My picks.
« on: May 04, 2013, 04:46:26 PM »
NI and IMLD are my two keys.. Verr, Orb obvious uses.

I moved a couple horses up that I hadn\'t planned on using today.  Mylute, Palace Malice and Overanalyze and hopefully they can hit the board with them.  I\'m jealous of those who got 35-1 on Mylute at the books.  I fell asleep on him.  

I\'m very down on Goldencents and practically left him off all my tickets.  Krigger might be the worst jockey in this field.  He\'s not very good IMO and can only hurt that horses chances in a field like this.  But I wasn\'t on I\'ll Have Another last year, so take it for what it\'s worth.

If Vyjack had drawn better (inside 15) he would have made a major push into my keys.  I like him to run a top today but he\'ll have to settle for a minor useage from that spot.

If either NI or IMLD win or atleast finish 2nd, I should be happy.  If they both hit the board, I\'ll be doing cartwheels.  It\'s all a big crapshoot any hoot.   Take the value and hope for the best is the only advice I can give on the Derby.


Good luck everybody.

I\'m sticking with what I think is the best pattern. Normandy Invasion over Orb/Verrazano/Overanalyze/Javas War over Frac & Revolutionary. Good Luck to all.

I made 2 plays, 1 is very similar to yours, but I added Vyjack and the other is based on the 3 Wood horses with IMLD and MyLute added. Exactas all. Oh yeah, I also have the Wise Dan - Falling Sky Double.

Orb is as cool as eskimo ice in the paddock now. GP figures have been stronge and holding from Fla Derby Day. Willl be in the outer tighter part of the Track. Hot aggressive rider. All In!!!

One part handicapping, two parts sentiment ... Shug and Orb.

]Rosaro leaned on the Stall Wall like he might fall asleep. Shug kept the horse tucked in the stall until it was riders up. No choking going on here. They knew they had the BOMB and kept him parked under the tarp when the time was right! Yes!!!

He was most impressive. He was wide all the way and notice that the next 4 were (not in order) the 2, 3, 4, 5 so it seems like he was disadvantaged. Loved the ride too.

He ran great.

Thought oxbow ran great for 5th.  He had to be used the entire race never got a breather.   Kid moved early on the Chad Brown but was never beating Orb.  Could have saved an in the money finish.
