I like him, too, have him in most of my tri's and supers. I have about $400 invested in the Derby this year (which is a lot for me). I just think this is one of the best betting races in years - convinced a big price will win. The trick is figuring out which one. The horses that will kill me are Taiba and Cyberknife - crossed them out entirely.

OK Mel good deal. I am risking $55 this year. $30 on the #1 $10 on the #11 and $15 on the #19. see what goes down.

You know you got to say to yourself if these horses are that good then why do we have two co favorites at 5-1 that tells me this race is not as easy as you think

 

[Melniko]

Very difficult race - payouts will hopefully reflect that!

I th

And the only reason the odds change is because mattress Mack just bet a million dollars on the #3

thought it was 4 million I may be wrong

 

[5thstreetpicks]

Am not sure Jack you may be right

 

[5thstreetpicks]

Think about it the size of the pool the money in the pool $4 million will make the odds change

 

[Melniko]

$321,500 super with the favorite in 2nd and the 3rd choice in 3rd. Wow.
