Figure Gunnevera you'll get 10 to 12-1 and Hence 12 to 18 to 1.



Then doing some smaller exacta, tri's and supers mixing it up


I also like Patch maybe not to win and not sure show bets are really worth it, so id have to figure out how to use him

How many bets do you have? Honestly though do you really think Hence can win the ky derby? This year is such a mystery why not just bet crazy numbers? That being said if I had to pick one horse if my life depended on it I would pick Gunnevera but I'm really glad my life isn't at stake....I'm betting Longshots to win, Longshot exacta boxes, and Longshots in my multis. ....I want no part of McCracken and Irap is a horse that I want to lose money betting ....something tells me always dreaming is never in the hunt and finishes 16th 2 spots behind McCracken and 6 spots ahead of Tapwrit....Batallion Runner runs in the super and Calvin Borel wins the race....yep that's how it's going to go

actually I have a futures ticket on Battalion runner too but I didnt mention it cause he has no chance in hell. I stood 15 feet from that horse after the wood, i dont think iv ever seen any living thing so exhausted, I actually felt bad for him. he has no chance at the distance and they should of skipped.


and yes I do think Hence can win. there is like 15 horses who CAN win this year.

i have futures $2w on always dreaming, war cry, thundersnow, battle of midway, girvin, tapwrit and $1 ex box with empire, mccraken, lookin at lee and the field from pool 2

i will probably play $2 wps on classic empire cos his ark derby looked really good and i feel that he will improve and move back to his higher figs.

maybe this derby isn't as close as we think?

idk i probably won't invest that much, I don't like the thought process that one race is much more important than the others.

I must correct myself.War Admiral did face twenty horse field.he broke extremely fast and took the lead from the first step to the last. Having said that I see no War Admiral here .And will toss the one post from the win. If I'm wrong I'm wrong .Won't be the first or last time.

If you don't bet $2 you're wrong.

Dime bets are for cheapos.

horses that didn't run a prep race in April have finished in top 3 in 9 of the last 10 years. Hence, Thunder Snow, Fast and Accurate only 3 this year

Yes. Spacing is good. 5-6 weeks has proven to be optimal for this race.... Regardless of month...
