If I were you I'd make a $5 dollar wager on whichever horse you like the best that is at least 75/1.
Then I would look over the Gulfstream cards for Saturday and Sunday and try to find a couple of horses you really like in any of those races. I'd spend about $45 playing those.
Then I'd spend the last $50 on alcohol. You can't lose.

i hate only 40/1 on Monba but based on his race in the cashcall i will probably be putting some money on him in the first pool of the Derby futures as i loved the way he closed into good fractions at the end of that race and it appeared that the track played pretty fair that day not dominated by one type or the other and i think his breeding has some potential for a KD winner.

He's a tough one. On the one hand, getting those odds on a Giant's Causeway that is 4 for 4 lifetime including three stakes wins and two races beyond a mile seems pretty good.
On the other hand, I don't even think he'll prove fast enough to make it to the starting gate of the Kentucky Derby.

I would rather take a shot with two dudes in a horse suit than that horse.

50$ Cowboy Cal
10$ Etched
5$ Into Mischief/Maimonades
10$ Coal Play
10$ Double Down Vinman (my homer pick, no real shot at winning)
10$ Blackberry Road

$60 ON CROWN OF THORNS,$40 ON COUNTRY STAR

Actually,I'd put the whole $100 on the horse related to TIAGO("ALONZO"..I THINK).Don't see odds though(so if can't get odds then i'd go with these 2.) Don't know if any of the 3 are still healthy.I'm sure these geeks will know.

More underlays than overlays. Maybe could narrow it down and dutch 5 for a profit on a small wager, but no one is really a lock at this point. Top choices are Court Vision and Monba so far, but it's way to early. Have to watch these others.

EDIT

ATONED -13
COURT VISION -39
COWBOY CAL -13
MONBA -25
VISIONAIRE -10
$100 TOTAL

biggest underlay would have to be Into Mischief.

I've seen 60/1 somewhere.
