Derby less than 2 weeks away!
« on: April 22, 2026, 09:24:07 PM »
I've been trying to narrow down where i'll put my money in this years Kentucky Derby. I've been reading charts, watching races, and listening to owner/trainer comments as we get closer to the big day. I expect a full field with "Renegade" to be the chalk after his victory in the G1 Arkansas Derby. One horse I find interesting is "So Happy", a $20,000 yearling sale by the underrated trainer Mark Glatt. I expect him to be about 15-1 with one of my favorite jocks, "Money" Mike Smith. Still capable at 60 years young. There are others like Pavlovian and Emerging Market who I am keeping a close eye on. So back to studying. Good luck to all you gamblers out there!

Danon Bourbon.

Fast or wet track.

Lightly raced and undefeated and carried the 126lbs and won with ease each and every time.

Is a fucking monster.

Doesn't get demolished in the stampede, then...

The end!  ;D

Haven't seen much chatter about the OAKS! I was surprised to see that with the race carded later in the evening the post time temperature is expected to be 39-40 degrees. Inside info on training schedules could be an important angle. A chilly race is better than no race I guess 🤷
