Kentucky Derby...and Beyond?

There's a couple of scratches in the 8th race at Belmont, including Limousine Liberal, which now means I've adjusted Westwood to a 37.6% chance and 9/5 fair odds. I really did not want any scratches in this race, though, as the percentage is just based on the numbers. I actually liked him a little more than that when visualizing how the race may play out (love his potential positional advantage in it) and thought about taking a shot by keying him in exactas and tris. I could still do that I suppose (#6 over #4, #8), but the return won't be nearly as much now.

i can get westwood at 5/1 is that worth a punt?
 
I'll be playing those two exactas in race 8 at Belmont as well for $5 each. #6 over #4, #8.
 
Westwood went full retard there. Unbelievable.
 
Bah #3 ruined everything on race #8 in belmont friday. Granted #6 completely shit the bed...had he come in 4th I'd be extremely tilted

You went with an exacta box I assume? I needed the #6 to win only, so I was screwed when he started taking a right instead of a left on the turn.
 
Just playing the two races tomorrow on the Belmont card. In fact my bets are already in since there is a chance that I'm also going to be missing these live.

==========

- #7 Tenfold to win for $20
- #7 Tenfold, #4 Hofburg, and #4 Vino Rosso in a $5 exacta box ($30 total)

How likable is Hoppertunity? Had every excuse to quit during the stretch when bumped & blocked, and yet still digs down to get another G2 win. As an old 7 year-old.

Bring your own Triple Crown home, T. Hopefully the only one we see today (for my $ake). Best of luck.
 
I'll be shocked if World of Trouble isn't the clear favourite coming up next in the Woody Stephens. If he isn't the favourite by post time I may have to play him. The 7/2 he is right now is quite playable if it stands.
 
Yeah, I'll pass. World of Trouble is the favourite now, and based on the will pays he'll remain so. Should be a fun race, though, with a lot of fast horses.
