Player Quick Pick: SunRay Pick 4s for 6/17/2014

It's the last Tuesday of the SunRay Park and Casino meet, meaning it's the last chance for us to hit the TwinSpires-sponsored Pick 4s!

The pools are each guaranteed at $3k for today, so let's get to handicapping!

note: these are the horses I would use in each Pick 4 sequence by program number - not necessarily in preference order
