Easy Money In Today’s Crappy Maiden Claimer

Another afternoon of racing at Churchill is upon us, and we’re still waiting to see if the $104,000 Pick Six carryover from Monday was hit.
Here at Oddjack, we like our PowerBall jackpots, our MegaMillions tickets, and asking the girl behind the counter at the gas station for a few of those scratch-offs with our six-pack of Schlitz. So far be it from us to ignore what could very well be a massive carryover to Thursday’s card. Thanks to The Daily Racing Form and their awfully nifty Formulator 4 software, even hack handicappers like us can take a crack at immortality.
Picks you say? We’re keeping our longshots close to the vest. But here’s who The Form likes in each race on the Pick Six card on Thursday:
FIFTH: Finnbar’s Promise, Dr. Double O, Bahia Cabana(In the ninth, “Fifth Edition” is listed on one handicapper’s card as the best bet of the day, and “Chilly Carson” in the tenth is listed on another as the same. )
SIXTH: Western Ocala, She’s A Brick House, October Optimist
SEVENTH: Way Fleeter, Arcana, Miss Misfit
EIGHTH: War Boy, Shoo Brush, Steamboat Express
NINTH: Prize Story, Fifth Edition, Saturday Deelites
TENTH: Chilly Carson, Will’s Wonder, Da Mullet
We here at Oddjack don’t mind sharing our genius from time to time, and since we’re not interested in giving up the true location of the Grail or our little workaround that makes the Unified Theory check out, we’ll share a little of our handicapping prowess instead.
Besides possibly being Philly street slang for the wad of soiled five spots from a motel quickie, Room Revenue is an interesting horse in Churchill’s fifth race. He got soundly smoked two back by a horse named Northern Stag, who has since been bounding up the rungs in Kentucky racing. No shame in that loss, even if it was by 25. So long as Stag didn’t tear out his heart on the way by in the stretch, Room Revenue is a good play at what’s likely to be a good price.
By the way, if by some freak chance Room Revenue doesn’t happen to hit the money, just tell your bookie you don’t have to pay up. Give him the Oddjack business card that says “Give This Man Anything He Wants” and you’ll be fine.Trust me. He’ll understand.
