Happy Derby Day!


Trying to figure out tonight...

Flemington R4
6/1/2,3,5,10
(... and not just because he's a HK Raider... he's pretty damned good).

R5... good luck to Efficient, who I love and to Wall Street who I hope is doing better today!

Sentiment aside and ummm is Precedence running in the Cup on Tuesday cause i do think he's due for a huge win - right (?)... I'll absolutely, positively take Foreteller here.

R6 and yes he is at 1/1 (the 1 of course) and i do like the 6, Perfect Punch, but Sabrage is my one and only Derby boy so that's my grand play of the evening.

My tri is... 4/1/6,7,10,12,13 (had to cut one and the 5 was it so just sayin'...)

R7...NO ONE beats Ms. Joyous but might be worth a little to use 2,7,8,9,12,13 somewhere... still pondering this one.

R8...huge Black Piranha fan... I just don't even want to play this. Small win bet for sentiment sake and that's it.

R9... TT wins it.


Might come back to edit a few of these but my Derby boy and tri stands damnit!

Good luck if you're playing tonight!

[Pedigree Ann]

This is a redboard, but as I perused the PPs and pedigrees, I gravitated to Sangster as the horses who was most likely to win the Derby if Manawanui didn't stay, which I didn't think he would. Did I bet? No, of course not. I'm such an idiot.

(One thing I liked about the pedigree is that he has Affirmed as second damsire. Affirmed was a good sire of runners but not of sales yearlings, so he never got the respect he deserved. Sangster also has Dancer's Image, Nodouble, and Hold Your Peace in his background, other horses who did better than most people think.)
