We have had a little luck in this race in the past here's hoping it continues on Saturday night

Making my annual trek to Vinton, too. Any other DTers planning trip over?

There is no pick 3 showing for 5-7 on formulator pp's. That would SUCK.
Im totally tossing Blue Laser, I like 3 horses much better. Hoping he takes a ton of $$, with the DRF article and all.

Rooting for Breen. Not betting.

Sounds like some meal.

I was only going to play one race (Qunidici Man in the Mile. Winnah! ) but Classic Legacy looks pretty good and with the odds on Decisive Moment so high (and he looks alright) I think I'll box up these two and leave it at that.

On Aces and Kings... a different kinda story.

The 5th will be crucial for me, because it starts the pick 3 I plan on playing. I really really like the 2, and I think the 3 can win. Both will be square prices.

Incase anyone needs them...

[Danzig]

this is only one of several graded races that will produce a derby runner who really doesn't belong.
personally, i don't think graded earnings at 2 should count, but i doubt the bc would agree with that line of thinking.

It's the same song every year. Come up with a list of horses that started in the Derby who got in via the Delta Jackpot and were undeserving and who they excluded? It's really a non-issue.

Closing Argument cost me nice Giacomo - Afleet Alex exacta, but that's the only one I can think of.

Right, and the thing was Closing Argument belonged in that field, he had won the Holy Bull over High Fly that February.

My point really was that every year people say, "Oh God, horses are going to get excluded from the Derby because some pig from Delta, blah blah" and really it seldom, if ever, happens.

I agree, it's always a knee jerk reaction after the Jackpot that usually doesn't have runners making an impact in the Derby.

Betsy, my sole argument was with given to them. I don't picture you in the team photo with PG1985. Besides I also I'm looking forward to To Honor and Serve although I have a Derby future wager on Halo's Thunder at 300-1.

Gourmet Dinner's owner said he might not even go cause the distance however everyone knows he will get a nice offer and sell him to an owner who could care less(IEAH or Ken Ramsey)and they will run him
