The move Mage made in Florida Derby was outstanding and only one that a real racehorse can make. With that being said, his gate manners and lack of experience( 3 starts) are a real potential problem. The price will be right and I am using him for 3rd and 4th in tri's and supers. Good luck, sounds like you have an exciting few days later this week.

#14 Angel of Empire is my top pick. He's made significant improvement in every start of his career. If he can take another step as big as the one he took going into the Arkansas Derby, he runs a 105-108 Beyer and wins this race. I love the outside post and hope he can break well and avoid being too far back.

#15 Forte is obviously a must-have on your tickets (no commentary necessary).

#6 Kingsbarns, despite all the disrespect he's getting, has an incredibly advantageous pace set-up. I think he'll be able to steal away up front and be there at the end.

Three long-shots I'll be playing underneath those three favorites:

#8 Mage - awful ride in the FL Derby, arguably ran a better race than Forte
#7 Reincarnate - has enough speed to sit just behind the pace, which projects to be moderate
#11 Disarm - great works, recent improvement, wise guy pick 

The SA Derby invaders #9 Skinner and #10 Practical Move are the wild cards for me in this race. I have decided to take a stand and fade them on my tickets. I much prefer #9 Skinner over #10 Practical Move with the added distance, but he has shown zero ability to avoid and/or overcome adversity in order to win.

Bets:
$25 WPS #14 = $75
$4 Ex 6,14,15/6,7,8,11,14,15 = $60
$2 Ex 7,8,11/6,7,8,11,14,15 = $30
$0.50 Trifecta Box 6,7,8,11,14,15 = $60
Total cost: $225

Best of luck!

Good luck to you and your group.I am sure that you will your probable earnings figured out based on share percentage and placing..If you don't mind sharing with us, what is your percentage and probable earnings? I thought long and hard about joining one of these groups. Always wondered how they are about costs prior to members receiving their pay outs.I decided that I am going to jump in next go-round. Lord knows that I spend more money on a whole lot worse things!

So I first started out buying thru Micro share companies like MRH and Commonwealth. It's an all inclusive purchase that in addition to the purchase price, it will include everything. And for us who have owned horses outright, we know that vet bills alone can sink ya.  Do you make money --- maybe, but probably not. But the experience has been really great. I was in the harness game for about 15 years, and while there are similarities, also many differences. From these microshare companies I have gotten into two groups to own larger amounts.  If you are looking into jumping into the runners for $50-$100, you won't get rich but can have some fun.
I have a horse in Thursday at Churchill, allowance going for $146k. Trained by Steve Asmussen, will be ridden by Joel Rosario. he cost I think $275k as a yearling. Made a small bid last year to run in the Derby but bled in the Arkansas Derby. He was sent off to Coolmoore Farm in Lexington where he was treated in a hyperbaric Chamber for 10 days. He got the winter off after finding thru a standing MRI that he had bone bruising.        Now I tell the story because, obviously on a teacher salary in no way could I afford to be a big partner on this horse. All included and done it cost me $78 to buy a share... I have gotten back about $40. In a recent win, the money from the purse was used to refund the training account. I was never under the expectations to make any money at all -- just have some fun.     What a company like MRH provides is communication. Usually weekly updates and if stabled at the major tracks, often video of works and discussion with trainer, exercise rider, etc.   In his MSW win which was at Churchill Downs as a 2yo, there was a private box setup for us to purchase tickets at a reasonable fee, food, beverages and to meet other owners. On that day he won - and the group was invited to the winners circle.
My derby horse MAGE, is thru a company called Commonwealth. They also own a percntage of Country Grammer who after a tour in the Arab countries is the 5th most money earned ever in horse racing... I know those owners have made their money 4-5 times and the horse is in California training for his next start.
There are facebook pages for these companies and individual pages for horses ---

Just having fun  ! ! !    Three in this coming Thursday thru Saturday.

Small enough field and still is a very tough sprint race today (CD 6th, 327pm), your horse, and at least four other bogeys in the 1,2,7, and the one that brings value is the 5. Any thoughts?

After a review of the Thoro-Graph sheets Angel of Empire is now my number 1 pick, after a pair of 2’s I look for this horse to move forward big time
