Who plays the horses - any hot takes or advise?

My advise is play after you've had a few. For instance I hit a $78 exacta today at Will Rogers first race when Town Drunk nosed out Last Call For Alcohol. 😁

If I have heard of the jockey I pick that horse.

then I pick by the best name

if all the names are lame I go for the color of the silks

Little known fact (at least to me): one of this year's Derby favorites is from right here in good ol' Bowling Green, Ky. Name is Epicenter

My 2 favorite horse names ever. You're A Nation. Effinex. Effinex won some big races. The covered it up by moving the syllable break to before the N. Effi Nex. I am quite certain the owner had it after the N making it Effin Ex. The Jockey Club needs to say the name out loud before approving it.

Keep an eye on the Japanese bred horse this yr. It won the UAE derby easy and its grandfather is Sunday Silence.
With there technology and buying horses, theyre due to pull off a win here.
