Another highly suspicious loss with the UNDER 155 as WGBay and A&M combine for 44 points in the last 7 minutes of a blowout. A&M shooting with a 20 point lead in the first 10 seconds of every possession. Refs calling ridiculous 'breathed on him' fouls on both teams. The line closed 152.5. There was NO MONEY BET ON THE UNDER!
Went 3-2 Friday, 4-6 for tournament.
Saturday plays...
Wichita St. -2
Indiana +3.5
Butler +7.5
2 Derby prep races this weekend(1 each day). The Rebel stakes on Saturday at Oaklawn Park looks like a very competitive race and I have a longshot I like but will wait for scratches to be posted tomorrow before deciding. Post time isn't until 7:06est so will post thoughts on race sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Right, right, right, right, right.
Because at no point during the 15 hours between this post (you were logged in here all day) and your zany “I posted the opposite of what I picked mistake” did you click on this thread and scroll past your own post. No siree, honest “mistake” there! I mean, who doesn’t post the opposite team of their wager?
You would have counted it as a win anyway.
Oh, and thanks for taking Pitt yesterday. I noted this when I was texting out your fades to my friends. Half of them didn’t even want to watch the game.
Uh, clearly it was a mistake as seen by my response to Wabash on the game....any normal person can see that. And any normal person can see that when I noticed the mistake the game was about 4 mins in and tied. But thanks for the laugh that you have friends you are texting. Nobody believes that. Even though Scott has asked you to leave one thread alone without your usual cancering....you still can't do it. Nice work Jett.
Where are your picks?
"Cancering"
I like that word. I'm going to use it for a different meaning though.
"Cancering" = When the SU Winner of a game is no longer in doubt, and a player or ref on the court does something completely unnatural or unnecessary to turn your winning bet into a loser.
I had the Rockes -7 and the Twolves +9 yesterday and with the game sitting at 8 with a few seconds left Ricky Rubio hit a wide-open 3, cancering my middle.
I lost my lock UNDER in the Texas A&M game last night because A&M kep hoisting 3s and driving to the basket as if they were down by 20 instead of up by 20. That, combined with the constant ridiculous whistles, cancered my wager.
Maybe I should START smoking cigarettes to combat all this cancering!

Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park race 10 post time 7:06est
This is a very competitive race where 7 of the 14 starters ran against each other last time out in the G3 Southwest at Oaklawn. The top 3 from that race(Suddenbreakingnews, Whitmore and American Dubai) will be the ones to beat. Suddenbreakingnews and Whitmore are both deep closers and there is plenty of pace here to set up their closing styles. Cupid, trained by 5 time Rebel winner Bob Baffert, is a classy colt by Tapit who scratched from last weeks San Felipe to run here instead. Takes a big step up in class here but I think will definitely be a factor here. The horse I like set the pace and weakened late to finish 5th in the Southwest when adding blinkers for first time in his first start this year. He broke his maiden on the turf last fall at Kentucky Downs and then went right to a G3 race finishing 3rd behind Airoforce in the Bourbon at Keeneland. His first try on dirt was in the BC juvenile against the best 2 year olds and he ran 10th beaten just 5 lengths. As I said in his first start this year he set a fairly quick pace and weakened but what I like is his beyer still improved from last year so I think this horse will take another step forward today and could score at a nice price. ML is 20-1.
#6 Siding Spring WPS
will also play an exacta box using Siding Spring, Cupid, Suddenbreakingnews and Whitmore.

I was hoping for Whitmore to go by him since the exacta would have paid a little more, but I was also impressed with how he dug in and found more for the win. This was his first test against winners and it wasn't the strongest field but still a decent one. The time was actually faster than 2 previous stakes races for older horses, so that's impressive also. He is by Tapit, who also sired pre derby favorite Mohaymen.
