Im still high on Bourbon War to turn for home like an out of control freight train with a drunkard conductor if he gets 46-47 half to close into. I'm even high on Code of Honor, who looked all but done on Saturday heading into the stretch yet he never wilted. I hope to see 10-1 or better on both of those in May.

yup those are the main two horses to not sleep on, and i think we will get better than that. I like Code of Honor a bit better since he already proved he can win.

I'll be surprised if either goes off at less than 10-1.

Last-race-performance dominates my own capping, and I was pretty impressed with the 1st two finishers in the FL Derby. Yes, the winner had an easy setup, but we're talking a 7-length margin back to CodeOfHonor and BourbonWar. The top two finishers have as much and probably more room to improve than the competition.

I told my horseplaying friends the day of the race my handicapping theory. I didn't spend a week analyzing. I looked that morning and saw in two seconds there was no speed. And when you add dominant lone speed that is a golden opportunity and I slayed the race.

Take it easy on him. I remember what it was like the first time I correctly handicapped a race. Exciting times.
