I'm concerned about the distance for NP, but there's no question he's a hard trier who has already outrun his pedigree, and if you can look past the pedigree he's 4x the price of L@L for virtually the same past performances.

Personally I won't be using him much because I don't think he can get a mile and a quarter but I can't argue with anyone who says he can and 12-1 is a fair price to find out at.

Sen. McConnell picked Super Saver today. Look out.

[tbonds]

Paddy O'Prado could love the slop as well.
giving a muddy and not real sloppy track. Could be
used in deep exotics.

Here's what I'm thinking right now (I have the right to change my opinions before the race)

$2 W Line of David for sentimental reasons

Oaks / Derby Double for #2

Blind Luck, Tidal Pool / Sid Candy, Discreetly Mine, Ice Box (may add another horse or two like Jackson Bend / Super Saver / Dublin)

$1 Exacta wheel

Sid Candy / Noble's Promise, Super Saver, Ice Box, Devil May Care, Conveyance, Jackson Bend, Discreetly Mine, Dublin

I'm keying Sid Candy on top and bottom of those horses.

[CSC]

It's hard to fathom that the Jockies for the 2 horses I like in this Derby may be winning riders come Saturday night.

[slotdirt]

Is Setsuko going to be the classic overbet potential Derby horse who runs up the track in the American Turf? This seems to be the sort of "consolation" race for horses pointing for the Derby who are left out of the starting gate, and none of them ever seem to run well in this spot.

I'm thinking of exchanging Jackson Bend for Paddy O Prado. Any thoughts?
