OT Experts - Kentucky Derby

Who you got?

at this moment in time, I'm leaning these 3 in this order:

1. Epicenter
2. Taiba
3. White Abarrio

1 5 7 box exacta, box trifecta

field over 1 3 and reverse 1 3 over field


track is gonna be super muddy, turf soggy n soft, take that into consideration.

the favorite is not going to run better than 4th historically in those conditions.

do some 2 horse box exactas for 2-5 bucks, 5 only costs 10 to box and longshot returns usually pay well.


missed betting on pat day way back when I lived in co. and he was on a horse in the field and something like 15 or 20-1, next 2 in line were also in the same long shot odds.

the one time I didn't bet one of my favorite jockeys.

I was off some. lol


With Arazi sent off at 9-10 odds, Lil E. Tee was 16-1 and returned $35.60 to win, the best payoff for a Derby winner since Ferdinand’s $37.40 in 1986 and the 10th best Derby price ever.

The $2 exacta on Lil E. Tee and Casual Lies paid $854.40.

Classic Causeway

1. Zandon
2. White Abarrio
3. Cyberknife

If Epicenter was in the middle or outside that would be my # 1.

wish we could bet online in Tx.

gonna be at fork so won't even be watching it.

I’m going in person. I can’t wait. Haven’t decided on my bets though.

it is a blast
Louisville is cooking this week
have fun

we were building Thunder Run at Kentucky Kingdom during Derby week
also watched the Grateful Dead from on top of the ride

my neighbor figured out how to do it from his desk top computer
it is an account
not an app

I used to live in Louisville. It’s a terrible place, but I won’t mind visiting for two days for the derby. It’s been on my bucket list.

i thought you did
i had fun there

Don’t do [censored] til butch and Scagnetti tell you to do it.

Inside tip.
Put Barber Road in your pics. That horse had a bad trip every race at Oaklawn this meet and always came closing at the end. He even sprung a front shoe in the Arkansas Derby. The mile and 1/4 race will be his distance.

We can put a man on the moon but we can’t fix a horse’s foot?

Speaking of the Kentucky Derby, my appointment in Talco this morning was with a thoroughbred trainer from Brazil that trained at Del Mar and just moved here from San Diego two days ago. Oh and he isn’t listed as trainer but said he trained 2000 KD winner, Fusaichi Pegasus.

Will he be ok with the giant field
That’s a good trifecta pick
4 horse box

Horses? Are there horses? I thought this was about hats and bourbon.

Pat day either beat you or paid $.20.

Does the winning horse know that it won?

Does the second horse know it's the first looser?

Pat was a killer

100%

Rain is supposed to stop by early morning in Louisville.

With the big field I'm gonna fades some of the favorites and exacta wheel.

#12
over #3,#15,#1,# 6

Ex Box
12, 15, 3

Like those picks Ted
Hope they show up tomorrow!

BigBob… wanna help me out here?

wow
every few years this happens
you need a full day of handicapping
to cover all the exotics
to hit this score

i don't think any of us saw this coming

Still hard to believe this happened

The jock had a perfect trip

Magnificent animals

There will be rule changes on scratch horses before next year.

The winning horse was a jerk. Did you see how he acted after the race?

Saw a guy cash out at the betting window for 8 grand plus. Said his strategy was to put $100 on all the long shots.

Best horse race I've ever seen. Watch the replay if you missed the race. Even if you don't watch or care anything about horse racing, you will be amazed watching the Jockey weave in and out through a dozen horses from 4th to last when he got to the marker or last turn before the back stretch. Rich Strike got into the Derby 30 minutes before the deadline because of a scratch (dropped out) of another horse. Rich Strike was 84-1 odds. 2nd longest odds in the Derby's history.




Probably more money spent on treating hoof issues a year than it took to put a man on the moon.

Yea, he was jacked up and wanted no part of that Pony Horse. The rider that was supposed to Pony him should have given up right away and let the Jockey ride him out again. He is lucky he didn't get a finger Bit off when he was taking hold go Rich Strike's bit.

Screwed up a perfectly good exact bet.

yes they should have let him run a little bit
he knew he won the race & was amped up

how come?

thats a good strategy
when it happens

That's how little boy horses be. It amazes me everytime one actually acts right. Even my old geldings spend most of their time biting each other and acting stupid

The bird’s eye view of Rich Strike making its move from seemingly a mile back is awesome to watch.

Yup, he could have got squeezed out. The stars all lined up for him.

The announcer never saw it. Great race to watch.

It was like the Red Sea parted.

He was behind 17 horses heading into the far turn and behind 14 horses as they entered the stretch. He wove his way through a 20-horse field and ran up the rail like you’d see in a movie.

The red sea parting is a good way to describe what happened

I went there for the Catfish Conference. Nice place to visit. But if you want to visit the casino over the river in Indiana, have a good GPS and keep your doors locked until you arrive at your destination.
