DERBY NOTES (4/24-25): 'Spell' to Oaks only..

[Scav]

Byk, you see Anak Nakal work today? 46.52 is pretty fast for this horse.

This horse has a legit chance at hitting the board, I really think that Zito let him work himself into shape and now he is starting to blossom....

[slotdirt]

Yeah, his performance in this year's Derby preps have really put him on my list of contenders for next Saturday, Scav. I mean, who doesn't look for an average finish of 6.67 in a horse's three previous races when 'capping the Derby?

At 80/1 and that work, unless the description is "whipped heavily", I am using the horse, plain and simple....

AND, I am even considering putting out the opportunity to all the Smooth Air lovers, a heads up wager between Smooth Air and Anak Nakal

[slotdirt]

I think a more fair bet is a heads up wager betwixt Anak Nakal and Z Humor, the only two potential Derby entrants who have yet to really run a step in any race since the calendar turned to 2008.

Another example of why I am still not a believer in putting much stock in a single workout before the Derby.

You tell 'em, Baby Gorilla!!

Who is talking fair, if I do it, I am going to do it at even money, and probably a $500 total limit, and let people take chucks of it, $100 minimum.....

Anak Nakal is surely an underdog in a match up wager vs Smooth Air...If I had to guess, it would be

Smooth Air -150
Anak Nakal +120

Odds on winning another race before Christmas
Hackercraft -250
Anak Nakal +300

I'll have to remember to pass that along.

I'll take Smooth Air to finish ahead of Anak Nakal in the derby...$20 and two beers at The Horseshoe...payable at the spa meet
