Will wait and wait tomorrow to see the weather, but some order of
MMM, Soldat, and Nehro up top, with AAA and Stay Thirsty underneath. Can't make AAA my #1 pick any longer. Add in Pants on Fire if rains to all exotics.

If Santiva goes off cheaper than open put some small save bets there if no rain.

This is basically the exact same logic I am using, as well. MMM, Soldat, Nehro, and AAA are going to be my "A horses" on my multirace tickets.

Ok also added $80 Plum Pretty -110 vs Summer Soiree. Now have four correlated vs. bets fading SS. Her previous two "impressive" victories were against not particularly impressive (imo) competition with opening fractions of 24 and 24.8, no wonder she could open up. 5 of her other previous 6 races were all terrible, the other was a meh 36k maiden win, and the likelihood she presses pace then fades at final turn seems very probable to me. Plum has at least shown she can handle 22" fractions against G1 & G2 competition. Also, Todd from TVG is singling Summer Soiree in his Oaks/Derby DD so I feel extra confident in fading her.

Good luck Honch!

Oaks / Derby Double

1-3-4-12/ 12,15,16,17


Also, I know its early and I understand why, but its absolutely laughable that
Twice the Appeal is bet down to 8-1. If that horse wins the Derby, I'll never bet another race in my life. No Shot.

A few friends of mine are in the "you would have to be crazy to leave Borel out" camp. Huh?

C'mon current odds are terrible but the horse won the Sunland and has the best CD jockey up.

Can't tell if your serious or not, since I see no 3 on your ticket.

But I'll explain myself the best I can, He has a Maiden 30 win and a starter allowance win, then @ 25-1 in the Grade 3 Sunland Derby, they flew early and absolutely crawled home in field that was terrible at best. He is by Successful Appeal who was a tremendous sprinter but I'm not sure if that lends it self to a mile and a quarter. A lifetime high beyer of 89, really!! I mean I cannot take anything away from Borel and if he guides this horse home, he might be the best jock of all time. but to me this horse has zero shot to win and I would rather see Sway Away in here than this nag. No Shot!

I'm personally not using him as anything other than backend of my superfectas, but he's not impossible. Beyer's are jokes. He's moving forward and his 3.75 thorograph figure is only a couple points slower than what will win, and almost certaintly will be 1-wide both turns..

I hope he doesn't, but I wouldn't be shocked if he hit the board. Definently not a play at 8-1, that's laughable. But he's faster coming into this than Mine That Bird was.
