Why is Drums of Thunder way over-hyped and NoBiz unbeatable, when Drums Of Thunder was within 1.5 lengths of him last month? Do you know how easy it is to have the result change by a merely 1.5 lengths?

i explained why in my last post, first off the layoff, only 4 career start, and there is no possible way tagg had him 100 percent fit, you as a experinced handicapper should know this... also how many times has drums of thunder ran already 50 ?

Drums of Thunder has been getting some mentions now and his odds may not be appealing. I would still think though that if you like his chances of upsetting this field that you could hook him up in multi-race wagers and get a pretty nice return.

I made my first Derby Future bet this year. I put bets on two horses Drums of Thunder at 41:1 and Zanjero at even larger odds.

At 41/1 I think that is a pretty good play. He has looked pretty solid, and his old man was a stakes winner at 10f (and a consistent 9f horse). I think he may be overbet on Saturday by people trying to beat Nobiz, but he certainly looks like he could be a Derby horse.

50? Wow you were so close! He has run 9 times, winning 4, and finishing second two other times.
Man, I wonder why his owners don't just shoot him.

Experience! Come on now, you've got way more experience than I do.

And Drums of Thunder was coming off a 2 month break after running 8 races in a row. So............?

Kaplan's got fine stats in a 2-Off situation like this too.

So he's still got a right to improve in his second start of his 3yo season, just like Nobiz does, even if it's his 104th start in 8 months.

fyi, CRIS (now BookMaker.com) has Drums of Thunder at 60-1. It's odds on Zanjero are poor, though.

Really? I just made a couple of token bets for fun and something to talk about. Out of curiosity, what are the Zanjero odds?

I actually thought Adore The Gold's 33-1 in the Future Wager was good enough to bet. (I may well think differently tomorrow afternoon.) A couple days later I saw that he was 100-1 at CRIS! I felt fairly foolish. I should have stuck with just the "All others" bet, which was the one I was/am most confident in anyway.

Zanjero is now 35-1. Adore The Gold is also now 35-1, but was 83-1 a day or two ago when I posted about it here.

There are still some big prices if you like the horse: CP West is 85-1; Forty Grams 170-1; Storm In May 90-1; Twilight Meteor 125-1; BirdBirdIsTheWord 65-1; Imawildandcrazyguy 90-1; Ketchican 75-1.

I think my future on Zanjero is at 56 to 1. Which doesn't seem that great. Actually I don't like any of the ones you mentioned either including adore the Gold. Your all/others idea was probably the best bet.

Adore the Gold intrigued me until he drew out there. My question is what exactly is interesting about Divine Master? He has yet to run a race that would put him within 10 lengths of any of these horses.

Well, there was that one time he didn't lose ground in the stretch.....

I think he's pretty interesting for the bottom rungs of the 8fecta.

Sorry... he's interesting to me LITERALLY as I saw him go through the OBS ring back in '05 and liked the way he looked. Love his sire too...

You boys should know me by now.

Nope, wish I did. If he looks good in the paddock tomorrow, I might take a chance for shits and grins, though.

Dude, J, that is your angle.

Send me a text to let me know if he looks good. If he does, then let me know if you're going to bet him.

If you aren't going to, I will post a message from work assuring the entire forum that he is a mortal lock on the win end.

If you are going to, I will remind everyone to leave him off their tickets as he is then gauranteed to run up the track.

I was on vacation, gambling wins/losses were not of paramount importance to me, or I wouldn't have been eight beers deep by the sixth race.

randallscott35 · #58 03-02-2007, 08:35 PM

I sure hope he wins tomorrow with some of the talk in this thread. B/c he should beat this field.

Brian did however display exceptional prowess today with a huge score at gulfstream. Did you catch that one?

He is too modest to mention it, but I will. Its on the big Gulfstream thread in the selections area, along with some other stuff.
