Who can win Kentucky Derby? These prep races offer final chances to clarify the picture

Quote

Trainer Jose Pinchin said that Three Rules would be pointed toward the Preakness Stakes instead of the Kentucky Derby, then backtracked.

“If you win the Florida Derby, you got to go on to Kentucky,” Pinchin said. “You know what I mean?”

Hope!

That would be worth trying to get a piece of, especially if it rolls another couple of days.

[Adam]

It most certainly will.

 

Last year it paid $80K on mandatory payout day. I was 4 of 6 with 2 2nd place finishers on a $36 ticket. (My ticket could have been the year before. Can't remember)

That's exciting! I have been alive twice going into race 6, and both time wound up with a consolation 5 of 6 payout. So seldom do I play it, and even when I do I won't sink a bundle into it. Your $36 is probably my limit on a P6 ticket. That one last month at Santa Anita has had me looking for a day like that to try again.

I'm still alive (in 1st place) in the bracket pickem this time around, so maybe this is my year to hit an elusive payday?

The GP pick 6 is $0.20

Classic Empire is 3-1 early on in the current Futures Pool.

Remember the one year though.  It was hit on Saturday before mandatory payout day.  Dude scored like $3 million on a $30,000 ticket or something like that.

Isn't he the one that had back problems, and refused to run?

We need to make an AW.com syndicate.  I'll chose all the losing horses, while you and Adam can pick the winners.

Picking out the losers is just as important as picking winners..

Once I pick the losers, they will win.  It's a curse I tell you.

You pick some losers and I'll pick some winners and what we agree on we'll get Adam to bankroll.

Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

I just scored a part time job with the county (government paycheck baby) doing the IT work at the county library. Got to name my own pay rate and set my own hours. If they call me in for something that takes 10 mins to fix I get 2 hours (government paycheck baby).

Horse racing and beer brewing money for me.

That's weird.  With all the trips you take into Yosemite.  I always thought you were a government worker.  In the lines of a park ranger, or something in that fashion. 

So now you and Adam can be the bank for the syndicate since I'm the poor one.

Retired Airlines...I go to Yosemite because it's in my backyard, literally. That and I have a lifetime pass to all National Parks, that and there's a bus that picks me up a block from my house and drops me in Yosemite Valley.

Must be rough.  Nothing to see in your area I bet.  Next thing you will tell me, you get no light pollution and can actually see stars in the sky.

Actually if not for Yosemite and the surrounding mountains there would be very little to do here ... which is kinda why I moved here. The east side (lee vining, bridgeport) is just a couple hours away, but this year they don't expect to open Tioga Pass until July.

And yes...one of my daily things is watching the Space Station (ISS) fly by..tonight's visible pass is at 8:14

@Homebrewer One thing I loved, when I camped out at Black Hills in South Dakota.  For a city boy, looking up and seeing all those stars, it was just unbelievable.  And also, saw a satellite pass by overhead.  Had to ask the Park Ranger that was giving a tour what it was.

never know what you'll see when you look up

Alaska and Scandinavia have been my finest experiences with clear night sky

[Homebrewer]

Was lucky enough to go up on Mauna Kea at night once, years ago, on a private tour thing, and that was pretty spectacular.

I'm pretty sure GB was whacking it during this back and forth

If you need someone with absolutely no knowledge but is an enthusiastic hack in picking horses, I can clear my schedule.

There is always something to be said for the starry eyed number/name/color picking neophyte. 

They are usually chicks, but if you wear something skimpy and sexy we might let you hang out.

GB...stop that.
