i just spent 2 hours listening to this podcast. bottom line is that i thought it was the best one that i have ever seen for any type of handicapping preview for a big event in horse racing. i know this must have taken a ton of work to put this together without to much technical staff.
i really enjoyed the format with the international guests.
i am going to cold punch an Oaks and Derby double going with the old 1-1 DD.
the Oaks was an easier one to come up with the Lukas horse. an old buddy of mine, Archie L, who knew nothing about horse racing except that he always wanted to know when a filly ran against the boys and lost by less than 4 lengths, you want to bet that filly when she re-visits her friends. i thought she deserved the chance against the boys and didn't disgrace herself. ECHO ZULO is on a 5 race win streak and might be the wrong favorite to the race due to her post position and the way she has won her prior races.
the Derby to me can go a number of ways. i am going to have to see how the track is playing, but before the race, MO DONEGAL has already proved that he can win against the speed bias. so he has to be my choice. EPICENTER or ZANDON could win and would have to be one of the best 3-year-olds of all time to win this race.in this field of horses.
