Kentucky Derby Thursday update 2

Okay, so given my schedule for the next two days as previously noted, here is the pick to win this year.

I Want Revenge

Favorite has won the last two and 3 of the last 5. I think that repeats again. Have to bet a lot on just a win to make any money as he goes off somewhere in the 2-1 range. Since betting the Derby is all about making money time to figure out which horse of 7 will finish second and make the payout worth it.

Betting strategy at this point - IWR on top of a $5 exacta with 4 or 5 horses underneath ($20 or $25 bet). Then some $1 trifectas with IWR on top and 5 horses for second and 7 or 8 for third. A bet on Flying Private for show, the 3-6-9 bet (probably exacta) and the Baffert-Lukas box exacta (IWR and Flying Private).

If I get a chance tomorrow night will update who the rest of the horses are that will hit the board. Remember bet with your head and not over it.

Later,
JH

It just occurred to me that if I really actually wanted to bet on the KD, I have no idea how to go about it. That's pathetic.

I really do not like this field at all. Hard to make a good bet on a bad field.
