The thing that was not strange about it was that Baffert won it. Now it seems strange that he is not in it.

Is The Kentucky Oaks Friday On Tv 📺
If So = What Network

TV coverage of much of the Oaks card will be available on the USA Network, starting at 1:00 PM Eastern.

WEATHER REPORT for Friday and Derby Day. Scattered showers Friday on into the night with some possible downpours. Chance of rain Saturday with forcasted 40% coverage highs in the mid 70's. Basically unsettled.

I'm sure Fanduel will have the full card. NBC may cover it too, not sure though.

Mine keeps getting longer and longer. Now up to half the field. Probably not a good sign for success.

Got my wager down and it's not on the Derby.

I likely will regret it, but I will be betting nearly half my bankroll on the Derby. I always play a little "real" money on it so might as well play it in the contest too. It's usually my undoing every year and generally the reason I have to reload my wagering accounts, but it's just too exciting to sit on the sideline, but whatever floats your boat. I can see why others would want to avoid it.

I'm taking on the Turf Classic Race 11. I can see some possible good plays and ROI there.

I came very close to playing that one, but finally decided to play others. I think I am going to play a pick 3 or 4 which will start with that race and end with Race 13 or 14. If you hit that one, you may be the new leader. Wouldn’t be at all surprised, but who knows what everybody else has up their collective sleeves. Hopefully, just their arms, but with this group, there may be some aces.
