[slotdirt]

Sen. McConnell picked Super Saver today. Look out.

[tbonds]

Paddy O'Prado could love the slop as well.
giving a muddy and not real sloppy track. Could be
used in deep exotics.

Here's what I'm thinking right now (I have the right to change my opinions before the race)

$2 W Line of David for sentimental reasons

Oaks / Derby Double for #2

Blind Luck, Tidal Pool / Sid Candy, Discreetly Mine, Ice Box (may add another horse or two like Jackson Bend / Super Saver / Dublin)

$1 Exacta wheel

Sid Candy / Noble's Promise, Super Saver, Ice Box, Devil May Care, Conveyance, Jackson Bend, Discreetly Mine, Dublin

I'm keying Sid Candy on top and bottom of those horses.

It's hard to fathom that the Jockies for the 2 horses I like in this Derby may be winning riders come Saturday night.

[slotdirt]

Is Setsuko going to be the classic overbet potential Derby horse who runs up the track in the American Turf? This seems to be the sort of "consolation" race for horses pointing for the Derby who are left out of the starting gate, and none of them ever seem to run well in this spot.

I said the exact same thing to somebody this morning. I don't like him near as much as others. I think he wants to go further and while his first turf race was solid, it was by no means spectacular. This field didn't turn up soft either. I think a lot of people that were hoping he got into the Derby already had decided they were going to bet him and still will even though its a completely different race.

Boy were you right. Opened up at 3-5. Thanks but no thanks.

Thompson(only if the track is fast), Garcia, and Talamo. I know this equals 3 but these 3 horses seemed to be the most talented.

I'm thinking of exchanging Jackson Bend for Paddy O Prado. Any thoughts?

I like neither so I can't help.

[otisotisotis]

I have run my numbers and only been able to cut to 7 potential winners....

Dublin - can't toss.
Sidney's Candy - why not?
Conveyance - most consistant, but can he run from behind?
Super Saver - does he make the big jump?
American Lion - dirt move is for the best.
Jackson Bend - I'm thinking plugger for the 3 or 4 spot.
Ice Box - peaking at the right time,or was he geared for FLA.

still more work to form a wager........we shall see....
