Weird Derby
« on: May 06, 2006, 06:58:26 PM »
I watched dozens of old derbies all month and never saw one like this one and don\'t remember one in last 25 years.

At those odds, Barbaro was a toss for me in win position.  I did like BC second but had him with LR, BD and AP.

I may make  a stand against CAL horses at CD from now on.  Sure I will lose a few derbies but I think CAL horses struggle with CD.  

I\'ve already forgotten this year\'s loss and will concentrate in future years on spreading big time in exotics to protect for those crazy scenarios.

Your right. But You have to form a partnership because it is so expensive to hit the superfecta because of the first time  mile and a quarter and 20 horse field. I figure it was about 3-4k for me to come up with this one. Too many horses to put behind that had a shot.

If the times are correct, we\'re looking at a triple crown winner. He runs close to a blistering pace. third quarter in 24.8. Fourth quarter in 26.1. Last quarter in 24.3 while drawing away.

That says that Prado was just sitting cool on a ton of horse. He could have left the behind on the turn if he wanted....he was coasting through the 4th quarter
