one thing I like about derbies and breeders cup races.. you will get the horse you like at WAY better than usual odds.

you guys are all right. you can't pass up good horses at 15 or 20-1. Tale, court and Visionaire are all great options. Even if Big Brown is great all it takes is one "check" "steady" "took up" or whatever and he's done. Derby is all about Value and if the chalk comes in, who cares? I always bet value. In the Oaks i'd check out little belle & awesome chic, 8-1 and 20-1.

I got a bright idea last night.. yeah I know.. but hear me out...

I can take Garegeyo (whatever) Tale of Ekati AND Monba, put equal amounts on each, say 100 bucks.. and I'd still come out better than putting 300 bucks on big brown. WAY better.

Agreed ...I'll take in my superfecta box Tale of Ekati, Court Vision, Pyro, Visionare & throw in Gayego at a big price out of a ridiculous post.

there was no way in hell I expected tale of ekati to be this high in odds.. I'll wait unitl 20 mintues before post and if he's up there i' unloading... over 30 to 1 for a horse that won the freaking wood memorial is redicious
