The Churchill Derby Day Card

[JustRalph]

anybody looked at the whole card yet? I am wondering if the real money might be made on the earlier races? If the timer wasn't out of whack for the wood, and the horse is healthy..........I think there is a deserving fav in the Derby. Looking for other plays that day.............anybody else?

Timer was fine...track must have been PACKED

I haven't looked at the card yet, but glancing at CJ's Mini it looks the 2nd could offer some value going against Wildcat Shoes.

The 8 in the 3rd looks interesting at 8-1 ML.

The 7 in the 5th at 6-1.

The 8 in the 7th at 5-1.

The 3 in the 8th at 12-1.

The 3 in the 12th at 5-1.

I wish they'd run the 2YO stakes as the first race of the day. Small field; Pletcher will be 3 to 5. If they ran it first they'd only wreck one P3. madcap Escapade figures to be 3 to 5 or maybe 1 to 2 in the Humana Distaff. As far as cards go, Friday's is superior to Saturdays, IMO.
