Default ok, I admit, I need some help here...

1. Conveyance- Why is he 12-1? I do not like him on paper. He doesn't seem to want anything to do with a mile and a quarter. Is there something that I am missing?

2. Jackson Bend-Why is my gut telling me to watch this horse? I DO NOT like him on paper. Again, am I missing something?

3. Super Saver-WHY DO I LIKE THIS HORSE? I don't like front runners!

4. Awesome Act - I don't know what to make of this horse.

I haven't handicapped a race in a long time. Thanks for any help.

Buffy, good to have you back! It's been a while...

The only answer I have is Jackson Bend is one of those horses that always tries, he will not give up. I think he'll finish ITM.

Just my two cents. Welcome back!

Thanks DC.

I don't think I am going to actually bet the Derby this year. Just going to see how my picks do. Preakness maybe.

Can't say as I blame you... Of course the years I just "watch" and not bet are the times when I end up picking the winner
