I would not bet him at 10-1, but I guess I can see why you would take 4-1 when he will be around 5-2 at post time. I think 5-2 and 4-1 are underlays on this horse.

100% serious. 6 or 8-1 would be fair. Why would I want this horse at 4-1 or 5-2?

You said you wouldn't bet him at 10-1. That's crazy and I would love to know why.

I dont like the horse. I have said it for weeks. Somewhere between 6 and 10-1 would be fair odds, and I still would not bet him at fair odds. This was before the draw. The draw makes him even less likely with sharp speed inside and out. I think the 20 is moving forward at the right time and I think the race sets up better for him. I think Candy Boy is being totally ignored, and I think Intense Holiday will run well. Ill also use Uncle Sigh because he is no worst then the Big Rat and might be double the price and Chitu who I think got the absolute best of the draw and could pull the best trip.

If you believe in TimeformUS, California Chrome isn't even the fastest.

I know. People jumping on me about not liking him, comical. I believe Serling said on twitter he thinks half the field will challenge him. Thats not a direct quote, I dont even have twitter. Plus since when do we chalk out at all? Especially in a 20 horse race though.....

Good idea but you are going to have to wait till next Derby day. He has a self imposed one year ban because Untapable didn't have a chance in the Oaks. We all know he is a man of his word, so see you next year RHT.

Who you looking at? I'm going to have Crome in exactas cause if he breaks well and takes to the track he will win. He is the best horse in the race. I am interested in intense holiday tapiture and candy boy. Intense holiday reminds me of monarchos setup, candy boy needed last race and expect him to run good here and I'm throwing out tapiture a last race. They all need to improve to beat chrome and need a nice hot pace which shouldn't be a problem. Of course I may change my mind by morning.
