love her too, But I believe all the Summer Applause that you will hear this Summer, will be about Gemologist.......................Summer Applause/Gemologist.......Oaks/Derby Double

Looks like anyone's race in the oaks. Grace Hall/Bode Empire Maker/Swami chalk angle. I'll take no less than $60 for the DD will pay.

gomez foot surgery.. hes had very few mounts at keeneland. but has many mounts on oaks day..daddy nose best may not get the best ride due to this..any thoughts..

I would never let something like this talk me off a horse.

Agree. I wouldn't worry about his fitness and if the foot is bothering him, a cortisone shot will take care of that.

The guy practically had one arm when he rode Blame in the BCC 2 years ago. He'll be fine.

ok..ill go with that as a non factor..

Maybe if he had two good arms Blame would have been rightfully crowned Horse of the Year. Bummer...

Saturday's Overnight

http://www.equibase.com/premium/eqbH...C-CD-20120505D

I like the overnight!

Real stoked for the weekend

I can't believe we're this close to Derby day and there hasn't been a single post about the weather!

Empire Maker is the sire of both ML favorites, has this ever happened before?

No dam has ever foaled 2 KD winners. Dullihan is a 1/2 to Mine That Bird.

Shhhhhhhhhhhh :D

Hot.

Asking for help on ticket structure..... if you don't want to respond in thread pm me. Having a hard time with this.... these are my 2 day pick 3's, something just feels wrong.


2 with 6,7 with 3,6...... $1
2 with 6,7,9,10 with 3,6,8,13,13. .....$1


2,4,8 with 6,7 with 3,6......$1
2,4,8 with 6,7,9,10 with 3,6,13,14.....50 cents

2,4,5,8,10 with 6,7 with 3,6....50 cents
2,4,5,8,10 with 6,7,9,10 with 3,6,14.....50 cents

When I write them out something feels wrong, is it just me?

You have the 13 in the derby twice in the second bet.

The only thing I can see wrong is that Turallure is not on any tickets nor is gemologist or union rags. Obviously that is my opinion and I realize you have to take some stands but you have the 2-6,7-3,6 multiple times. Why not add to that base instead of taking a stand?

D Wayne is 0 for 57 in graded stakes races the last few years. I remember we were talking about this about 5 years ago and he was around 1 for 80 in graded stakes races at the time. I wonder what his record is in graded stakes races the last 10 years.

I think he must hold the all-time record for the worst performance in history over a 10 year period in graded stakes races. He must be like 2 for 250 or something like that over the last 10 years. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Swinging for the fences today -

50 cent P3 starting with Humana:
3,4,5,8/2,5,8,10/ALL = 4X4X20X0.50 = $160
