The Japanese trainers are really trying to win this

I heard they are selling $13 domestic beers and $22 mixed drinks.

They’re winning ….not yall.

Rodriguez is scratched. He was a big part of my bets. Probably the best muddier in the field.
Now we get Baeza who should run well.

Love horse racing but know little about it. How do you even start knowing who to bet on?

The Derby is crazy to bet on and isn’t your typical betting scenario.

For beginners I tell them to bet the jockey rather than the horse. Typically the best jockeys get the best mounts.

I have been having a little fun with friends. I have a mint garden. Normally by this time I have 15 feet of four types of mint exploding.
Right now I'm not sure if I have enough mint to make a decent Julip.

Not that it really matters, I have to work Saturday. And I don't like Bourbon.
I would make a ceremonial Julip, have a couple sips and dump the rest.

No one can properly handicap a 20 horse race, especially now that they are going to be running in the mud. If you think you can you're kidding yourself.
If you want to go place a wager for fun take your favorite horse and bet it to show. If it's 10-1 or better you will usually at least double your money.

true
unless you get a super horse like
Flightline - American Pharoah - Secretariat
this race doesn't have that
Breeders Cup days are impossible also
$ to be made on the undercard races though

I’ve picked the loser in the last 42 derbies!

Hope to get down to make a bet

I think Lucas has one running

Kinda quit watching on tv, it’s more about the hats now

I am going on the 1 & 7
Along with a 6 horse 10 cent Superfecta box
That’s a $30 wager that could pay in the thousands

Straight up hillsides to answer your pm. Anyone that is going and doesn’t wind up in Marion Co didn’t have a “derby” experience

Also I will say that these muddy derby’s always favor the best horse. Rarely will you see one where a fast out of gate or strong finisher wins. Not saying it won’t happen or hasn’t, just usually the best horse slugs through.


I really think this is the most honest live action sport you can bet on, not getting into shady stuff before gates open. Bet on who can prevent your horse from winning

Cheers
Happy racing

I miss going to Oakland Park when I coached there. Had some great memories and bad from trying to handicap back then.
