Wow, ML 10-1 shot becomes the favorite.

Question

Dont remember that happening in my 40 years.

But here he is - Max Security at 9-2.

Was on him and off again,mainly because he raced against somewhat light competition. And will fade in the stretch....I hope

Vet, I have seen this before at smaller tracks and races, ML doesn&#x27;t have much meaning, just track handicappers best guess of how public will bet, this race is a crapshoot as to how betters will bet, although I agree with you on Max Security, I&#x27;m not betting him either, no way he wins unless nobody goes out and runs with him, derby is not that "lone speed" on the front end type of race.  I think War of Wills has very good chance here and his odds say he is under the radar, I think he&#x27;s good enough to overcome the tough rail at CD.

Just referring to the Derby,it was still kind of a surprise to me..But yeah, just dont wanna see Max get away. Think he gets some pressure this time around.This aint no $50.000 allowance.

Never say, "no way" when it comes to gambling.   Now that that is out of the way, you actually handicapped the race very well, and "War of Will" had a legitimate shot to win, until he had to check up.

Thanks, I appreciate your comment, yes I thought War of Wills was definitely making the wining move when Maximum Security went off the rail right into his lane and cut him off. Bet that's horse racing sometimes, no controversy on the dq as far as I'm concerned, stewards had guts in making this call since it was first ever in the derby, but it was the right call.....

Of course, this didn't help me cash tickets, except for small saver bet on Code of Honor across the board....
