Steve,
Great 2 weeks! The Triple Crown is going to be an amazing 5 week run this year. Best of luck on Derby Day.

Quick question, for the Derby, you use West Side Bernie in the exotics, but do not use him in the P4, using Dunkirk who wasn't mentioned instead. Was that intentional, and assuming it was, guess you like Kirk a little, but no love for IWR or POTN?

Best of luck with the plays, and rest assured I'll lift a Mint Juliep in your honor tomorrow!

Think Bernie is only capable of exotic involvement, and will cover the non-value types (Revenge, Dunkirk) in multis and play against them in race looking for chaotic result. Depending on price and track condition, will key one or two like Choco. Candy, Friesan Fire, Regal Ransom, etc., with rest of the horses above, and spot play big price win bet on Mr. Hot Stuff or similar at 30-1 or more.

Thanks for the kind words. G/L today!

Denny,

Thanks very much... Had a great fortnight here and hoped everyone enjoyed the Derby Week shows as much as I did. Not sure anything the next 5 weeks can top what we saw yesterday from Rachel Alexandra.

G/L today!

I hope everyone has a fun and profitable Derby Day. I'll be hanging out with my usual horse racing crew. Let's bring all of these horses home safely.
Good Luck everyone!

Thanks Steve..hope you crush

[danedelen]

I want revenge just scratched.
Good luck everyone! Hopefully I can get lucky, for a change. Steve thanks for everthing you do. Your knowledge of the game and picks are the best. Unfortunately for me you could give me the exact order of finish and I would find some way to screw it up. Its been atleast a year since I've scored so I guess I am due.

Thanks Steve, enjoy your day off
