Question Which of the "contenders" are you tossing?
Of the Derby horses that are contenders less than 10-1 on the morning line...which two will you not be using in any of your exotic plays?
For me it's - NoBiz Like Shobiz & Curlin

Curlin .... half this field will start making their moves near the mile mark...

Curlin, Hard Spun, and Scat will probably be on or near the lead as we approach the 1/8 pole... Curlin hasn't faced that before and will fold and be passed by the deep closers... see 7th place or worse for the m/l fav...

Curlin, If he doesn't win he won't be in the super. If he wins Oh well, I lose, there will be more races on Sunday.

I think this is the best way to handle this horse. Good point.

I'm tossing Sedgefield, Curlin, Storm in May (sorry B-Dub), Imawildandcrazyguy, Teuflesberg, Stormello, Dominican and Great Hunter so far. (Unless Steve says otherwise... I value his opinion highly.)

The only horses that will get a spot on my exacta and tri tickets are Curlin, Circular Quay, Scat Daddy, Hard Spun, and Nobiz. I won't play a single other horse. Street Sense and Any Given Saturday both have no shot in my opinion. Saturday, they will pay the price for the Tampa race.

KG has never been known for his tosses. I give him credit for taking the stand to toss logical horses but after tossing Saint Liam and Invasor in back to back Classics I take the rest with a grain of salt.
