Let's see - you're probably keying on Tiz; I'm probably keying on Tiz; the guy down the street who likes to talk about racing when I get my morning paper and he walks his dog is probably keying on Tiz. How in the world does one ever get value if the entire world is betting the same way?

Unless you take a contrarian approach, don't see that the win or exacta pools will offer any value, despite the 18 horse field. Perhaps the tri pool won't be pounded quite as heavily because there are so many more mathematical possibilities.

I read on DRF that he may be the biggest fave since Arazi. Course I think he's done way more to prove himself than Arazi ever did. Been a long time since Arazi, but as I recall, his claim to fame was winning the BC Juvenile. I think they said he went off at 1-9.

You are right though, he will be a huge favorite and yes myself and the rest of the racing public will be picking him, but as we've seen fairly regularly this year, unexpected things happen. Might be a contrarian's dream. Cruzan and Miz Ruffian and Roamin will likely not be picking him and they may prove to be right.

It may turn out to be a losing proposition, but I can't recall too many times that the race was a bust for the bettors and I doubt that it will turn out that way this year, but this is a year of firsts, so who knows?

Anybody having “Time Travel” flashbacks thanking it’s really May

We are so used to having the Derby running
On the first Saturday in May all these years and decades

I find myself thinking tomorrow is May 5th
Wish It Were!
