Derby horses

No works. Just stretching their legs.

Couple having their final works tomorrow.

Gearing up.

If your playing Fierceness and you can still get a future on him at 5-2 I would think about doing so. 

Horse just bettered his palm beach work from last week with an eye catching workout this morning that had Todd Pletcher beaming.

My guess is 2-1 post time although Sierra Leon may have something to say about that. Still plenty of money to be made with a few live longshots underneath.

Undercard should also be outstanding.

 After the post positons were announced one thing that hit me right away was Fierceness and post 17. 

No horse has ever won out of post 17. 0-44 Actually this post may help his cause considering he wont be getting blocked or pinched heading into that first turn.

Lets face it, some of these jocks job is to make sure he doesnt have an easy trip. I can see Fierceness using some of his early speed to sit right behind the first group.

Sierra Leone on the other hand has his work cut out for him. I can see his odds drift a little higher. 7-2 perhaps ?? 

Vet..

They want to burn up Fierceness and not get that easy lead.. if he gets Real loose, gonna be tough for Sierra Leone to track him down...

Going to be an entertaining Triple Crown watching these two go at it..can't wait..

Have any KY Oaks horses to play in the Oaks/Derby Double?

Sierra Leone loves the slop.....should get it Saturday....closing loon....

In the Oaks, I would give #12 Power Squeeze ML 12-1 a good look. She's won 4 in a row & look how convincingly she won her last. I'll be playing her as well as #13 Just F Y I.  

@bigred84 Weather?

@Midnight1

Bummed out with the news on Encino. Really liked him in Supers and show wagers. Fever?? Didnt hear what the problem was?

Think FYI has the most class in the race. Tough post but see a move forward.

@Crusher13

 I like Ways and Means but coming off the layoff where she encountered loads of trouble and still managed to come in second losing to Power Squeeze.

Tough post and 2nd off the layoff. May not like a 11/8.

Leaning towards the 4 Thorpedo Anna. Good post and loved her race in the Fantasy. The 3 Where's my Ring to spice up the tri.

@vetdrm

 Hey Vet.....Hope you're well. Pick a Derby horse yet?

Hey Mikey

long time buddy

You know this year I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay home and watch the Saturday races while playing with my NYRA account. I’m sure you’re aware there is no longer a place in Wisconsin where you can bet on the horses. Poto no longer offers it, same with the casinos up north.

So I called a few Hawthorne owned places in and around Chicago suburbs. All sold out. Not surprising considering I waited till the last moment. Most were $50 $75 range including a meal and a seat. Oh well.

guess we could’ve went to Hawthorne but that’s a pretty long drive. Sure do miss Arlington.

I like Endlessly, but first time trying dirt and no 2 yr old races. Good odds will make me add him anyway.

I like Resillence, Just a touch, and Catching Freedom. Just wish theyd let you play 10 cent supers. Gonna be a little pricey with 7 or 8 horse involved. Please let me know your top 5 when you have a chance. Let’s get together at Hawthorn some day pal. 

Oh yeah. And take a look at what there asking for Breeders Cup tickets near the finish line.$$$$

Just watched the replay of Torpedo Anna last race & Tyler had plenty left in the tank headed for home. Like her as well. Definitely in my exotics.

@vetdrm

 I hear you. I might have a seat in Osk Brook if you're interested. $75 with $50 of it in food and drink. Let me know.

@mikeyp1

 Have to pass but appreciate thee offer Mike.

Should have known you’d have connections.

Maybe next time . Gl  this weekend.

Loving the old gang derby talk. Someone talk me off Honor Marie who's run 3 times on this track and has the 7 hole.
