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.....

This horse hardly needs the lead, how are they going to challenge him?

Just looking for you to provide reasons why you do not like him, other than the "I just like to pick against the favorite in the Derby", as we a all know its a hard race to win, its a safe position.

I know on Steve's show they have been saying Intense Holiday has been training great all week. I just have a hard time playing a horse that was on the wrong lead down the stretch and lugged in bad in the La. Derby. Maybe it's the track because Vicars in trouble switched leads back and fourth, in his last couple races.

I think Ca. Chrome will have to sit a little off the pace to win. Which I think he can, but I will only play in the exotics.

I took the 4-1, but doubt that I will collect...... Why?

1) He's small. Damn small horses lose photos.

2) Breeding

3) Change in Track.

4) Espinoza is better at throwing bombs than ducking them.

4-1 is fair (nothing less is.) Take a big bite lil fella!

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.

Why should we be deprived of the RHT magic for a whole year? Free RHT!
