Race #1
Exacta Box: 2-5-6
#5 Russian Hand has never ran worse than a 55 beyer but is the layoff going to be a curse or a favor? Same with the other horse I’m going with, #6 Son of the North. We’ll either nail this one or end up somewhere in the middle.

#2) Cent T Mint
This horse is a double fig compared to the rest of the field. If you don’t know what a double fig is, you should definitely read an Andrew Beyer book sometime. As he puts it, ‘double figs’ are relatively safe bets although we all know nothing is a sure thing. Also, I’m sure Cent T Mint will go off as the surefire favorite so it’ll be tough to find value unless you’ve got the rest of the field down to play some exotics. Best of luck everyone!
