Derby Leans

I think 17 Fierceness is the best horse. His Florida Derby run was impressive. But he hasn’t run 2 good races back to back (look at pps) so in theory he should regress today.

I like 2 Sierra as well. Just wished he had a better price…I think he doesn’t offer great value. Will use him in exotics

My pick is 18 Stronghold. Mid range stalker which I think will be good with this weak field. He will stalk the 17 then pass him on the homestretch…

Other picks I like…11 Forever Young…this horse is for real…if a Japanese horse can win the derby this is the one….he may shock everyone

Longshot…1 Dornoch….grandson of big brown and curlin….he is bred for this….probably sentimental on my side but I think he has a shot

I played these in a Tri box

And threw in a horse that has no business being in this race given the lack of experience. Why in the hell is TO Password entered here? Well, if he happens to be the real deal I will have this little insurance lol

The Derby is always super hard to cash with so many ponies. I faded Mystik so lost quite a bit, but oh well. That was a very fun and exciting race, even being on the losing end.

Stronghold got a terrible ride to say the least. Was hoping to at least get some money back on my WPS.
