Derby Trail Forums - Jan 20, Gulfstream

Figured I'd start my own thread, because if I put this in with Gus', it might get lost, now maybe it will just be ignored:)

Race 1: Probably should be a pass, none of these horses come in with good form, it's just a guess on who will run, my guess, #2 Hanky Pank or #4 Mr Retsof... #7 Balsero can be used at a price

Race 2: #2 Debussy, gets rail and first time Breen, fast to begin with; #7 Dancin Dusty, Walder starting to heat up

Race 3: #1 Historyofasaint, back to dirt, may run big...#6 Value Player, fastest coming in, solid.

Race 4: #1 Dream Rush, big favorite is much the fastest, unfortunately, the rest seem evenly matched, 2nd and third is wide open

Race 5: #1 Cup Fever ran well 1st start in FL, comes back quickly but should be OK, #12 Riggins has been off a year, 12 post & ML fav should be bet against.. use #1, #4,#8,#9,& #11

Race 6: Here is the question and possibly the bet of the day (depending on odds), #1 Sinkwich, 3 weeks off the extremely troubled trip, but tries the turf for the 1st time, if dirt form holds, is much the best.. but I'm looking for feedback here, how does everyone else handle first turf on a horse like this?

Race 7: this is the impossible maiden special that other threads have been built around... I'm not a first-time starter guy (not privy to any inside info:) ), all I know is the #12 Chief Talkeena is the fastest of those who have run

Race 8: #4 High Again doesn't stand out numerically, but if my memory is correct, this one may explode here...use with the #3, #8 and #9
Race 9: seems like a 4 horse race (#'s 1,3,5 &6) only value would be trying to beat Malibu Mint

Race 10: Bogey's 2 selections #6 and #9 look solid, but I'll throw in #4 Proclamation, I like the pattern, last was small backwards move, his numbers are very competive here

Good luck to all, as always
