I don’t think Sun Thunder hitting the trifecta is crazy. Not sure about the exacta…but why not?

I’m just unsure of the pace. It’ll be fast but how fast? I could see a horse like Derma Sotogake inheriting the lead or sitting right off of it (actually love the 17 post as he’s outside of pretty much all the major speed there) and timing his move.

My plan currently is to have Derma Sotogake and Two Phil’s on top in my pick 5 and my trifecta bets. Trying to figure out the other horses still. I might throw Sun Thunder in. I kind of like Skinner but seems lots of people like him.

I voted Tapit Trice. Watching his races it’s obvious he doesn’t like the kickback at all. My opinion is that’s why Saez made the middle move in the Bluegrass. The draw did him no favors, he will be taking dirt and backing out in the early stages.

I will be keying Rocket Can in all 3 spots in the trifecta. His draw matches his style and should have a clear shot at the leaders when the time comes. He was trending the right direction in Florida then threw a dud in Arkansas which I’m willing to forgive at a fat price.
