That said, I broke from tradition and decided to put some money on the field this weekend. It was 5/1 when I bet and ended at 4/1. But I feel unimpressed with a lot of these horses, already have Simplification at 43/1, and think there is a chance the Lukas filly or one of the Baffert horses gets in (under another trainer) so I kind of liked that bet. I’ll probably regret it but it wasn’t a huge bet.

I bet $25 on Venti Valentine in the Oaks at 15-1. I'm skeptical that Echo Zulu even makes the race. If Venti Valentine wins the Gazelle, she's probably half (or less) than the 15-1 I bet her at.

I also bet $15 on In Due Time in the Derby. He would need to really improve, but I don't think much separates him and the best in Florida, so why not?

I've lost $40 in much worse ways if neither make the gate
