The Fleur De Lis, Foster, and Regret

Three excellent graded stakes races comprise the last pick three at Churchill Downs on Saturday. The Grade 2 Fleur De Lis, the Grade 1 Stephen Foster, and the Grade 3 Regret are well worth a look and after examining each of the races, there will be a Pick Three play as well.

CD Race 9- The Fleur Di Lis- I am going to go five deep in this opening leg of the final pick three. I think the likely winner is #9 Kiss With A Twist, who ran 2nd in a Grade 3 at Arlington last time out on May 23. In her last six, she won three and made the money in the other three. I will also include #2 Distinctive Dixie, #3 Miss Isella, #6 Temple Street, and #8 Swift Temper in the overall pick three play.

CD Race 10- The Stephen Foster- I think it is entirely possible that #3 Einstein could get beat on Saturday. However, for the sake of the pick three situation, I am going to single him here since each of those horses I can see topping him have flaws. Also, I intend to go five-deep in the last leg also, so you have to save somewhere and why not do that with maybe the best horse in training right now.

CD Race 11- The Regret- Another five-deep escapade here, but I kind of have a hunch with Calvin Borel aboard #5 Banker's Choice. To be truthful, I am disappointed in the 9-2 morning line, I really thought I would get a better price on a horse that has not won a race since last October. However, we will press ahead and also use #1 Excelente, #2 The Best Day Ever, #9 Keertana, and #10 Prytania in the pick three Saturday.

So, for those of you scoring at home, here is the pick three play on the last three races at Churchill Downs on Saturday:

$1 PK3: 2-3-6-8-9 with 3 with 1-2-5-9-10
TOTAL- $25
