![]() Hey Byk, what did you think of Liasions work?
I heard some pretty interesting information about that horse from a reliable person, and from what I'm reading the last two days, he's apparently taken kindly to the track at CD now. |

Gary Young brought up a good reason to be interested in Liaison: "He's a plug.. but he's a plug that will keep coming." As I wrote in the XpressBet Derby Wagering Guide, there are some great candidates for 3rd/4th in this race and Liaison may be working himself into that picture. (As an aside, I guess no one has looked at the free XpressBet Guide based on the Sabercat and Done Talking comments earlier in the thread)..

![]() It's free to download and there's lots of great info in it. Daily updates, which are important because we had to have analysis turned in last Tuesday, start tomorrow. I'm very unhappy about the reports on El Padrino, but the picks were an attempt to send a message about how to approach the race. It's a near certainty that 4 of the top 6-7 choices or similarly obvious horses will NOT comprise the super. Horses like Sabercat, Done Talking, Liaison or Rousing Sermon rumble home 4th -- sometimes 3rd -- all the time in the Derby. It's a necessity to envision how those types get in the exotics because the Make Music for Mes (4th; 30-1), Imawildandcrazyguys (4th; 29-1), Denis of Corks (3rd; 27-1), Jazils (4th-DH; 24-1) or Don't Get Mads (4th; 29-1) are almost never part of people's suggested top finishers.
Here's what I wrote.. TIME RIGHT FOR 'ROMANS' DERBY CONQUEST By Steve Byk At the Races with Steve Byk (SiriusXM) ANALYSIS: A tumultuous run-up to the Triple Crown season has left the 2012 Derby with more uncertainty than usual as the BC Juvenile trifecta and winter book heavyweights HANSEN, UNION RAGS and CREATIVE CAUSE suffered armor-denting defeats en route to Kentucky. A host of emergent, well connected players including BODEMEISTER, GEMOLOGIST, I'LL HAVE ANOTHER, DADDY NOSE BEST, TAKE CHARGE INDY and DULLAHAN all arrive at the Downs with solid credentials, enthusiastic supporters and legitimate cases to wear the rose blanket. MAIN CONTENDERS: Identifying the contenders is easy with the 9 above all capable. The question is how to approach the wagering once the post positions are drawn and you establish an anticipated pace scenario. The presence of fleet TRINNIBERG compromises a moderate early pace for HANSEN and/or BODEMEISTER with the prompting presence of I'LL HAVE ANOTHER, TAKE CHARGE INDY and GEMOLOGIST assuring a serious opening 6f. The second flight contenders led by UNION RAGS will be attacking in the final half mile and closers will get the opportunity to reach contention. With a meltdown highly possible, DULLAHAN, a half brother to 2009 Derby hero Mine That Bird from the team that finished 3rd with Paddy O'Prado in 2010, looms the choice to run by them all. VALUE PLAYS: Since 2006, top Oaklawn prep finishers have compiled a record of 16/1-2-2-1 on First Saturday and rallying SABERCAT, whose sire Bluegrass Cat was 2nd to Barbaro at 30-1, can charge the exotics. EL PADRINO has the attractive 'post hype' look of a horse heralded in February and forgotten in April and trainer Todd Pletcher has authored 2 big tote Derby placements before with Bluegrass Cat and Invisible Ink. DONE TALKING and ROUSING SERMON are blueprints of the kind of runners that annually fill out the Derby superfecta at 40-1. SELECTIONS: 1. DULLAHAN 2. EL PADRINO 3. SABERCAT 4. DONE TALKING WAGERING STRATEGIES: ($100) $1 Superfecta: DULLAHAN with EL PADRINO, SABERCAT, UNION RAGS, BODEMEISTER, HANSEN, TAKE CHARGE INDY with EL PADRINO, SABERCAT, UNION RAGS, BODEMEISTER, HANSEN, TAKE CHARGE INDY with DONE TALKING, ROUSING SERMON ($60) $4 Exacta: DULLAHAN with EL PADRINO, SABERCAT, UNION RAGS, BODEMEISTER, HANSEN, TAKE CHARGE INDY, GEMOLOGIST, I'LL HAVE ANOTHER, DADDY NOSE BEST, MARK VALESKI ($40)
