Trip notes by Michael Hammersly for stakes races run on July 2-3.
DRF handicapper Brad Free outlines his strategy for playing the pick six on Monday's card at Santa Anita.
The fabulous 13-race Queen’s Plate card, with five stakes, offers a myriad of betting opportunities. The early pick four starts on race 4 and has a guaranteed pool of $200,000. The late pick four, with a $300,000 guarantee, encompasses the final four races and begins in race 10 with the $1 million Plate.
A wide-open renewal of the Grade 1 United Nations highlights the Independence Day card at Monmouth, but I’ll take a shot at the early Pick 4.
DRF handicapper Mary Rampellini outlines her strategy for a pick four on Sunday's program at Lone Star Park.

The highly regarded Conquest Enforcer bypassed the Queen's Plate with the notion that he's an exceptional turf miler, and will get to strut his stuff against a solid group of 3-year-olds in Sunday's $100,000 Charlie Barley Stakes at Woodbine.

I'm going with two singles, Southern Wild in the fifth race and Walking the Kitten in the ninth, on my proposed ticket for the Single Six jackpot on Saturday night's closing card at Churchill Downs.
