I just pray there is not another Aikenite on the card to spoil all my pick 3 and 4 tickets this year.....

Romans was my daddy on the two big days at CD last year.

Sassy Image spoiled an otherwise lucky day for me in the '11 Derby.

Court Vision's win in the 2011 Breeders Cup Mile spoiled the fact that I had shrewdly spent a few hundred dollars keying Gio Point and Goldikova underneath in superfectas and spreading with ALL's in the other slots, except thorwing out only Court Vision entirely on the win end.

Just thinking of that race makes me nauseous.

Same probably goes for Rick Dutrow Jr. and IEAH

It amazes me how many times I get beat by an impossible horse when I do that.

Seconded. Pretty much everyone I know had Apriority but not Aikenite.

Good luck everybody....

Is there any place to watch the works from the week online?

the Works was a staple for me, but seems they bailed on it. Thanks.

I basically just prefer other horses a little more.

Pletcher horses always run gangbusters at the start of the new calender year ... they normally peak within the first 3 starts of the season -- and often have peaked by the second start.

Gemologist is a nice horse -- and I like that he's only had 2 races this year -- but he will need further improvment and from a bettting value standpoint...this is the time of the year when it's becoming safest to play against Pletcher horses.

Well this year it was LIttle Mike. I overestimated that the pace would be highly contested. I should have known that Ramon would put a hammer lock on Get Stormy. Being wrong about that cost me big in the pick 4's.
