According to the chart there were only 15 horses in that race. Authentic's post was listed as 15 so I'm not sure if they moved the posts away from the rail.

I really don't think that I will wager on the Derby via our site save a small Oaks / Derby Double. My main reason for this is I have no clue what to make of the
Japanese horses and as Joly stated there is value to be found on the undercard.
If I change my mind and dive into the pool and on other sites my key horse will be Just a Touch.

I may have to eat my words, but they both look a little on the slow side and also one of them shipped to Dubai and I guessing back to Japan and then here. Sounds like way too much shipping to me. I'm not using either one of them. I'll probably regret it if I do play the Derby, but it's hard to resist.

Thanks for checking RQ. There must have been a bunch of scratches in that Derby. Then again, 2020 was a very strange year all around.

The thing that was not strange about it was that Baffert won it. Now it seems strange that he is not in it.

Is The Kentucky Oaks Friday On Tv 📺
If So = What Network

[JolyB]

TV coverage of much of the Oaks card will be available on the USA Network, starting at 1:00 PM Eastern.

WEATHER REPORT for Friday and Derby Day. Scattered showers Friday on into the night with some possible downpours. Chance of rain Saturday with forcasted 40% coverage highs in the mid 70's. Basically unsettled.

I'm sure Fanduel will have the full card. NBC may cover it too, not sure though.

Mine keeps getting longer and longer. Now up to half the field. Probably not a good sign for success.

Got my wager down and it's not on the Derby.

I likely will regret it, but I will be betting nearly half my bankroll on the Derby. I always play a little "real" money on it so might as well play it in the contest too. It's usually my undoing every year and generally the reason I have to reload my wagering accounts, but it's just too exciting to sit on the sideline, but whatever floats your boat. I can see why others would want to avoid it.

I'm taking on the Turf Classic Race 11. I can see some possible good plays and ROI there.
