yeah, from what I've been reading Danny isn't supposed to hit the NorthEast until Saturday Evening into Sunday, Traver's should be safe from him

There is supposed to be some showers early on Saturday morning but cloudy during the afternoon. Cold too, low to mid 60's so bringa sweatshirt.

but yeah the Traver's should be ok.

LOL, Hold Me Back really liked that Off track at the Derby. Tomlinsons aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Anyone who is using the derby to determine if Hold Me back can handle dirt/slop does not have a clue about handicapping. It was one of the biggest premature moves I HAVE EVER SAW.

Anyone that cites a Tomilinson number as his sole reason for moving a horse up in slop (three days before the race is run) has less of a clue about handicapping.

I am ashamed to admit this but I bet Hold Me Back in the Derby...never again. The horse is too slow for horses like this. Hes got no appeal whatsoever in this race. I think hes the easiest throw out of them all. By far the slowest horse in this race with not one good angle I can see to make him worthy of a stab.

Its not the sole reasson... I said he should like the slop, she asked why and I said why.

Exactly what other reason would you have for why the horse "should really like an off track" then?

His Derby was not nearly as bad as anyone thinks... AT LEAST HE RAN.... It was premature but he made a huge MOVE. Im not even touting him, but for people to toss him cause of the Derby is A HUGE MISTAKE.
Maybe Im totally wrong, FatMan, Im sure can comment on his Derby trip.

I dont think he has any chance to even finish 3rd if all 7 go. But I would bet the horse if you really think you have an angle. Although I doubt very much the track will be anything close to sloppy. Do you like him at all if its fast?
Dont let what you read on a message board keep you from making a bet on a certain horse.

I think you have a much better chance of cashing a ticket on your guy Quality Road. He will at least be the prominent throughout the race.

A horse in here who I have never bet or been a fan of is very interesting and appealing to me- Charitable Man. For once, you are going to get a fair price on him and the goal all along was to win this race. From what I have heard he is doing better than ever and in my opinion at around 5/1, hes the best value in the race.

My pick 4 will mostly lean on QR, I will use WR a little, a backup very thin with the 1.
If you like CM, dont you have to like WR?
