derby winner

High Limit

I really like Bandini to win the Derby. The connections have put Spanish Chestnut in the race to ensure a lively pace. Bandini is bred for the distance & his closing style fits this race well. IF he can stay out of "trouble" in this 20 horse field, he should "fly" by everyone in the stretch. I'm playing him in the exacta & triple with Noble Causeway, Afleet Alex, Sun King & Greeley's Galaxy. GLTA!

IMO BANDINI doesn't hit the board and BELLAMY ROAD doesn't finish better than THIRD.....I like AALEX over HIGH FLY, FLOWER ALLY, WILKO, SUN KING.....At pinny I bet every prop against Bandini so you know where I stand....He is just not as fast as the rest....nothing against Phisphan....but he's not in my top 8 maybe 10....

$1 super....

superfecta, you must chose the correct order of the horses 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th.
The way i will bet it gives me more than one possible chance.
How you figure the price depends on how many horses you use

Hey guys I posted this on another thread so if you read it just skip down. I've been no help with MLB, thankfully the 3 wisemen are getting me out of a slump. But below is how I play races like the derby.



I play the ponies quite a bit. I'll give you my advice for today.
I play the derby like the lottery. First these horses have not run this distance before, second there are 20 or so horses running, that's more than any have ever run against. Third I think the favorite has won twice in the last 20 or so years. Anything can happen out of the gate. My point is I don't think the derby is cappable. I play it for the party and the big hit. I have won a lot of money on the derby, but it has all been by pure luck. What I do is narrow the field to about 10 horses than I take a few hundred bucks and play exotic bets. I'll key 1 or 2 favorites over some dogs in an exacta and then reverse it. I'll also take about 3 tris boxed using 5 horses or key one or 2 over a few and then do the same in reverse (this is a little cheaper on the ticket price. Doing this you may lose a couple of hundred but if you have a 10 dollar boxed tri on the 12,3,9 or the 11,20,9 and it comes in you are going to win some nice cash. Anyway I'm going to mix up about 500 dollars of exotics using the 20, 4, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 15 (original posts) again if you key a horse over a few and then take a few over 1 and do something similiar with the tris it's much cheaper than boxing. Heavily consider horse 3 Sun king and 11 High fly in your exotics.


Good Luck

Peter
