Wet Track For The Derby

[Port Conway Lane]

Well if it isn't difficult enough the track may come up wet. Since I had no strong opinions to begin with I'll spin the wheel and put the filters on off track.

Using itm and sloppy as criteria I get Storm In May,Street Sense,Hard Spun, and Teuflesberg. UGLY ! Most of the field hasn't had an opportunity in the slop so I'll minimize this wager

$1 ex 7,8/4,7,8,10 $6 total

I like the Mr. Prospector line in tail male for sloppy going. Sedgefield,Curlin,,Cowtown Cat,Street Sense,Circular Quay, Any Given Saturday and Dominican. That's a little better !

Again to minimize this bet
$1 ex 2,7,16/1,2,6,7,16,18,19 $18 total

For Mr. Prospector on the dam's side there is Scat Daddy,Stormello and Great Hunter. I'll box them for $1. $6 total

While I'm thinking about it I haven't heard too much talk this year about the RAN Curse. I suppose Barbaro took care of that last year. In addition to the three horses above Hard Spun and Sam P fit the bill. Box 'em for $2 total

Now that I've covered 13 of 20 horses who do I really think will win tomorrow ?

Curlin
Nobiz
Street Sense

The derby is truly a crapshoot and I'm playing it that way !!
Good luck to all and a safe trip home for horse and rider.
