Pick for Saturday, September 16, 2023:

Pocahontas Stakes
1 Mile | Fillies | 2 Year Olds | G3 STAKES | PURSE: $300,000

Track: Churchill Downs
Race: 7

Horse: V V's Dream (ML 5-2)

Field (in post position order):


1. Empire Island (ML 5-1)
2. Peignoir (ML 20-1)
3. Riperton (ML 12-1)
4. Raining Sugar (ML 20-1)
5. Regal Rumor (ML 12-1)
6. V V's Dream (ML 5-2)
7. Youalmosthadme (ML 2-1)
8. Courbe (ML 10-1)
9. Hot Beach (ML 7-2)


Bet V V's Dream (ML 5-2) to win and place.

Yes, that is right: WIN/PLACE.

V V's Dream (ML 5-2) will WIN the Pocahontas Stakes.

So put a lot of money on V V's Dream to WIN/PLACE to make it worthwhile and justified going to the racetrack.

V V's Dream's final odd will most likely be right around 2/1 or even lower (in my opinion).

Take that easy money 5/2 (or at any price) and leave the racetrack as a winner.

BONUS: Also play exacta (straight - no boxing): V V's Dream (ML 5-2) over Youalmosthadme (ML 2-1).

This is the easiest exacta money you'll ever going to get on the card at Churchill Downs or at any other racetracks on this Saturday September 16, 2023.

This might not be as good of an exacta as I would've liked because of the fact that the exacta contains two very heavy favorites (albeit in reverse).

This should be somewhat of a good exacta payoff as V V's Dream (ML 5-2) is the second choice in the field full of capable runners.

Again, you might need to put some considerable amount of money for the WIN/PLACE bet on V V's Dream to make it worthwhile and justified going to the racetrack.

Take this easy money 5/2 (or at any price) and leave the racetrack as a winner.
