USUALLY DO VERY WELL IN DERBYS...TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, BUT ICE BOX HUGE OPPORTUNITY IF HE GOES OFF GREATER THAN 12-1
GL ALL
The reason I don't like Ice Box is because I like to see the horse do something as a 2yo. It took him four cracks to break his maiden, and he finally did at the Meadowlands. This year, he couldn't compete in the Fountain of Youth, which I think was a tougher field than the Fla Derby. Fla Derby win was OK, but the field wasn't that good and it was six weeks ago.
Good luck with whoever you take. When I finally decide what I'm playing, I'll probably post it in this thread.
| Calvin Borel won two recent Derbies, and people may say he is due to lose. However, he has been hot lately at the track and won with a great ride on a longshot last year (Mine that Bird). Also, Dublin raced twice at CD, and did not fare well. Dean's Kitten raced once here, and did not do well either. However, in his only CD start, Borel won by five lengths on Super Saver. And in his last race, Borel rode splendidly on his horse on a track similar to CD in OP.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And you won't find a BETTER jockey for CD in this spot than Borel. Super Saver is this years Derby winner, slop or not. Also, Pletcher's best horse, Eskendereya was obviously scratched, and it would only be fitting that he win the race with this other horse. 15-1 DRF line is too high, and I expect this horse to be closer to 10-1 at post time. |
#4- Super Saver lost to 4 of these before and what has changed
Super Saver was $4.40-1 closing odds in his last race at Oaklawn Park. And he came in second by a neck to a 17-1 shot who held on with a gritty effort. If nothing changes, then he should be able to repeat that excellent performance and run another great race. And if Line of David pulls that front running style again in the Derby, he will be lucky to come in the top four.
Also, in his only race at Churchill, Super Saver ran brilliantly. Just because he lost a race does not mean much since he ran and placed so well in the process.
I just went through everything and here are the 14 horses I'm tossing so far:
#2- Ice Box
#3- Nobles Promise
#4- Super Saver
#5- Line of David
#6- Stately Victor
#8- Deans Kitten
#9- MMfM
#10- Paddy O Prado
#11- Devil May Care
#14- Mission Impazible
#16- Awesome Act
#17, 18 and 19
