play all the time. With a little luck, who knows? Maybe it will be my turn.....

    good luck on your p-6 ventures.they're hard to hit.i would like to suggest that you wager doubles and p-3's along with your p-6 wager,betting an amount on each to try to get your total investment back to you.if you can get 3 winners in a row in your p-6 ticket,you should get back double or higher your total investment,especially if you lay out $100.00 or more.if your investing a smaller amount,say $32.00,this backup plan may not apply.
    good luck on your next stab,and,i do mean stab.

    Sutherland's horse ruined my Pick 6; even looking at it now theres no way I would have used him but Hammersley picked him to win, not sure how.
