BDP,

I was looking at the #16 'Dennis of Cork'. He seems like a good value to throw around. What do you think about him?

I am actually more interested in what you have to say...

after looking at this thing for way too long, I believe that Big Brown would win hands down if he runs his race. with this many horses in the race its anyone race. I am looking for value and I am liking cool coal man, and Z humor.

I might change or add a horse by tomorrow

Heres what I,m going with guys.Playing triple key boxes.The 20-9-19 are my keys .
MY boxes are as follows:
20 must win boxed with 9-19-12-17-6-2-1
9 must win boxed with 20-19-12-17-6-2-1
19 must win boxed with 9-20-12-17-6-2-1
cost $126 for 1/2 the triple.I got these from a computer program a friend of mine uses for capping.He plays nothing but triples and supers.Last year he had over $50,000.00 in w-2 G,s he had to claim on his taxes.I know I did them for him.Thats not figuring in his losses of course which were also substantial.He does hit some big ones though. he told me that he,s been running his program for 20 years and this is the first year it ever picked a favorite on top. Big brown for those interested.

I looked at big brown, but hes coming out of the 20spot. Hes got plenty of room on the outside, but Im thinking he'll take the first turn so wide, he'll end up running way more than the mile and a quarter. If he sprints to the front, I dont think he'll have enough left in the stretch....

Alright fellas, had a death in the family and am in NC on vaction right now, been a long few days.

Here's what I'm going to go with today.

I like #4 Court Vision across the board today. $5 W, $10 P, $15 S Gomez is my favorite jockey and you have to give him a chance here.

Going to play a exacta box with 4,9,10, 20 same thing with the tri and a mixture of those on teh super. Pretty much throwing the chalk in there with my pick.

Don't have any time to really discuss and I apologize for not getting anything posted sooner, like I said, it's been a long few days. Good luck today guys.

I also like Gayego but from the 19th post position I don't think he'll be able to do it.

Good luck guys.

Nice hit on the #16. Very unfortunate for the Eight Belles, pretty good race. Big Brown looked pretty strong from that 20 spot. My plays were horrible this time around. Oh well, try to come back for the Preakness in a few weeks.
