LA Derby

My Pal Charlie looks interesting. This will definately be his toughest test (by far), but he has won the last 2 around 2 turns and looks to be moving up the scale form-wise. 20/1 ML doens't hurt matters, either.

Can't play Yankee Bravo. First start on a traditional dirt surface against this field doesn't turn me on.

J Be K is intriging, but I'll stay away. The "1st time around 2 turns" angle ranks high in my book. If he beats me, then he beats me.

I really wish Tale Of Ekati and Majestic Warrior had one race before this one.

I'll box Pyro and My Pal Charlie in the exacta.

Go ahead and buy the Pyro- MPC exacta straight. 3-2.
Because anyone can run 2nd in a rasce when you have a stand-out like pyro.


I'll book the MPC- Pyro exacta for as much as you want. 2-3

I thought about Pyro - MPC straight, but there is just something about MPC that caught my eye. I'm going to stick to playing it both ways.

I'll pass on your offer. Thanks anyway.
