He will be a better price than he was in his last two, but I dont see him hitting the exacta. I also dont like Einstein in here coming off the poly in what was an excellent race but against turf horses running on the poly. I dont care what his price is, I am chucking him. Hes beaten me before but I dare him to again!

Proudinski should be just off the lead of Cowboy Cal, maybe even on it if no one else goes. This distance is perfect for him and while hes shown to be really good on a wet turf, I love him on dry & wet in this race. I can see him and Cal running 1-2 around the track. Those are the two I'd use in a pick and a small exacta box.

Court Vision has crushed me before and may do it again but letting him beat me in here. I dont see this race setting up for his huge close and his price wont be all that inviting.

Proudinsky is the pick in the mush, but Einstein is still going to be tough to beat.

He is my all time favorite, never let me down. He would destroy this group.

I usually wouldn't play an all-chalk double, but there might be value here because many seem to like others in the Derby. I still think Justwhistledixie has an outside shot here, and if she does win, it should pay well given how many people will single RA.
If it is RA and IWR (which seems quite probable), at least I'll have it twice.

Bets like yours are the reason I posted the payouts here for the last few. It always pays pretty good.
