Iowa Derby

[letswastemoney]

This will be the coming out party for :5: Charge Now.

There are only three horses with enough class to win this race. The other two are :1: Embellishing Bob and :8: Vicar's In Trouble.

Vicar's In Trouble is the equivalent of Game On Dude. I don't believe he can rate and run his race, and there might be enough speed to prevent Vicar from securing the lead in this race.

I'm not sure what happened with Embellishing Bob in the Woody Stephens. His A race can take it.

But, I prefer Charge Now, the Super Saver sibling. The slow BRIS speed figure in his last start can't be taken seriously because he went slow the first half of the race.

Your thoughts?

:1: Embellishing Bob will have to fire from the inside and while the other jockeys are rating and trying to get into good tactical position he steals the race from the front.

I like Smack Smack also, and am looking hard at the :2: Russelin

This race could get bloody up front and come apart

[raybo]

Tough race! :5: :6: :8:

[Lemon Drop Husker]

Really tough to look past the :8: .

I'll be floored if he goes off at 3/1.

Also like the :6: . Kicking the :1: due to the distance.

:2: :4: :7: also look logical in here to me.

Ex: :8: with :2: :6:

Tri: :2: :6: :8: with :2: :6: :8: with :2: :4: :6: :7: :8: :9:

Really nice card at Prairie today.

[PaceMasterT]

A shame that with a nice set of races they had to have crappy weather.

I'm with you on the #5 and I like that fact Alvarado comes in for the mount and he's been riding for Mott for longer than most but would have also likes to have seen Rosario stick or another high profile jock take the mount. ALSO, I've been fooled by types like these with Mott before. I guess I haven't yet learned my lesson because I'm going to play him on top.

I see lots of speed in this race.

If you are going that much in on the :5: why not just put $2,000 on his nose to win as opposed to others possibly messing up the bottom of your exotics?

$2000 as opposed to less than $200?

Well 2g's at PrM will deflate a probable 4-1or 5-1. And if I like him that much at that price I should be confident enough to try him on top in the exotics for a less amount to win much more than 4-1 or 5-1.

However, you may be right. Or we could be totally way off, it's all gambling, well see what happens.

I've played every way imaginable in this game. It's tough in the long run no matter which path you take.

$2000 as opposed to less than $200?

Well 2g's at PrM will deflate a probable 4-1or 5-1. And if I like him that much at that price I should be confident enough to try him on too in the exotics for a less amount to win much more than 4-1 or 5-1.

However, you may be right. Or we could be totally way off, it's all gambling, well see what happens.

I was kidding, I hope you didn't take it the wrong way, which maybe already happened. I apologize.

Personally, I don't see any reason why you would single a horse that much on top with the odds that your horse is at. At least wager it to W/P if you are that confident because you'll get odds on the horse.

And oh by the way, I got the 7 in the 7th. She really fits.

Warming up for the Derby - Race 7

:5: :7: :4:

[pele polo]

I will take a shot in Iow Oaks as there is a misappropriation of dollars wagered on Ria Antonia

I'll take the :5: WPS

[OTM Al]

5,6,8 for me in the second leg of the P3 after a tasty price in the first leg. Get through that then alive to 3,6,8 in the Cornhusker. Hoping a good day gets better.

[Some_One]

For the Derby, :5: at 5/2 is a joke, way too short, :1: w :4: :6: :8:

[pele polo]

Not betting off DRF tonight. Those Tomlinnson numbers would come in handy on a surface like this.

Not sure how they've held up over tonight but I do know they're incredibly helpful most if the time in determining who would run over a sloppy track.

[OTM Al]

Pick 3 just got even more tasty. I will be very sad if Carve beats me

[raybo]

5 had a very bad break, but the 6 got up in time!

[Tom]

Cornhusker - :6: :8:

[PaceMasterT]

Pick 3 just got even more tasty. I will be very sad if Carve beats me

Sure looks like :8: Golden Ticket is going to dominate that one.

[OTM Al]

Will pays are quite nice. I will be quite happy to greet the taxman....

[OTM Al]

Cornhusker - :6: :8:

6 was my top pick too but alive only to $1 for all 3. Going to be buying drinks for the boys if this one comes in though.

[pele polo]

Doesn't much tougher than a sloppy track. I'll take a crack

$2 Tri & $1 Sup

[Some_One]

Was happier to pay against the :8: when he was evens, look like he'll go off at about 5/2, but nevertheless :5: :6: :7: box

[OTM Al]

I am sad
