I'll start.

I am always looking for value, that is a horse who's odds are not reflective of his real chance to win the race. With that in mind....

Gonna key #9, Bodexpress in three slots in the 50 cent tri. all all

I'm not generally a tri player but for these big field public races that's where the money is. Think this would be $66.00 x 3.

THe horse is a maiden. That pumps his value up right there. But this horse was slightly gaining on Maximum Security, running second by 3 and change in the Fla Derby. He was sitting right behind Maximum Security when the interference occurred in the Ky Derby. He had to steady sharply when Country House came over on him. Lost all chance right there. He was also in the mud in the Derby and I don't think he likes the mud. If he gets a clean trip tomorrow I don't see why he can't get a piece of this tri at odds of 20 to 35 to one.

Good luck, guys.

the odds are out of whack in this race, i think im gonna bet the 1 if he stays at his current price which i know is a long ways away but the 2 and 7 are just getting hammered down, no value at all in those horses

i like the way your approaching the race though if you can hit that price horse where you slot him you could score out. that seems to happen a lot in these triple crown races, some wonky horse ends up in the money and the tote lights up

#3 Warrior's Charge is an interesting horse in the race - was supplemented into the race which cost 150,000 and has Castellano on him should go right out to the lead and play catch me if you can.Dont know if the horse can win but was told if you by an old man years ago at the track if your paying that much to get into the race you should be on the ticket somewhere.I played an ext wheel 3/1 2 4 5 8 11 12 13 for the hell of it

Owendale and Bourbon War are very interesting horses at a price

Bourbon War WPS

Nice call, Husker Fan. And nice price too. Hope you scored good. That horse was under restraint for the whole Derby until Gafflione couldn't hold him anymore and caused all the trouble in the Derby by trying to squeeze him where there was no room, thereby killing his chance. No such problems today. He ran a beauty.

And you were right, Gravy. The #3 completed a 51,000.00 super.

Thxs Michelangelo,My dumb ass doesn't use the #10 in my exotics and cost me big time today and he was usable in a method I use

Yea, Gravy. You're a better handicapper than me if you could have used that #10. The only thing that stunned me is that he went off at 25-1. I thought he should have been 50 - 100-1.

That was quite the exacta. 6-1 with 25-1 paid 900 and change. That was an extraordinary payoff for those odds.

My #9 bucked the jockey, Johhny V, off out of the gate. So I lost the Derby to a bogus disqualification. Then had my horse eliminate himself at the gate this time. Horse racing is a tough game.
