I tend to pick my horses about 5 mins before the "off" based on pace/speed/trainer angles and current odds/value ... I'll start posting my plays here just to keep track of them.
First .. Charles Town - R1 - #2 - Cherokee Ribbon @ 8-1 could be anything - but at that price this one does not have to be anything special to take this race ... has been running over MUCH shorter distance - I think step up will suit him.
