Many of you probably assume that we have a contentious relationship with Churchill because they won’t let us use their tracks (or the tracks that are part of their simulcasting compact) in our tournaments. We don’t.That is their decision, and we respect that. We don’t agree with their thinking, but we realize it’s their right to make that call. We lose something by not being able to use their tracks…and we like to think they lose something by us not including them.
Have you looked at the form for Derby Mr. G&T? Any leans?

Thanks for HT info, EZ. That's too bad. I would have attracted a lot of players.
I just looked at the form and with Omaha Beach being out, at first look, I like Maximum Security even more. I also find WinWinWin very interesting. I like the fact Pimental is back on him. I think he knows that horse better than Ortiz and can get a better effort out of him. With that said, I am still looking at the others. With rain coming most likely, a lot can change. DRF Race of the Day experts picks are: 8- Tacitus; 14- WinWinWin and 5- Improbable. Interestingly though, none of them picked Game Winner as their top choice (including Mike Watchmaker). What are your thoughts??

OK thx for early take. AT first glance at the Brisnets liked Vekoma, Tacitus, Max Security and Spinoff looks interesting. Waiting for some info to come out like the Timeform rundown. Also waiting to see if track comes up wet. Touch base closer to the race. GL.

DRF Race of the Day Churchill Down Race 11 Kentucky Oak 1 1/8 on dirt
The experts at DRF Race of the Day picked: 10- Champagne Anyone (ML 6-1), 3- Lady Apple (ML 20-1), and 8- Motion Emotion (ML 15-1). Interestingly, none of them pick the ML favorite 4- Bellafina (ML 2-1) as their top selection. They all seemed to agree that although she is very talented, but the expected hot pace, they don't want her at a short price. Looking at the form, I have to think that there will be a contested pace with so many with similar running style. I am going play 3 horses that 3 different style hoping to beat the favorite and get a price.
$5 WP 2- Chocolate Kiss (ML 20-1)- odds may come down since everyone is expecting a pace collapse. Hoping will roaring to the finish no good
$5 WP 13- Serengeti Express (ML 8-1)- expecting the odds to go higher, think most will overlook her. Hoping she will be up front and finish winner, got back $107.00
$5 WP 14- Restless Rider (ML 6-1)- odds will probably still around 6-1. Hoping for her to stay midpack and out of traffic and get first run no good
Kentucky Oaks/Derby DD
$3 DD 2,13,14/7,14,17 ($27.00) still alive

Good call on Oaks. Are you still leaning Max Security for the big race? I am going with #8 Tacitus and boxing with Max Security. GL

I’m alive in the DD with 7- Maximum Security (pays $317), 14- Win Win Win (pays $750) and 17- Roadster (Pays $525). I’m hoping for 14- Win Win Win cuz it pays the most. But I think I should have included 5- Improbable (pays $279). Your pick, Tacitus (pays $218) kind of worries me too. As of now, I’m pretty much set on Maximum Security and Win Win Win cuz every time I go back and look at the form, those two keep coming up as my top choices.

I hope Country House will be the favorite cuz I am still gonna bet Maximum Security. Max is the best horse in this year group without a doubt. Just disappointed in Win Win Win. Just can't believe they would take him down when Country House was not affected by the incident. I like Bill Mott and all, but his horse did not deserve the win.
