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.

Intense Holiday is going to take play, maybe 3rd choice now?

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!

100% overlay, a bit of bookmaking there I guess, close as we come into the states.

They haven't added the extra money to it yet, is this the same for everyone else?

Didn't you get the email?

Dear Gioia,
Well done, you placed an eligible bet in the TVG Odds Boost promotion! If California Chrome wins the Kentucky Derby tomorrow you'll receive the official tote payout; the bonus to bring your payout to 4 to 1 will be credited within 48 hours. It will appear in your account separate to your official payout on California Chrome.

Best of luck!
TVG
