Magna 5 anyone?

Anyone playing the Magna 5 this weekend. Looks like a pretty easy ticketthis weekend, if you can take a stand in the first leg (which is either a single or an all, in my mind), which my poor ass will have to do. Usually when I think it's an easy one I get ripped apart, but you never know in this game.

Anyways here's my ticket

8 w/ 2,7 w/ 4,6 w/ 2,7,10 w/ 2,7

I should really just bet $48 bucks on the 8 to win in the first leg, but we'll see.

After looking at Jim Kachulis' picks is it just me or is he smoking crack when he handicaps?

I'm still waiting for the top 2 pick 5...another day with lots of 2nds. I should have just thrown everything on Cryptoquip

Ascot,

I think thats as good as my idea for a three horse bet, but only two of three have to finish in the top 3....

Tough to beat a mediocre Ohio bred in Open company even if she is trained by Motion. Cryptoquip is a very tough take, and you were wise not to bet all you had on her. SHe was outrun, and just got lucky, certainly not the best horse in the race.

I know, but the end result was better than what 2 wins and 3 2nds got me. That field was mediocre but I had to take a stand on one of them, I felt pretty confident about the rest of my ticket, even though it was small. So I was pretty much basing my whole ticket on a horse that I didn't love but thought was the best of a bad bunch.

It was a very mediocre bunch. I think she ran a mid 70 for that effort and she was well beaten. It was a horrible call by the stewards to put her up.

I saw her at Beulah on Best Of Ohio Day and wasnt impressed then, eventhough she ran off the screen.

Motion has done a good job spotting her
