Live Handicapping Derby Day

[Melniko]

Some of my best times have been at the track on Derby Day, but in this age of Covid I am playing from home today. Will be posting some of my selections and watching who the rest of you like. Good luck to all - join in on this thread if you have a winner!

cd 3. 4-7 box exacta

 

[Melniko]

Churchill Race 3
$6 WP #5 Koolhaus - if you like the #7 you gotta like this guy, right? Late running type coming up from the Big Easy. But with this one you get his first try stretching out (which his breeding says he should love) and you get 5-1 instead of settling for 2-1. Downside is you don't get Irad.
$1 DD 2,4,5,8/6,9

20/51.60 (+$31.60)

CD Race 4
$6 WP #6 Hay Dakota - torn between this one and the #9. Settled here as he always seems to run his best when second off the bench. Two wins on the course adds to the appeal.
$1 DD 6,7,9,12/4,7

Good start Mel. Keep it going.

Ortiz just gave him too much to do, no good

40/51.60 (+$11.60)

Pimlico Race 1
$5 WP #5 Ran Char - back in the Frock barn, gets an 11 pound weight allowance off last (where he ran well first off the freshening). Hoping the bug boy is patient and he hangs on at the wire.

50/106.60 (+$56.60)

Churchill Race 5
$6 WP #4 Southern Passage - he's just too talented to be 14-1 in this race. May not win, but there's plenty to like.
