Paynter/Illinois Derby

One of my favorite horses, going from maiden winner to GII Illinois Derby...

Not to be smart, but how can you have a favorite horse after just one race?  You must have a ton of favorite horses!  I hope you are on to something on an inside track to the KY Derby with huge odds in vegas pools.  I will keep a watch out & want all horseplayers to crush any race.

Hi Marlin,

I play the horses every weekend and I am a regular TG customer, I had selected 3 horses on ThoroTrack after the maiden debut based just on the visual impression (Zo Impressive, Old Time Jockey and Shared Property), two of them won the next time and the other one at the second try.  This is a difficult game, i think there are are o lot of opportunities if you have discipline.  I never play the favorites and like to find vulnerable favorites on dirt routes which pedigree is key.

The Kentucky Derby is a very nice race, I follow the KD prospects just for fun.  Obviously I like Gemologist, Union Rags and Creative Cause.

If you watch the Paynter debut video, it was a very easy win and something was bothering the horse at the stretch and shake his head, then drew off...

Regards,

Jose

Also Najjaar is a nice horse which will be racing in the Rebel Stakes...

Thanks for the explanation of your initial post.  Please understand I did not mean any disrespect.  Good Luck today & love your passion for the sport.

Hoping for lots of speed and the race falling apart for Najjaar to close.  At GP race 7, #8 looks tough to beat, using Font for second.  other Barclay in 9th, Parting Words, definitely ready, but will have to navigate slow start from rail.

Thank you Marlin and good luck.  I am woking on my selection for the Rebel Stakes and I will try with Najjaar.
