Looking at it now. Rayya has me interested. I mean Bob is the best at what he does.

My Miss Lily
Monomoy Girl
Midnight Bissou
Raya

I like Midnight Bissou and Miss Lily because there is a lot of speed in that race, and they both like to come from off the pace. Too much early pace + no. 14 position makes me think the favorite is vulnerable.

Strangely I miss being a part of that mass of drunken people and losing money drinking gawd awful Mint Juleps.

5 killed my tri as well. Recovered with win bets on 14 though. Hit a pick 3 and came out 90 ahead on the day.

Nice. I only bet the oaks today. After going through the program I just didn't like anything with confidence.

Will be betingr what I didn't today tomorrow.

Just got a text from Twinspires...Mendohlsson has finished the race!

Memo to self: do not bet on UAE horses ever again. Should have learned from Rayya's no showat the Oaks.

But I did bet 20 to win on Justify so broke even on the Derby

Didn’t bet, didnt care enough, and having those type conditions for 144, played a part in the outcome especially after noting, the WPS horses came from 7,6,5 is a coincidence and that 1, 2, 3, 4 finished 11,16,15,13 and that 14, 16,19,20 finished 20,19,17,18 are also coincidences, but it does seem that being at the tip of the arrow was better than being on the sides.

UKO blows dogs, but MBJ, off 3wks, bred for slop, and despite them going 6f in 1:11,still passed 14 horses in a nice performance. That said i woulda loved him at his 30-1 m/l but instead woulda been a toss at that 5 or 6-1 at post time. Maybe it was UKO who yesterday plunked the $25,000 on his nose; lol..
