Being a short field (8 compared to the Derby’s 20) and having two horses getting MOST of the money, those being Justify getting the Lion’s Share, and Good Magic getting sloppy seconds, every other horse will have (I hope ) even more inflated win odds. I have 3 longshots figuring into my superfectas ( I have a tvg.com account) and I am very excited about D. Wayne’s entries, Bravazo and Sporting Chance. ALSO, Lone Sailor cannot be excluded from either the trifecta or superfecta. Irad Ortiz is a jockey who can do anything, and I saw this about 4 years ago when he was still a bug boy. He and his brother are in the Preakness, (Jose is on Good Magic) and if the race plays out the way it might, he would be the only really LIKELY one to catch Justify at the wire, if Justify happens to try a repeat of the Derby on the lead all the way.I have win bets on 4 long shots #1 Quip #2 Lone Sailor #3 Sporting Chance and #8 Bravazo-—I have a very strong feeling that both Lukas horses will be in the top four-—If Good Magic and Justify finish 1-2 or 2-1 , it won’t much matter who is 3rd or 4th-—the payoffs will almost make it not worth betting.So I am going with Sporting Chance to win.
My son has Lone Sailor in his bets, I have Quip in mine, and I like good magic too.
