Kentucky Oaks/Derby Discussion

[CPA-hole]

Played extra doubles
8) 5
9) 2,4,8,9

 

[KJ]

Did the 3,5,8 EXB

I'll play along for not much CPA, double sounds fun. So much time between races is concerning regarding the rain

Yep. I sure didn't want that for the next race.

 

[CPA-hole]

Let the 2 run you idiot.

 

[CPA-hole]

Woof.

 

[KJ]

Reminder that one horse race that sucks doesn't mean the next several need to

 

[CPA-hole]

If you like someone other than the big 4 in the Oaks, you are getting at least 17-1.

No slop there's a tri box in there if not a super

 

[CPA-hole]

I think I'm against Echo Zulu unless it gets really muddy.

Leaning Nest and Kathleen O. Think Secret Oath has one too many tough races.

 

[CPA-hole]

I'm intrigued with Shahama but she didn't seem to like the kickback last time in Dubai. Can't see her liking an off going.

She's been working with Goddess of Fire and in the morning Shahama is much the best.

 

[CPA-hole]

Also memo to NBC/USA you can update the Derby odds. There's technology now.

Anyone eyeing the 9th race? I think the 6 could make some noise. Would hedge with the 8.

6 definitely has a chance. She hasn't run this year, but she wouldn't be in here if Chad Brown didn't think she was ready.

 

[CPA-hole]

Even money on Matareya. Woof.

 

[KJ]

What a strange board for a stakes race

Pretty much gotta do exact with 8 on top I guess

 

[CPA-hole]

Even money was a gift. The Cali horses were crap.

Didn't have time to look at anything but the Oaks today but my As are 2,4,10, Bs are 7,9 and Cs are 1,8. 4 and 10 are obvious, #2 is Mott's filly who closed strong into a slow pace in the Gazelle and has been an excellent finisher in all her dirt efforts. #9 had good tactical speed and may have had the lightbulb go on in her win at Santa Anita.

Will use the 2,4,10 with 1,4,6,8 and 1,3,10,12 in the Oaks/Turf/Derby pick 3.
Ex box 2,4,10
Ex 7,9 / 2,4,10
I'll play around with this Tri structure: 2,4,10 / 2,4,7,9,10 / 1,2,4,7,8,9,10, isolating prices in different positions, like 2/4,7,9,10/1,4,7,8,9,10 and 2,4,10/2,9/1,2,4,7,8,9,10, trying to catch a nice payout.

EX probables look pretty solid in the Oaks. Gonna box 1-4-10 and hope to beat Zulu. Destroyed me in the BC when I tried to beat her…

I just think with other speed and going an extra eighth, she can't hold off the others.

 

[aplous]

Need the 7 to go….if 6 has it easy up front she’ll never look back.

 

[KJ]

Lezcano doing some damage on the inside at Belmont today, sloppy and rail are great partners

 

[CPA-hole]

I'm usually wrong so here's my daily doubles.

9) 1,3,8,10,13
10) 4,10

I have no clue in the Turf race. Thought the 13 was intriguing at a huge price.

 

[KJ]

Race 10

WW teams up with Irad and at 5/2 gimme the 10 to win, kinda big

Already has the best turf sprinter in the world not in here and he'll probably still win.

Nice call.

Everyone agains EZ eh?

Buddy was frat bros with Ron Winchell so I always pull for the Winchell barn. Obv Gun Runner was their cash cow but never won these big races.

 

[KJ]

This SSB is awful

She did what she needed to do last time. People weren't impressed with it. She'll be better today and she'll need to be. She's done nothing wrong, but I just like a couple more today at this distance.

 

[KJ]

Hour between races sucks so much but it gets a lot worse when it allows weather to get involved

 

[ProV1Colt]

Nothing fancy here.
Taking the 4 in the Oaks

@RetroVK will agree

Got EX

4/7
4/7/10

Pretty square

 

[RBTrojan]

Good luck guys

 

[RBTrojan]

7 looks a bit washed out

I thought the 1 did too and it didn't matter

Couldn’t be happier for Lukas.such a legend…

 

[KJ]

Lol that old fuck D Wayne gets one

Expect his obituary tomorrow

 

[CPA-hole]

Rider change definitely helped her.

Last night Red Lobster

Tonight Taco Bell

86 years old and still rides his horse everyday. We could all only be so lucky. Being that age doing what we love still…

Only time I rode a horse I wanted to punch it

Only time I fed a horse it chomped on my fingers like they were corn

Perfectly fine with them at a distance

DWL is popular around here, several people I've been to OTB with know him in some fashion, they're all the same people though. Square. But good for him.

 

[KJ]

To be fair I was either 4 or 5 when I fed that horse and it staged a life of horse anger that might need therapy

 

[RBTrojan]

Horses see me get close to them and they get nervous. They don’t like guys my size on their back! Last time I was on a horse I tried to bareback an Arabian who decided to make me do my best impersonation of Superman…

Looking forward to tomorrow. Really enjoy hearing your guys thoughts.. best of luck the rest of the day

Haha

Ex's basic father in law owns them and always wanted us to ride and I said nope. Fortunately she was on the same page...felt like it would be a man v beast competition more than enjoyable...definitely not a horse whisperer. They do not like me and I'm only 5'10" 175 or so. But I stare them in the eyes like Sam Elliott would

 

[Gandolf]

Underestimated D Wayne a little too much. Shame because that 9 in 3rd made for nice payout.

Thoughts On TAIBA?! Will Be Overlooked... Only 2 Races.... Thoughts?!

Not overlooked but definitely should be in the mix

Let's Remember...Some "Fans" Just Bet Names...Or Past Record... Why I THINK TAIBA MIGHT BE...

Will be tough to overlook him when he's basically Baffert/Smith but I get where you're coming from

Nest is a hell of a horse, fought hard all the way just didn't get as good a trip. Kudos to Secret Oath!
