I strongly disagree.

You know it is an exciting race when only two days out the sub-headline is still "Tomcito out".

I'm thinking of playing something like this:

$5 tri

Big Brown
with
Denis of Cork, Anak Nakal
with
Denis of Cork, Anak Nakal, Casino Drive, Tale of Ekati

A healthy Big Brown kills this field.

disagree, it pays atleast 70 in that order.

[GBBob]

not that he worries, but does anyone think Dutrow is worried about breaking on the rail with a maiden to his right who could be a basket case by post time?

If that happens you will make nothing.

I think that order still paysd $70 for $2....... not for sure betting this, just throwing it out there to get opinions like this.

Come on. The tri in the Preakness with bb on top was 168 and change. Hardly nothing for a minimum investment.

Unless you are going to invest a lot of money, how are you getting any value payoffs with Big Brown on top?

If I play a Big Brown/Casino Drive/Icabad Crane straight triple for $40 and it comes in, I'll probably get back $700-$800. That's fine with me.

Did you see what the Preakness tri paid? $300 something for $2. I hated Gayego in that race and played BB w/ Macho Again and KY Bear w/ ALL - only costed $20 for every $1. There's nothing wrong with conceding the race to Big Brown and playing against the second favorite underneath if he looks vulnerable and you're of the opinion that some big priced horses can run 2nd and/or 3rd.

I plan on using Big Brown and Denis of Cork in the PK4 which I think will pay pretty well even if BB wins.

I'll also play TRIs

Big Brown w/ DofC w/ Da'Tara, Anak Nakal, Macho Again, and Ready's Echo.

If I play them each for $25 I'm probably looking at $1500+.

I think you're better off trying to beat Casino Drive and embracing Big Brown. He'll be the bigger underlay in my opinion because everyone loves the Better Than Honour thing - but everyone keeps forgetting that the horse is completely unproven, only has two races, etc. The only horse that can beat Big Brown is Denis because if something takes out Big Brown (pace) it will also probably compromise Casino Drive and set up for a closer.
