Vinnie Ralph's NTRA Pick 4 - 9/19/2004
We're pleased to offer you our multi-ticket play for this weekend's NTRA Pick 4, consisting of the Grade II Belmont Futurity, the Grade I Matron, the Grade I Atto Mile and the Grade I Ruffian. Post time for Leg 1, the Belmont Futurity, is 4:13pm eastern.
Below you will find our featured multi-ticket Pick 4 strategy on the NTRA Pick 4. Our strategy for the Pick 4 is to emphasize our "key" horses by using them on all of our tickets, while allowing for the possibility of one of our longer priced "backup" horses to light up the board. We use our backup horses for each race just once, on separate tickets. The advantages of using a multiple ticket strategy rather than putting all of our horses on a single ticket can be boiled down to one thing....COST. This is especially crucial when the lower paying Pick 3's and Pick 4's come in. Our key / backup approach helps us keep our investment as low as possible while still allowing for a substantial upside if one of our longshots comes in.
As always, we suggest waiting until late scratches are announced before making your wagers. Just one or two scratches, especially among our "key" horses (those that appear more than once on our tickets) can dramatically reduce the cost of the play. Here we go...................
