Here's the Equibase picks:

#1 - Star Hill (12) 6-1
#2 - Cherry Wine (2) 5-2
#3 - Cocked and Loaded (6) 30-1

The logic of picking Star Hill (12) has to do with the speed figure, the trainer's entries post at the distance and surface favors the horse. Cherry Wine has a high average speed as well. at 8.5 furlongs distance will obviously be a factor too. Cocked and Loaded has "overall good stats" but...ehhh...take it with a grain of salt.

Here's the PP:

Indiana Grand R9

#1 - Discreet Lover 20-1
#2 - Cherry Wine 5-2
#3 - Pilot House 10-1
#4 - Takeittotheedge 15-1
#5 - The Player 6-1
#6 - Cocked and Loaded 30-1
#7 - Seeking Blame 15-1
#8 - Whateverybodywants 12-1
#9 - Torrontes 20-1
#10 - Call the Colonel 20-1
#11 - Cupid 3-1
#12 - Star Hill 6-1

I've heard good things about Star Hill other than just Equibase.

isn't cupid's position kind of unfavorable though?

i'm going back and forth on star hill and the player but if you're sure that closers don't do well here, i can lean toward the latter.

think cocked and loaded can show? 5-11-6?

broke even with the WP bet on the player. i should've put an exacta on 11-5 because it was looking that way but couldn't pull the trigger. i've learned that this is a game of could've/would've/should've already. no big deal.

did you box 5-11 or did you go exacta 5-11? or did you go 11-5?

Cool. I'm sure there will be more action upcoming that hopefully i can take advantage of.
