The Derby Formula

[Kingfisher]

Bet any horse with a first or second name that starts with L,I, or J. Unless the track comes up wet, in which case you eliminate any horse with a reference to water in its name.

Hit the super with this method.

Better than Dosage.

That is truly the best system I have ever heard of.I\'ll try it.

Hey Kingfisher, aren\'t you the guy that bet Sham in the 1973 Derby? I got your formula......right here

Derby Day 1973. That was my first day at the races. (Thoroughbred, anyway-  can\'t really count Lebanon Raceway as real horse racing). Literally a month of Derby Days since then. But while I did bet Sham, I did learn the value of a pre-derby regression in the Wood. I wonder what Big Red\'s TG numbers were in the Gotham, Wood, and Derby.  And BTW, let\'s not forget that Sham also broke 2:00 for the Derby race, though finishing second. I always hear how Monarchos is the only other horse to break the 2:00 barrier, but that is not really accurate.

And at least I still have a souvenir of the race (albeit a losing ticket).

Old Mr. B. (need to be careful on this board with a handle like that). Haven\'t heard that name in a while.  Better go get some coffee.

L  I   J   I would have put J first since my name starts with J

Any gimmicks on the preakness


Like how many entries does it take to score a coup - ZITO?


I am sticking to the pick 4 for my longshot money

Race 9 - 2, 10
Race 10 - 2, 1
Race 11 - 3, 4
Race 12 - 7, 6

I like the pairs running together any other tips besides talking to the PREACHERATTHEBAR!
