So dont bet it. Why do people feel the need to bet Derby preps? Especially when it is not necessarily clear what a trainer's intent is for a particular prep, and how fit a horse may acutally be when the plan has been built for a future race.

I think its pretty clear these races are not built to cater to the betting public. I like watching them. That being said the Arkansas Derby should represent some opportunity, especially if the track is a little off.

Quit putting words in my mouth so you can have license to make a point that doesn't need to be made. I'm not betting it, didn't say I was betting it, gfy.

Yeah something about that post rubbed me the wrong way. Like these preps are for watching, not for betting. It's like he's track management.

Did I type you were betting it ya crab? You said it was a horrible betting race. I said so dont bet it. You complain about trainers not having balls for your service. To make a race bettable for you.

How was work yesterday? Hope you feel better later in the day. Have a great day and a better tomorrow.

Why don't you put me on your ignore list? I made a legit point and you just want to be ridiculous and play devil's advocate. Just like the talk about the imaginary degenerate with his family at the track...it was so what if and off the wall it was ridiculous.

These races like the Bluegrass are supposed to be competitive betting races with a decent sized field. It isn't...the premier race at Keeneland is a snoozefest that offers no value. A glorified match race. The sport can't survive with races that aren't bettable. Your point of just watching the race and shutting up about it is RIDICULOUS.

Now we are getting back to legit. There are tons of races that are better betting races. I think the frustration is that these are big races, the lead up to possibly the world's most important race. And I am very interested in them. So big race, I wanna have a bet because I have been watching these guys closely and have an opinion. Except they are not bettable. I understand that frustration.
So I would recommend the Arkansas. I think if the track is off, Curlin is vulnerable. He is on the inside. I think he will get lots of mud in his face (with the way he starts) which he has never experienced. The problem as always is who do you like here. So now I quit as this is a Bluegrass thread.
