The Play
I'm going to go deep in Race 8 (Saratoga Derby) and play all five horses I mentioned above. In Race 9 -- The Alabama, I'll use just two horses -- Swiss Skydiver and Spice Is Nice. You might consider "singling here" with Swiss Skydiver, but I'm adding Spice Is Nice because he is a closer. Race 10 I'll play all five of the horses listed above. In the final (Race 11) I'll get that security and go five deep with the ones I listed.
The Cost
$125 for the .50 cent play.
The Numbers
1,2,5,6,7
2,5
1,2,4,5,9
3,4,6,8,12
Good luck today!
