To me Halfway to Heaven looks pretty tough with 3 Gr. 1's including one at 10f this year. Ran third to Zarkava at 41-1 earlier this spring, has improved since then. Appears to be a stalker/close to pace runner which i think this turf course favors. She's my pick, unless of course i hear Together Forever by Rick Astley tomorrow on the drive over to Santa Anita, then i'll take Forever Together on a hunch bet.

Hello
I’m kind of reaching on a few of these, but here are my top picks for each race.
I will be playing pick three’s and some other exotics and will be using these horses in conjunction with others (including Curlin).
Gallant Son is a sentimental pick (even though I think he has a real shot). Back in the late 60’s and early 70’s the father of Gallant Son’s trainer, Frank Lucarelli, had a horse (Neutralizer) that was trained by the same trainer I was using at the time, and Frank and his brother, just little guys at the time, were often hanging around the backstretch taking it all in. Now, Frank has grown up to be a very good trainer, and I am going to do my best to root Gallant Son home.
Filly and Mare Sprint: #3 Intagaroo
Juvenile Fillies Turf: #6 Freedom Song
Juvenile Fillies: #4 Sky Diva
Filly & Mare Turf: #8 Halfway To Heaven
Ladies Classic: #1 Zenyatta
Marathon: #8 Cedar Mountain
Turf Sprint: #10 California Flag
Dirt Mile: #5 Two Step Salsa
Mile: #5 Daytona
Juvenile: #2 Gallant Son
Juvenile Turf: #8 Paddy the Pro
BC Sprint: #1 Cost of Freedom
BC Turf: #9 Conduit
Classic: #8 Raven’s Pass

Hi bdw
I agree that Fatal Bullet is in top form right now, and I will be using him in the exotics. I leaned toward Cost of Freedom because of his undefeated Oak Tree record, and his 5 wins in 5 starts at the distance. A horses for courses play.

Well Zenyatta did it. I am thinking the word "great" might be in order for this filly. She was my lone single of the day in the pick 6 (probably on most tickets). I'm still alive for 5 of 6 to Black Mamba and Valbenny (blown out of the pick 6 in the 6th race).

Well I had nice win bets on Conduit and Raven's Pass, plus a $20 exacta hit on the last race (boxed Curlin, Raven's Pass and Henrythenavigator) so I came out ahead for the day. Hats off to Curlin and his connections for bringing the horse back this year, and having the guts to run him today. Great sportsmanship.
