All things KY Derby/Oaks Fri-Sat @ Churchill Downs

Chad is kind of a grumpy weird, little man. But dude got a animal sciences degree from Cornell. So I really respect that.



He's very strange. Talked to him a couple times at Saratoga, super approachable thou ....Once there was a woman running around drunk acting super hyper while he was talking to a buddy and me. He said "She clearly needs some training" went right back to talking about 2 horses later on the card.
 
East Coast people hate Santa Anita horses and it's pretty hilarious

I don't give two shits about where the horses are from but it's like they get pissed when a WC horse is in the mix

You're spot on ...
I've never understood it ...But if you're at the track here or Champions OTB , a lot of bettors will simply not Use a west coast horse on top of their exotics or in multi leg wagers .... They'll say things like " Well he's shipping from Santa Anita , so toss". ...Like WTF , they act like they're traveling the Oregon Trail ...
Also hear "the racing out there is slipping"

They get angry

Like Hollywood stripped them of their lifestyle

After Baffert got suspended , people here would flip out saying ..."They all cheat in California. Never bet tracks out there. Those races are fixed. Do I get my money back now in every race Baffert won ?" ....


Meanwhile the most fixed shady track in the hemisphere is Buffalo Raceway ....Several trainers used to pop in at OTB on the way down to the track collecting money for tips ...One trainer "AA" would give us a super or two a few times a week ..." Don't bet my chalk on top , single him 3rd in the exotics". Then we'd watch his super come in cold , but NOT pay 1/8 of what it should bc too many people knew the fix was in.
 
We hit the Pick 4 , on our last ticket that 2 of us didn't want.

The 5 of us spent $396 including the hedging double ...
Got Back $610

A whopping $42.80 profit each 🤣🤣🤣

Still better than losing 🤑

When it's all said and done $12.93 profit on CTG posted plays lol ...

Can't wait for tomorrow. Probably won't bet anything until race 7 ( Pat Day mile ) ...



Also hit the Tri in the Oaks for $182 after the crooks at OTB get their cut , but that doesn't count here ( Spent $40 total that wasn't posted on these type of cheap tri tickets on races 10-13)

The Pat Day mile is probably my favorite race today. It'll get lost in the hype of the Derby, but that is going to be an old school throw down by 2 immensely talented runners.
 
Most likely winner on the card goes in race 1.

#11 Power Shift- I'll be playing heavy win ticket on anything over even money. With a couple scratches he'll get to move in 2 spots and hopefully not be caught 2 wide in the first turn. He just towers over these. He's also been Renegade's workmate.

Check out the company he's run against. Emerging Market, The Puma, Further Ado. Now in vs. maidens, hopefully we can 6/5.

I'm an absolute mush on the first 5-6 races in Derby day ...Believe I've cashed 3 total tickets in the last 30 years 🫪🙃🤣 ...Really have stayed away for the majority of the last decade until the larger stakes races on the slate .

Promise to not tail anything you post in those races , you should cash huge !!!
Especially on Power Shift ...You're getting Irad and Pletcher too , wow ..
