I feel the same way. Time to make some money. I love Derby Day. I will post the "pick that pays" after post positions are drawn.

I tend to be very biased towards horses that have won the Arkansas Derby though.



Creator didn't show up last year until the last race. I was on him early, but got jaded after he finished like 17th in the derby.

Patch is no joke. Everbody was high on Girvin, patch can beat him in a longer race. I hope he makes it to the Bellmont.

Creator had a weird career. It took him 6 races to break his maiden, then he shows up and wins the Arkansas Derby. I ended up betting him in the Belmont just because he was at 17-1, but I'm glad I didn't bet any of his other races. Seems he either showed up big and won or wasn't a factor.

I'm interested to see what the ML odds are after they draw posts. I don't really watch much racing outside of Oaklawn until about Kentucky Derby time.

Creator sure showed up for me in the Arkansas derby. I don't laugh at grade 1 wins. Had some serious trouble in the derby with mo Tom.

Glad I had him at Belmont too.

I think Patch is going to be a nice horse. I don't think he's fast enough right now.

Also, Draw time!!!!

I bet on xpressbet

Most probably use twinspires. All my horses drew pretty far out with the exception of Hence. I guess better outside and clear than inside and stuck.

Who was the gem last year that emailed me the PP sheet before the Derby?

Anyone want to earn Karma for the afterlife and hook me up?

Yes.

Not sure if he's good enough but I have definitely fallen for him.

McCraken drew well, thank god. I'm a little worried about 17 for IWC
