What would you play? I'm thinking about putting something together, but wondering if, first: it's worth playing and second: who is worth playing to maximize my 50 bucks. Any thoughts or opinions are much appreciated!
I'd certainly listen to Bogey before listening to me but my take is that the Oaks is going to fall apart and the Derby won't. I could be wrong in either (or both) cases, but I would lean more in the direction of closers in the Oaks.
If you are really looking to play 5X5, I'd go:

1 - Joyful Victory
4 - Kathmanblu
6 - Zazu
12 - Plum Pretty
13 - St John's River

with

1 - Archarcharch
8 - Dialed In
13 - Mucho Macho Man
14 - Shackleford
18 - Uncle Mo (if he doesn't scratch, Midnight Interlude if he does)
