admit your stupid hunch bet
I had a dream a week ago that I was working the starting gate at CD and I looked at my ticket and I had played an exacta wheel, ALL over #10 and a win bet on #10. The horse was a one-word name and I swear it was Shackleford. But when Twinspired drew the ten hole, I think I'm giving up on the hunch. Dumb as all get-out but there it is.

When I was a kid back in the forties, my dad took me to a wrestling match at exhibition park in Van. B.C. The big bad guy(LOL) was a russian named Soldat Gorke. I have never heard that name again till now, so gotta put a few skanoochies on Soldat.

Taking a break from handicapping for comic relief at good 'ol PA. Last thing I looked at was that Twinspires bested Shack by 8+ lengths in their first-out race.
This Derby is a puzzler, for sure.
My hunch: Master of Hounds. Was watching a movie on PBS on Sunday and looking at pre-PPs for Derby. There was a scene with a fox hunt.

This horses name alone will attract money.
