Different kettle of fish this year as other posters have pointed out.......Thursday means shorter fields and less tracks......rule changes mean more races to play on Thursday and Friday.......2 1/2 x bankroll gets you where you need to be.

ps......take a look at the track line-up for Wednesday's last chance on Jan 27

Who is in? Personally Im not a fan of the Thursday start as I loved the 2nd day being Sat and all the great racing that brings us. Let's one of us bring the title back to Derby trail as a tribute to our leader!

In X 2. I actually like the Thursday-Friday. IMO...smaller field sizes = less big overlays = horses that seem to be more in my normal comfort range (5-1 / 10-1). Bomb chasers may struggle which I feel works to my advantage. Just one guys thoughts. Oh, I also like being home for Monday A.M.. Makes for a normal week. Best of luck to all the Derbytrailers!

I am in as well. Looking forward to meeting some of you I have not, and seeing those who I haven't in a while.
