Kentucky Derby...and Beyond?

What a memory on you Shark. I looked back at my account and you're right, I did. If I remember correctly, I was tailing you on that (as usual) but on a whim I decided to box them. Looks like it paid about 73/1. Funny, that was a sloppy track too, like this year's Derby.

It's your turn to nail of these nice tris on a triple crown race bud. It's only right since I wouldn't have a chance if it wasn't for all your hard work that you share with all of us.

Is this the point where I can go into my yearly rant against the Preakness and the Pimlico track?

Cheers T. Not sure how I remembered that was you to be honest, although I did remember that most of you guys in this thread had a good day in that Preakness. Besides me, of course, since that was one of the many races where I screwed up when it came to bet structuring being the dummy I am. I might end up tailing how you decide to play this year to be honest.

It looks like Diamond King will skip the Peter Pan to run in the Preakness according to DRF. That's okay. The local horse used to be a good angle to play underneath in the Preakness back in the day, in addition to him looking quite playable at long odds based on the numbers I got.
 
I bet this #10 horse at Pimlico a few minutes ago when it was 5/1. Now I'll be lucky to get 2/1 it seems as they enter the gates.
 
Nice. The #10 gets the job done by a half length at just over 5/1 in the end.
 
I'll try the #7 horse here in race 7 at Belmont. Currently 3/1 with a couple minutes to post.
 
Going back to another #7 horse to W/P here in race 8 at Gulfstream. Currently 10/1.
 



This guy is 100% correct. That was no where near a dead heat. Malibu Stacey's nose couldn't be seen due to being obstructed by the winner. But if you saw the position of the eyes, ears, and everything else then it was clear that the outside horse finished ahead.

I think the stewards at Belmont screwed up in the race before that too even though I was on the winner. The horse I was on bumped and hounded the 2nd place finisher all throughout the stretch and moved it over by at least two or three paths. I thought for sure there'd be an inquiry at least if not an outright DQ of the winner. But nothing. They didn't even look at it.
 
Gonna go with the #3 Dujac here in race 2 at Evangeline Downs, and then play a #3, #6 exacta box as well. Both these horses are 8/1 currently, so it may pay stacks if it hits. Trying to beat the heavy favourite in this race (#2 who sits at 2/5 right now) who has that "suspicious drop in class" mentioned in the PP's. The 2nd choice (#7) is a regressive pattern horse after a big improvement last race and worth the play against as well
 
I'll take the #4 horse here in race 3 at Evangeline with it getting the drop in class from maiden special weight down to maiden claiming, which, if anybody wasn't aware, is the biggest class drop in horse racing. 4/1 on this one as they head to the gate.
 
4/1 as they enter the gate. 3/2 when they break. Fuck right off.
 
Dumb horse finished 2nd and I lose a total of 10 cents.
 
I'll be taking the #8 horse here in race 6 at Evangeline at 3/1 or better. The #2 is also playable as a backup option if the #8 is too low, although I'll probably need better than 4/1 on that one. They're 7/2 and 4/1 right now respectively with still over 15 minutes to post.
 
Didn't get my price on either (2/1 and 7/2), so a small exacta box it is.
 
1st and 3rd. The favourite split my two horses in 2nd.
 
Uh, apparently the #8 was the even money favourite in the end. The #2 was 6/1. That's ridiculous. They left the gates at 2/1 and 7/2.
 
I can't play this Evangeline track if the odds being offered up as they're in the gates are nothing like what their final odds look like in the end.
 
I'll try this #1 horse in race 6 at Charles Town. Have it ranked 3rd, but less than 3 points behind the top ranked horse (#4). Has the new pace top angle going for it, in addition to being an E2 horse. May also be lone speed depending on what the #8 horse does. Sitting at 4/1 now and they're about to head into the gates.
