War Pass made a statement in the BC! Will we get "Back to Back" BC Juvy winners to be in winner's circle the 1st Saturday in May?

Zito has even said that this one has TC distance limitations. He's a hell of a speedball though, that's for sure. Back him up to a mile and he looks unbeatable, so far.

who on earth would bet on the Kentucky Derby with still over 6 months to go? No wonder these casinos make tons of money.

If you can get 100-1 or better on a horse you really like, it's worth a shot. But there is no doubt that the Kentucky Derby Future Wager offered by Churchill Downs will feature more than one terrible wagering opportunity that the public will run to the windows to take advantage of.

I can see why someone might toss $100 around, like 4 $25 wagers, could be the best $100 you have ever spent from a juice perspective starting from about January until the first saturday in May.

Depends... by far my most satisfying win ever (and close to most profitable) was Smarty Jones at 150-1 in January when I KNEW he was the best 3YO in America. The casinos learned a lot from that though (by all accounts, they took a beating on him winning)... horses that would normally be 100-1 or 150-1 after an impressive win are now 50-1 or less.

It isn't something you place your stake on but for 1/2 or a normal win bet, it's an entertaining proposition.

This Saturday will be exactly 6 months from Derby 2008. I like these odds and why not take a chance.

War Pass sure was impressive and I believe he will remain sound. I personally think we could be looking at greatness at mile or shorter.

I'll take Blackberry Road, the half brother to Vindication at 250-1 is definitely worth a stab. Carrol has a good one with a bright future.

He's got 6 months to figure it out. I'm not sure why he scratched from last week's Iroquois.

A friend of mine and I like to spend about $50 each, just for fun, on Future's bets in VEgas, knowing full well we probably won't win. It is fun picking one and seeing if they make it to the field in May.
This year we took Paint, Cave's Valley and Wicked Style (all at 125-1 or higher). It's pointless to take anything shorter than 75-1 at this point.

And speaking of 2-yos, did anyone see the Empire Maker baby debut for Frankel on Sunday at Churchill Downs? Turn Away was his name I think, and he looked great.

Lemon, Turn Away is a filly and she did make an auspicious debut for Frankel.
