THE PLAY:: 

It is opening week at Churchill, so I'm going to take a bit of a conservative approach on wagering until I can get a feel on how the track is playing. 

I'll probably do .50 trifectas on my top four picks in all five stakes races. There is a Pick 5 that starts in Race 7, but I'll pass -- no obvious "singles" that stand out to lessen that kind of wager. 


Good luck!
