you have good picks, just wait till race day watch the board and if there is an overlay on one of your picks then key him with others. even a $5 str wps bet on a 6-7 -1 shot will get you back some dough. don't over think it. it's a day to enjoy not just the derby but the whole card, good-luck and by the way i'm a otr flat-bedder .

Okay
you are right again the derby day should be enjoyed, but for me I see it as a way to pay off my truck,and maybe fix it up just enough to try to sell it and become a Company Driver or get out of trucking , if possible, but I have had 3 straight Companies go under that left me high and dry, and the last one really hurt, leaving me in a bind, so maybe I am streching a bit, trying to use the derby to make up for the few bad turns I had, sorry for that.

let us enjoy the day and try our best to find the winner to key upon, and to be honest with you, there are truly 3-6 horses that come to the top, with about 6 more , right there too, unlike the last 2 years.

I Want Revenge
Quality Road

Both the races these 2 pulled off were amazing, proving both true Derby contender's, and the extra panel be danged....

any need a good 2001 International Egale to haul horses around , give me a call I will give you a great deal, and if you have no driver either, well then , maybe we can fix that too, boy this is fantasy island , now, lol

Thank you Sir

Really , But a 400lb guy will not be on the top of any flatbed soon, sorry, but I must pass on the offer, but true Melton is a good company, I see the everyday out here, may be leaning towards Schneider, after I pay this one off and get it fixed up to sell it, I might as well get what I can for it, could be 25k or so, but may end up taking 15 or so for it , we'll see.

Be careful out there, each day it seems to be a little more dangerous, pay attenetion, and be careful.
