Hopefully that means Whitmore is more forwardly placed.

I've bet Whitmore 3 times in a row. At least I hit the exacta 1 of those times with a saver bet, but I'm done with him.

without a doubt..but without victor maybe 20l-1 or more

Without Victor I'd say 25/1+

[arw629]

He will be 25-1 to 40-1 range no matter who is riding

I agree or hope so too. I'm going down with the ship and using Whitmore one more time.

Well said, I like Whitmore too..... S.O.S.

Going from a 'patient' jock to a 'placement' jock, will probably benefit Whitmore, given the projected pace.

I'm with y'all...I played him across in the SW, Rebel, and AR Derby. He's trained by a hometown trainer here in Arkansas, great family, would love if he hits the board in KY (not to mention if he wins!)

He has zero chance but neither did Mine That Bird

Whitmore's last 2 prep races resemble MTB's last 2 preps.
