Pretty thin skinned tonight. Stick around and you find that we can bet the bucks with the best of players. I'm small time and wager about $1500 a month and am willing to share my picks with anybody.

Big Brown romps in the Derby. He towers over anyone else. I have watched a pretty weak crop of 3 year olds crawl home in a bunch of boring preps for the last 2 months and have seen all I need to see. This horse is the goods and so much reminds me of Saint Liam. I think we are looking at a potential triple crown winner too.
He'll sit right off Bob Black Jack and open up by as many as Prado wants to
If you can get 3/1 on him on Derby Day, dont make another bet all day long.

I think that the horse ran very well in the Fla Derby and has tremendous potential, but I will probably toss him in the derby. My reasons are, besides the post in the Fla. derby (where he broke sharply and go to the front anyway) he has had 3 pretty clean perfect trips. Now he will be in a field of 20, (at a short price) and probably have to deal with some sort of adversity somewhere. The most important thing for me is that I think that there will be a lot of pace in the race. It seems that even if BB doesn't need the lead, he still wants to be up front. I am hoping War Pass and horses like Bob Black Jack run and BB gets stuck up front in or near a speed duel. Plus would it be possible that trainers like Assmussen and Pletcher try to backdoor other speed horses into the race through the Coolmore or another late prep? There is a chance that he is just a freak, but I am not taking him at a short price in his 4th career start.

What was wrong with Bellamy Road? He was an extremely talented colt. He happened to be plagued with injuries ... is that his fault?

Nothing wrong with him. This is a perfect example of history repeating itself. Bellamy Road romped in a Derby prep and was proclaimed "the next super horse." He turned out to be a short-priced flop as the Derby favorite in his 4th start. I'll be betting others for the win in the Derby.

Default Derby Scenario

What if Big Brown and War Pass (maybe also Bob Black Jack, etc.) get hooked up in speed duel and then Pyro or Denis of Cork picks up pieces? I am aware that BB has shown some ability to rate, and obviously post positions could play a big role here, but I can definitely picture this scenario coming to pass.
