I would have thought Uncle Mo, but that horse could be scratched from the race.

To me the three horses that look like they have the right make-up to win a twenty horse race right now are Dialed In, Mucho Macho Man, and Nehro. Mucho Macho Man may be a little greener than the other two. Of course, there are probably quite a few colts in there that could win with a dream trip. I doubt Uncle Mo will go.

santiva longshot the 12 & 13 horse Harry likes

Our ace handicapper Doug Nachman who successfully picked Giacomo at 57-1 a few Derby's ago is going with Decisive Moment with 6, 8, 11, 13, 18 in the Exactas. Good luck!

Olczyk was in Vegas recently for the NHL Awards presentations and while in town, played a $166 ticket on the Pick-Six at Hollywood Park, which hit for $500,000.

Olczyk has been a longtime horse bettor who did some guest handicapping for The Meadowlands harness simulcasts a few years ago, and his knowledge of racing and handicapping was immediately obvious Savy is a owner and big time bettor also.

A lot of hockey guys are heavy into harness racing. Harness racing is a big deal in Canada. Serge Savard owns a nice horse named Malicious. Elisha Cuthbert's boyfriend is a hockey player with uncles who train down in Florida. I saw her in the winner's circle at Pompano a couple weeks ago. She didn't look much like the hot chick you see in the movies.

The biggest thing that you learn over time whether harness or thoroughbred is how to tell the pace in a race...who's going to the front? how much pace pressure? How fast will they go? Can a deep closer make a move through it? Shit like that you pick up from watching races regularly.

As for this Derby, I just printed off the form and will take a look.

I heard even money on rain for the race
If its not raining Nehro loved the way he closed at the short stretch of Oaklawn
If it is wet
Horses that won actually broke there maiden in the slop
Twice Appeal with Calvin aboard
Decisive Moment
Pants on Fire Rosie the 1st lady?
Midnight Interlude Baffert won the Oaks...the double

Soladat loves the goo (so did my 1st wife)
Stay Thirsty 2nd on a good track. So he's my pick for the rain 3rd race off a layoff, Ramon Dominguez in the Irons, and was purchased for half a mildough time for a return on the investment :D
May everyone have a winner
