War Pass made a statement in the BC! Will we get "Back to Back" BC Juvy winners to be in winner's circle the 1st Saturday in May?

Zito has even said that this one has TC distance limitations. He's a hell of a speedball though, that's for sure. Back him up to a mile and he looks unbeatable, so far.

If you can get 100-1 or better on a horse you really like, it's worth a shot. But there is no doubt that the Kentucky Derby Future Wager offered by Churchill Downs will feature more than one terrible wagering opportunity that the public will run to the windows to take advantage of.

I can see why someone might toss $100 around, like 4 $25 wagers, could be the best $100 you have ever spent from a juice perspective starting from about January until the first saturday in May.

If you like War Pass then 20-1 is a heck of a better option now than getting 8-1 in the first Derby Future Pool when he either will have only run in the 6.5 furlongs Hutcheson where he'd likely romp or won't have even raced again yet. I'd much rather take a shot at 100/1 on an impressive maiden winner here than play the Derby Future Pools at much lower odds.

Depends... by far my most satisfying win ever (and close to most profitable) was Smarty Jones at 150-1 in January when I KNEW he was the best 3YO in America. The casinos learned a lot from that though (by all accounts, they took a beating on him winning)... horses that would normally be 100-1 or 150-1 after an impressive win are now 50-1 or less.

It isn't something you place your stake on but for 1/2 or a normal win bet, it's an entertaining proposition.

This Saturday will be exactly 6 months from Derby 2008. I like these odds and why not take a chance.

War Pass sure was impressive and I believe he will remain sound. I personally think we could be looking at greatness at mile or shorter.

If I had $100 to piss away, I would play it this way into these odds.

$20 Adriano - 250/1
$20 Coal Play - 125/1
$20 Sam's Passion - 150/1
$40 Hyrule - 75/1

2009 Kentucky Derby -

$100 on Colonial Klink - 10,000/1
