I watched all races. Untapable may have hit near a 110 beyer--if it stays the same today I think we'll see some fast times. After anguishing over how to play the big race, I've come to the conclusion that Tapiture is a highly overlooked horse and will include him in win and place. His rebel trip was absolutely unfair to him--the worst trouble any contender has faced...and he still ran well. I don't put much stock in the AK derby. Asmussen is getting shit on and after his win yesterday I feel the race gods are on his side. Tapiture has one of the top 3 pedigrees for this race...plus the buckpasser x gene. I may kick myself later, but I will play the bulk of my exotics with Tapiture and Chrome on top and bottom----intense holiday, ROC, MD, Candy Boy, Uncle Sigh and Danza underneath. All of those horses had great works (Chrome questionable with his works--he is definitely NOT Orb).

Like I said, Wicked String wouldn't hit the board. Chrome is the real deal
This is a very good story for racing.very humble beginnings for all involved. Horse was geared down and cruised to victory just like his previous starts. Will be a heavy favorite at the preakness.
yesterdays outcome was logical featuring the first , second and third choice in the super and the bomb was just about a mirror image of last years golden soul bomb...i imagine lots of people had lucrative days yesterday. I cashed a large future wager from November and some small pick 3's.
NBC coverage has to go. Actual inrace is great but the Johnny weir fashion crap was seriously over the top.
anyone going to the preakness for the first time shoot me a pm and I can walk ya through the do's and don'ts of the preakness from a 10 year veteran.

So I played the last race (maiden) after the Kentucky Oaks and bet a trifecta. I had figured out the race and had singled 11 over a few combinations. I liked the 8, 7 and 10 and thought I had the 7 in place and after the race was excited that I had the trifecta. Turns out I didn't actually have the 7, but was paid anyway as a consolation ($245). The pool was over $600,000.....which begs the question can one scoop a trifecta pool? I know you can scoop the superfecta but wasn't sure about the tri. If it is possible, then this by far is the worst blunder of my entire life. Someone please tell me its not possible to scoop a trifecta pool.
