Analysis:

Race 10: This is the first of two Breeders Crown nights (Friday/Saturday) and the races in the late Pick-4 are contentious. (6) B Yoyo is my top pick here but I’m also using classy veteran (5) Market Share.

Race 11: (8) Dupree is my top pick but hasn’t been on his best game this year, so I’m also including (2) Jimmy William.

Race 12: (9) Keystone Thomas is my top pick and the one to catch but I’m using all four of my listed contenders in this wide open trot — 2, 4, 6, 9.

Race 13: This is another very tough race. I’m using all four of my listed contenders — 3, 4, 7, 8.
