Very tough opening card at CHD but will try and string a couple together and those are your 3 to fade

CD oh wise pick 6 proprietors. Million guarantee was on at $2, what now at twenty cents? Day 1 of the season leaves 6 grand carry 10% of pool.
It's a fair rake at 15% compared to 22% on every derby/oaks wager across the board. I'm lost on a prediction of what this pool will handle now. Kinda of a wasted play versus what may end up being a far larger p5 pool.

I think I have my p4 single for derby day. Always dreaming. Will prollly key him on top for tri plays.

I'll have other action with some longer shots. Think I'm going to play against classic empire. I like horses like McCracken, iwc more than ce. I just hope classic empire goes off the favorite.

However these thoughts are post position dependent.

CDI purchases ADW BetAmerica...Holy Chit!

alright who is going to predict this year's Funny Cide?

Was reading the Calumet Alydar story. Knew some of it but good grief what a tale.

Anyone have advice for getting nyrabets to give me the derby new player bonus? I called them up.... created an account like 2 years ago to bet travers day and was unable to get money on quick enough to bet. I just got onto my account.... where I havenet bet at all and asked them to give me the promotion. Lady said she would have to talk to her boss (pretty sure it's going to be no) but anyway I can get them to give me promo. I just said I'm not going to give them action if they don't give me the bonus.... pretty sure this isn't going to work but worth a try for free wagers.

Any other betting sites with a solid derby promo other than twinspires, nyra, and tvg?

xpressbet - look around for promo codes xbderby? xman125 or something like that dunno. 100 after wager 100, 25 for deposit by checking, 50 referral I'll split p4 cheese if you want my acc #. Sure they have higher roller promos as well.

As blah mentioned JK Xpressbet a solid choice. I have been doing a little reading and if the author's story is correct it should go something like this come Fri/Sat...For best turned out horse in the 4th race the groom of the day goes to Jose Rodriguez AND accepting the award on Jose's behalf will be Brian Smith I mean in a sport and we call this a sport right? in a sport where at even the most basic and intermediate level cheating is encouraged or mostly a blind eye turned but i repeat myself that is cheating and when you have a basic disregard to the 'sport" you disrespect everyone who has done things the right way year after year with their employees be it backside or on the horses hide. It is not a color or a race thing with me never was if someone has a problem with their pigment take it up with their folks they the ones directly responsible for it it is about doing chit the right damn way. Author of said article i read surely has a wallet stuffed full of $3 bills.

Tough Tuesday card but those are your 3 to fade.

If it was not for my damn memory i get a real azz kicking yesterday BUT threw a few W bets on horses outside my capping and Hill/Fires saved my day to break even. Last year early in the meet same combo was connecting at big prices as well believe the horse was chocolate something. Tournaments i donated.

Derby draw today and the picture will at least in theory become a little more clear and my statement a few weeks back if any horse will hit the gate better than 7/2 i think will hold.

Catch replays of Byk so i can hear who i think knows which they speak and Gary Young always a solid choice and would say Friday is they day to listen because he seems to get the right voices with their ear to the ground that day normally.

Wash out in store for Oaks and would anticipate a sloppy main for KYD going by what i am seeing atm in forecast.

Doing capping i am on race#8 CHD and seeing if memory is accurate but i think the #2 horse Woodmans Luck this horse has 67 starts so think i may be right but this horse was the last winner at Hollywood Park under C.Knock was he not? PP's do not go that far back but think i am right.

Another difficult card today at CHD but those are your 3 to fade.

Well i think i take 9-19 in my exotics for the Derby winner coming from there might add the #5. Best i can come to shortening the ticket.

Well which Derby never been done (or in forever) is going to happen?
Post #17, Maiden, Unraced at 2, Trainer that hasn't? Tough beat for LatLee.

I have a TVG account but I'll be in a state where TVG isn't allowed on Saturday. Will I still be able to bet using my account since I live in a state where it's allowed?

#17

Same answer But for my ticket i hope the biggest price between 9-19 i am not married to a damn horse this year.

Trying to stay the course till Fri/Sat and will be in every exotic that has a guarantee But if i were to ever part any advice ever which has never been my thing because its your damn $$ play it with your own opinions,BUT the KYD tote should not change much come get after it time and scoring in this race could produce a Yuuuge score. Play your exotics but absolutely save your big coin and plays for the KYD and play every damn thing.....When you hit come back hear say you were fos with El Areeb but totally redeemed yourself

Lost out of the $$ in a tournament by a dime yesterday that was fun hope today not as much fun

BOL fellas on all your plays today through Saturday evening

Oh ya before i forget damnit pdiggz stay the hell away from Los Al Sat there is good racing at CHD ;]

Who do you guys like in the Derby? Is it as wide open as they say it is? Or is there a clear cut horse this year?

Lotta difficult choices linger among the next two days. Good luck to all. It's a great one.
