Trying very hard to make a case against Rachel for the win but I can't.

I will play large exactas 6 over the 1/3.Much smaller reversed.

Note the #1 race lines in races that he lost.Checked early,checked
top of the stretch.If he doesn't scratch he should get a nice clear
shot with a small field.Use

This race appears to show that Munnings will go to the lead with Rachel Alexandra sitting comfortably behind him waiting until his stride shortens in the stretch and she assumes command. Even Bunker Hill good be with those two at least down the backstrech. That might be the case here, but there are a couple of sharp horses in here that might go off at prices, so I'm looking to play an exotic.

Trifecta Box: #1/#4/#5/#6

#1 Duke Of Mischief/#4 Munnings/#5 Atomic Rain/#6 Rachel Alexandra

Good luck everyone!
