3 Today, albeit with really low numbers involved

Robert B Lewis Stakes-Santa Anita (20 points for the winner

I really like Madakat Road as an early KD selection.

Holy Bull Stakes-Gulfstream (20 points)

Not sure of the price but I like Tappan Street to get his picture taken

Withers Stakes-Aqueduct (20)

No opinion here

Saturday 0208

Big card at Tampa featuring the Sam F. Davis with 20 points for the winner

7-Poster will get a lot of attention but I like the fact that Flavien Prat leaves that horse to get onto my choice, the 3-John Hancock. This horse won on debut and could be sitting on another big effort. Boxing him with 6-Owen Almighty

Raace7 on the undercard features a pretty tough cast including the 8-McCorvey (out of Curlin/Songbird for the cost of 1 Million).

4 races in today and prices abound.

I'm out.

not unlike my dick

It's gonna be interesting to see what happens if Hawthorne doesn't get things straightened out with CDI prior to the Derby and all these once a year bettors show up at the OTBs trying to bet the Derby only to be told, "We aren't carrying the Kentucky Derby but you're more than welcome to bet Mahoning Valley or Delta Downs."

Hawthorne, CDI...what could go wrong?

Cowboy Dave isn’t going to let that happen.

I like DED, it's one of the tracks I look to bet. Racing is very likely toast here. Will Illinois outlast Florida?

Saturday 0215

Risen Star G2 (50 pts) Fairgrounds

Looking for the 1-American Promise to take them on the lead for as long as he can, but just doesn’t stand up to this group…4-East Avenue seems to have the qualities needed…have to forgive the bobble out of the gate in the Breeders Cup…7- Septarian Chad Brown: Dirt route graded stakes races with Flavien Prat - Past three years: 36 starts, 12 wins (33%), 25 in the money (69%), +22% return on investment ($2.44)…he’s added blinkers and will be gunning for the 4…exacta box 4, 7

15% profit boost offer on Twin Spires for Fairgrounds today.

Should be a solid undercard, weather is good too.

Here's a fun stat

The sire Volatile...First time starters on the dirt-55 starts/13 wins/22 in the money... +113% return on investment
Two such horses today

Race 4 the 5-Bundle 9/2 (Irad Ortiz/Asmussen)
Race 6 the 8-Development Fee (Irad/Devaux)

Also Regarding Chad Brown and Prat...they also team up in the 12th with the 3-Unit Economics and in the 13th wit the 3-Ballerina d'oro

I have one Derby future....Built

and yet still alive in the Pick 5 to the 3 4 7 9 13

43-1? Nice

I'm completely unimpressed by this generation of three year olds.

I'm not buying the fig on Magnitude and he is a bet against for me in the Lousiiana Derby. I question his ability to go beyond a buck and an eighth. I think Chunk of Gold was the most impressive horse in the Risen Star.

I don't know what to think about the Baffert horses who have pretty much just beaten each other.

I suspect that some non-traditional preps might be key races in the run up to the Derby. Like the Leonatus and perhaps other Turfway preps and yesterday's Sunland Derby. Caldera looked as good as anything I've seen and we know Lukas can get one there and win it. A valedictory win for the Coach would be nice.
