I did, and now I'm crushed. I put $200 on him in the futures a half hour b/f the Florida Derby. Thought my ticket was gold at 19/1. Hate the future wager, screws me every time.

1.) Cali Chrome
2.) Ring Weekend
3.) Cairo Prince
4.) Wicked Strong
5.) Danza

ouch

Yeah, I had Indian Charlie at 150/1 in the future book. I think I've played it once since, Cliquot.

Oh yeah, one other time I had Congaree at 125/1. Last derby future for me

The ones you listed are all legit prices. Constitution at 19-1 is a really bad bet IMO.
A lot of peeps are gonna save money with him not running.

Constitution out, Danza in.
Hoppertunity??

Hopper will be in all my tris and supers....Other than that....still debating....

You may have the Superfecta there

Bobby's Kitten???
Not running in the derby.
Wicked "stout" isn't either as far as I know.

I just bottled a Milk Stout that should be a Wicked Stout

Vicars In Trouble...I'm sticking with him even though I think 1 1/4 mi. is too far for him.

Cairo prince
Sammrat
Bayern
Candy Boy
Danza

At this point, it seems unlikely that Bayern will make it in as he sits 26th in points with only 20. There are several ahead of him and only one, Midnight Hawk, seems likely to drop out because he is running today in the Illinois Derby. If he does, Uncle Sigh is the next on the list.

I've been burned before falling in love with those coming out of Fairgrounds preps.

I can already feel my wallet getting warm.

Sucks that Court won't be onboard ROC.

why not....The honoring the synthetic era superfecta! good riddance.

I agree. Clearly a cut above what's left.

With Constitution and Cairo Prince out. Hopefully I don't have to make any more changes.

1.) Cali Chrome
2.) Ring Weekend
3.) Medal Count
4.) Wicked Strong
5.) Danza

Please, Please let California Chrome have dazzling dapples and brilliant workouts.

1) Chrome
2) Chitu
3) Danza
4) Samraat
5) General A-Rod

It won't matter b/c he isn't getting a work over Churchill. A gallop or so, and if they look nice it could spring some more chatter. I think that bandwagon is plenty full already. I put him as #1 because it's only logical. He's the horse to beat or play against, and play against I will.

Wont they all have dazzling dapples???

I agree. He is beating me and so is Untapable. Ill drop a lot of cash if these races chalk out.

This is a constant weakness for me too.

Hard not to like the fastest horse, but with so many need the lead types in the race, it's beginning to look like a "wicked strong" pace might set up for the race? :eek::D

calif. Chrome should laugh at these.

Hoppertunity
Cal. Chrome
Dance with Fate
Intense Holiday
Wicked Strong

that's my concern, that the pace will be too hot. but i'm thinking he might well lay off. i don't think he has to have the lead, but he does need to break well.
i'll wait til pp's are drawn before i really get down to who will get played. still too soon to make a final decision.

may well end up setting up perfectly for wicked strong.

Chrome breaks a step slow. I'm sure the 2 riders next to him will close that hole and he could get freight trained. He might also be Point Given and would need a real hatchet job to lose, a la Gary Stevens on the Point

With Chitu now out...revised.

1) Chrome
2) Danza
3) Samraat
4) Wicked Strong
5) General A-Rod

Good point, CC and Espinoza will have 19 other jockeys keeping their eyes on them. Race riding is a given if he doesn't break on top.
