Horse racing continues to take place daily during the coronavirus pandemic, and on Saturday Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., opens for the first time in 2020 with a loaded 11-race card. Only two of the 11 races will have smaller than a full 12-horse field. In Race 11, the Mark Casse-trained Fly So Pretty makes her first start of the year and goes for her third career win in five starts when she leaves the starting gate in an allowance race. She has been installed as the 7-2 favorite in the 5½-furlong turf sprint.
The race is the final leg of the late Pick 5, which requires a bettor to pick the winner in five consecutive races. The Pick 5 begins with Race 7 at 4:08 p.m. ET. National handicapping champion Jonathon Kinchen has evaluated each of the races in the late Pick 5, and, with the sequence featuring large and competitive fields, you'll want to see his horse racing best bets and predictions before building any late Pick 5 tickets at Churchill Downs for Saturday, May 16.

How many gray horses does Bob Baffert own?
I have no idea if you are right or wrong, but THIS I know: The old gray mare, she ain’t what she used to be...

After years and years of practice and losing money, I know with 100% certainty what horse is going to win, place, and show, AFTER the race has finished.

But “always bet a grey horse on a grey day”.
But always bet a grey horse on a grey day.
Only if they are with biscuits and smothered with gravy.
Never bet on a horse that just pooped on the track before post or have their ears pinned back!
Most horses poop on my ticket, saves time.
