He cost me also.
I would have been alive to a $2 Pick 4 and P3 with Lucky and a $3 P4 and P3 with first dude.
Only 2 I used in the Dixie.... ran 2nd and 3rd.
Oh well, I don't know how anyone can use Strike the Deal there off a 9 month layoff.

All is well that ends well....I had a $30 Exacta in the Preakness.

First Dude. Had Lucky keyed over 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th place finishers in the tri. I was sure he'd fade in the stretch. If I would have added a couple more, he still wouldn't have been on my ticket.

I was wrong about Lookin at Lucky and I'll be waiting to bet against him in three weeks if he surfaces.

On the plus side; First Dude - was ready to completely throw him out....until Fly Down won the Withers last week & because Steve B. was so high on him, looked at his PP's and figured he'd be near or on the lead. Never thought he be that high in price though!

On the negative side; Schoolyard Dreams - thought he'd run better than he did, but I guess he's a notch below these "class wise".

I dont want to toot my own horn here, or maybe I do but I was actually wrong about nothing. I just want to post a few quotes I made before the race.

Seems like every other horse was just spinning their wheels, except Ice Box who in my opinion should of won the race. He also won his only stakes victory over the same surface months back(horse for the course). Now we have a track where the surface will be a 180 from what he just ran on and a fast track that he has yet to win on this year. The horse is a gamer and has only been out of the money once in seven starts but the talk of him winning "by daylight" and in a "walkover" like most people on here are saying is nonsense. Nice horse but not a world beater by far and will be exposed in this race."
EXPOSED!!!!

"The best bet is Jackson Bend at +105(prop bet against Dublin)" Easy Money

"LAL is by far the most talented horse in the race and it finally comes together for him." Most Talented By Far

"LAL wins by daylight!!!" Well this might be the only thing I was wrong about but not off that far lol

"Although I never like Cali horses coming east and racing on dirt, I believe after his race in the derby and almost being put over the rail, not get totally discouraged and making a run at the end, Looking at Lucky will trump this field with a decent post and finally a clean race."

Not tryin to be a wise guy but I was right on the money and hitting the Triple made my day yesterday!!

You truly are the king of kings...

But seriously, fine work! I remember the original post because I was thinking the same thing about Super Saver. I couldn't get the Tampa Bay Derby out of my head. I left off Super Saver and had Lookin At Lucky, but unfortunately, I grossly overestimated Paddy O'Prado and Dublin yesterday and completely underestimated Jackson Bend and First Dude. So, I made no money.

I put Lucky & Saver over First Dude and Aikenite.

I think I'm ready to accept that Aikenite is better around one turn.
