Yes. You can't have more than 12 betting interests in Arkansas. If they couple those two it keeps them from having to use a mutuel field. Someone should let them know it's 2011.

That's what I figured. Is that morning line for the race out yet?
I'll guess the Factor is listed around 9-5 as the favorite, and will probably be bet down to close to even money by post time.

EDIT: I see that they made the Factor 7-5, which seems realistic.

I still like Archarcharch in the Arkansas Derby.

I can't wait to see The Factor in this race....maybe Dance City might try him on the front end???? I am really interested to see how The Factor does in the stretch....I am hoping he is the real deal.

Nice call didn't see the race yet. I liked him too. Can't bet on oak. fhttps://www.ebetusa.com/racing/rom . Had a ruff day working

I think Sway Away could have made a better showing if he didn't go all in at the 3/8 pole, way premature move. I couldn't believe how bad that race call was I thought the sound went out on my TV, he's brutal.

I dont know about TVG people, but their stream was non existent to horrible during the race. This is why these races should be shown on TV, probably a million people using the same feed for the race, created alot of latency in connection.

Will J P's Gusto still move on to the Derby (he has enough earnings) and keep the blinkers while employing the same pace tactics he employed today?

He was 33 to 1 today and should be a higher price in the Derby (even with all the stupid money that gets bet on the Derby).

Time for everyone to get off the Elite Alex bandwagon.

Calvin Borel will now need a mount for the Derby.

I have to drive 90 minutes to lay down a bet on a race, but plenty of ice cold beer all the way.
