I hope everyone garnered info they feel is helping them approach the most unique event in our game. As discussed, I want to swing for fences with outsiders among this odd assembly and remain comfortable with the original quartet I presented last week for the Xpressbet Guide. My Man Sam, Creator, Majesto and Suddenbreakingnews offer a variety of styles and forward progress that make them eligible for success here. I'm adding Mor Spirit, who I've liked from start of career and will use these 5 alone and with Nyquist, Outwork and Brody's in exacta and trifecta savers. I've maintained that this is a Derby with a great potential for chaos and that can even be the case if one of the major players succeeds. Be in a position to capitalize either way by boxing up as many inventive options as you can afford while hooking them up with the keyed favorite(s) you prefer..

I really hope you're right! I'm sitting on a hefty 'All Others' bet from KDFW Pool 2, and any of your first 4 horses would do it for me. In case I haven't said it recently, thanks a bunch for all you do here.
