It’s as good a method as any, probably :~)
So far so good. Maybe they’ll get lucky.
Unless we get more of that rain late this afternoon, Churchill Downs should still be a "fast" track. They are the World's Most Legendary Racetrack, after all, and they take perfect care of that dirt track.
I don't like to usually take favorites or even low odds horses. But I like who I like. Street Sense and Nobiz Like Showbiz seem like the obvious choices to me. For longshots I like Zanjero and Dominican.
This is so nice HairOfTheDog,Thank you:)
Thank you all! My pleasure, and my hubby’s help on the table! make yourselves at home... have a Mint Julep on Lysie, I’ll be around :~)
Make it a three way exacta box along with imawildandcrazyguy and you've got a bet with some real play.
I know zilch about horses, but have had a fair measure of success at the track just by following the late money. I look for horses with a morning line in the 12-1 or 15-1 spectrum, and when the odds on one of them start dropping sharply just before post, like down to 6-1 or 4-1, I'll bet him heavy. I figure the late money is the smart money. Don't ever place your bet til a minute, or at most two, before post.
Right there with ya. Being from Louisville, I typically turn into a horse racing encyclopedia and study my eyeballs out this time of year, but I’ve been sick all week (damn upper respiratory infection from hell). I just went with a grey horse and (at least in my humble opinion) a cool sounding name - Imawildandcrazyguy.
I just hope no horsies breaks their li’l feets.
Oh - me too. Watching these races, I’d be less nervous and enjoy them more if I knew already that everyone finishes safe and sound.
This is my favorite time of year. I love the Triple Crown races. I think I’ll box Street Sense in an exacta and trifecta with Hard Spun and Scat Daddy, and then put some money across the board on a couple of live longshots like Any Given Saturday and Circular Quay. I may also throw a couple of bucks on Cowtown Cat in memory of my mother, who would bet any horse that had the word “Cat” in its name. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the race.
So who do you like?
Edgar Prado is on Scat Daddy... I’d certainly enjoy seeing him win.
And grays can win.
Upgraded to fast.
