Also fine with me. I have no clue why anyone would bet a horse that isn’t even in the derby yet at 8-1 in Pool 4.

$20 wins you $180. If you really like him, why not just bet him to win the Arkansas Derby? If he’s 2-1 in Arkansas and wins, that’s $60. And if he’s 3-1 in Kentucky and you roll those winnings into a bet, you’ll get back $240. Better use of $20, in my opinion. Of course he could lose the Arkansas Derby and win the Kentucky Derby but that seems...improbable.

Anyway...for the Arkansas Derby I was originally backing Omaha Beach but I think I may be moving elsewhere. I’ll take a final look on Thursday or Friday and see if that weather forecast sticks.
