Two longshots in the late pick five yesterday at Arlington triggered a massive carryover to today's card - massive to the tune of more than $375,000. It'sa 50-cent base and with so much "free" money you kind of have to try to get involved. Sequence is race 4 through race 8. Race 4 post time scheduled for 3:09 Central.

I'm putting in $250 worth of tickets, and here's what they'll look like. 

Race 4
A: 4 
B: 1 
C: 3 
Going narrow to start the sequence and my day could be done early. That said Dona Spey (#4) was just prepping for this route in a last-start turf sprint. Note she faced males two back, ran a winning type race three back. The jock you don't recognize is a S American near-legend. 

Race 5
A: 1,3,7,8
B: 2,5
C: 4
You can see how I feel about this older maiden - spread. 

Race 6
A: 1,3
B: 7
C: None
Don't like the race at all but can't spread everywhere at this handle level. Hoping Dancing Waves (#3) sits the trip just behind the speed as she's raised positively off the claim. Worry about Quinn Murphy (#1) producing her LS form at AP.

Race 7
A: 1,3,8
B: 9
C: 7
Another conditioned claimer on turf open to a wide variety of interpretation

Race 8
A: 1,8
B: 3
C: 5,6,9
Giving Speed Devil (#8) one more chance. Showed plenty of talent at 2, hasn't gotten a fair run yet this year. Prairie Chick (#1) could fall into a great trip and is good enough to do something with it.
