Racing to the death so humans can profit. Saratoga averages 14 deaths per year. For what? Fancy hats, mint julips, and Wes Welker making it rain.

One of the best handicappers I have ever know is resident at the OTB I frequent in Richmond, and he was on fire at Gulfstream yesterday. Now he bets way different than me, can't use a lot of he does...but he did put me onto the Oaks Exacta for a cool $950 for $2bet yesterday!!! Now he readily admits the Derby is a crap shoot and anything can happen, but he likes the 3,6,19. EDIT..he gave me these after the Oaks, and after maybe I had had a few celebratory beverages...have no clue if he handicapped these for a wet track..? and you could not pay me to go close to an OTB today....people think the Bills tailgates are rough..go to an OTB on Derby day and some dolt is trying to figure out how to make his $2 Win bet on the Derby whilst some regular is steaming behind him as he just missed his $45 exacta that he was gunna pound for $50!!! That is truly UGLY!!!! My mom and I have been doing derby day at OTB going on 20 years. We got here a little early today, but it's pretty toned down so far. Its raining pretty hard at Churchill right now. 41 minutes ago, frostbitmic said: I'd like to see Wes Welker get run over by a horse. I'm ok with Welker. Edelman on the other hand I'd pay the jockey to run him over. 2

Nextmanup Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I don't know who is expected to win, but I am looking forward to an annual ritual. I record the TV broadcast and FF until the horses are just about to be loaded into the starting stalls. Then watch for 2 minutes, then stop watching. You can short circuit hours and hours of garbage broadcasting that way. I do this for each of the Triple Crown races. This is the extent of my horse racing viewing for the year. 1
McGee Return TD Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 [Tacitus, Win Win Win, By My Standards] Tax is my favorite longshot - might be the fastest horse in the race on dry ground. [Improbable, Tax, Code of Honor] trifecta #2
frostbitmic Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 An uneducated guess Win ... Maximum Security Place ... Game Winner Show ... Roadster
Kirby Jackson Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Jody Demling has hit 9 of the last 10 Oaks-Derby doubles and he is betting War of Will. War of Will won the Risen Star and was the favorite in the Louisiana Derby. He ran a terrible race but supposedly has trained really well. I didn’t use him much but just ran out and bet another $20 to win on him because of Demling. Here are my bets for anyone that cares: $20 Win - 1 $7 Win - 3 $2 Place - 3 $2 exacta - 3,5/3,5,6,8,16,19 $1 exacta box - 3,5,8 $1 Tri - 3,5/3,5,8,16,17/3,7,8,16,17 $1 super - 3/5/8/16,17 Just now realizing that I used the 19 instead of the 17 in the exacta so I will bet another 3,5 w/17.

I always watch the Triple Crown races, but the coverage time is obscene. How I miss the days of when these races were on ABC's Wide World of Sports, and the coverage was just one hour.

CommonCents Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 3,6,9 trifecta for 50. big on the 3 to win. goodluck fellas.
RaoulDuke79 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I generally dont expect to win much if anything in the derby. The field is always so crowded. If I do it's a bonus.

RaoulDuke79 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I have maximum security nowhere. This rain is a real monkey wrench.
The Senator Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I always bet the 4-horse (Gray Magician) and the grey horse (Tacitus). Also have Plus Que Parfait as a long-shot, and Cutting Humor in my bar pool. Hope one of my horses is a mudder. ??? . Edited May 4, 2019 by The Senator

I have everything covered aside from the current favorite. Beer is Troegs Perpetual. Have some garlic parm wings with some additional old bay and minced garlic in the air fryer about to be ready. 1
