Dreaming of Anna and Mistical Plan will most likely be on or near the lead. But there is no need to take my word for it, because the PPs are free on DRF.com this week.

Personally I think this race is pretty wide open. I think Rags is a bit overrated, and there are 3 or 4 others here that wouldn't surprise me at all.

Thanks. . . I'll be using Mistical Plan, Cotton Blossom, and Dreaming of Anna in my Derby doubles. . .

I think Garrett Gomez was riding a very good horse and did a very good job keeping her out of trouble while not losing ground. Very well done all the way around.

And I would have not have bet her either. Do the math. When approximately 33% of the horses at that price win, and you got a big field on a muddy track. No way.

I've always said that I believe it's better to have $100 on a 2/5 horse that wins than it is to be on a 7/1 shot that loses. Maybe that's just me though.

Funny that Rags won this race easier than she won her races in CA. She should have been in the Derby. Been saying that for two months now. Too bad.

True. Its just that people seem to forget that 2-5 that never broke well and lost. Its a long haul proposition. If the favorite at most race tracks wins 30% of the time... and the favorite averages a bit above even odds... you will find yourself quickly in the hole.
