He's a classy horse,with nothing but good races on his resume.
But........the UAE horses just haven't fired........ever.
At 20-1 I'm kind of priced in on him.
I'll put him on the DD/P-3/P-4........every horse I use on those tickets will be over 15-1.

6 is a lot, no? I got 3 that ill end all multis with. I want no one else.

If we get mud, how can we get a mudfoot report?

Well, so much for Always Dreaming being a headcase. He looked pretty good to me. I had him picked second, but Hence got lost in the shuffle. And my picks are on the Call to Post board.

Correct,6 is way too many.
I promise you everybody on this board has a better read on this race than I do.
Sometimes you just have to know when you can't figure out a race.
But since the Derby is 20 horses and the most exciting two minutes in sports,I'll dive right in.
Plus......I enjoy high risk/high reward wagering,if I actually fell into a ticket it would hold me over for quite awhile.
The only somewhat positive thing I can say about my final leg of the multi's is the lowest price horse on those tickets will be the seventh choice or so.

The first two I see like this:
AD: I just don't think they can afford to take a hold of him,he looks speed crazy.
He might have a healthy lead turning for home..........kind of a Bodemeister deal.
JBE: Dale Romans @ CD........nuff said.
IWC: I wasn't big on him,but when RBE posted the weather call for the weekend that changed things.
IWC pedigree sure seems mud friendly,Curlin on top/Polish Navy on the bottom.
If the track does come up soupy,I will drop Irap and add IWC.

When has Always Dreaming been speed crazy? He sat comfortably in the Florida Derby.

I Don't like any of those guys......doesn't make you a winner, but certainly increases your chances of winning.

Here's the video of Master Plan gaining on Tapwrit in the Pulpit 75 k in the slop at Gulfstream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYsTQ3HOZxA

Master Plan has the only Bris Late Pace ratings that past Derby winners most often had prior to the race, a 110 Bris Late Pace. Master Plan seems to have accomplished this his last three races in a row. Master Paln looks okay against Tapwrit, therefore maybe Thunder Snow did beat a good dirt horse in the U.A.E. Derby. Lancaster Bomber, 4th place in the race, had been the Juvenile Turf runner up at the Breeders Cup
