Hearing the word off the street The #8 First Mission will be a SCR today. Not sure if truth or a rumor. Good luck BOA12 if he runs.

I hope he avoids that street.

If not, then Mage goes from 8/5 ML to 4/5 ML.

B-O-A...how over-priced do you see Mage here?

As a horse-outsider, I'm disappointed with the demise of the Triple Crown races. Would it help to spread the races out over the summer? The competition used to be fierce over the Derby/Preak/Belm.

Now, it seems like trainers don't want to run these horses on short turnaround. I know Pletcher is a part of that. Why risk RUNNING the horse when BREEDING is a better investment?

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 05-19-23, 11:50 AM

Looks like Blazing Sevens, from the 7 post, will win. Might go with a cold 7-3 exacta,.

**Foxx** · 05-19-23, 12:27 PM

7 horse field with just 1 horse that ran in Derby. Very uninspiring.

I'm more excited for the Black Eyed Susan today.

Yes, terrible. Did the roids kill off all these horses?

Tradition trumped by $$$$ is a 100% correct reasoning IMO too CTG.

Perhaps their old ladies have a hand in this new found concern of future earnings over the instant gratification of being the Winner In

Their Chosen Profession. A troubling trend.

GL, b-o-a. Hope you cash.

And thanks for your comment above. Yes, strikes me as very strange. I always view the Derby as one of the must-watch events of the year.

There has always been such buildup to the Derby. And that historically extended to the Triple Crown pursuit. Think about the great rivalries like Alydar vs Affirmed.

Such a watered-down field now. And a whole new set of names. Stretch it out over 10 weeks, if that would encourage more horses to race.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 05-20-23, 07:50 AM

1. National Treasure 7-2
2. Chase the Chaos 50-1
3. Mage 4-5
4. Coffeewithchris 20-1
5. Red Route One 8-1
6. Perform 10-1
7. Blazing Sevens 4-1
8. First Mission SCRATCHED

**Seattle Slew** · 05-20-23, 07:51 AM

Mage will be way overbet, likely 3-5, but I don't see him losing. Might play Perform underneath and hope he picks up the place at around 10-1.

Going to study up more on this race today. But one thing is clear to me:

*Going to try to beat MAGE.

Mage has to be the easiest horse for the public to back (ever).

Leaves time for yard work CTG W/late first bet. Suggest some earlier plays to avoid that situation.

It wasn't that way until I hit post. It is the only one that does that, that I have noticed.

What would help that pick would be your choice of any or all of Our National Treasures;

1. Sheryl Crow's "stevenash McQueen" 4cash.

2.Counting Crow's "Mr Jonez to win some bonez.

3. Black Crow's " Remedy" against all enemies both real and imagined.

A lot of sites are like that, not just here, financial sites, business sites, they're programmed to assume when a user types in those three letters, BkofAma is implied and defaults to that.

I just type in BOA12.

Crazy is as crazy doez.

AI out of control? Chaos May ensue until June.

Of course I hear horse's whisper, never loud enough to matter.

The Killers are my favorite band, bar none.
During that grunge era of the early to mid 90's Counting Crows IMO were the best, and I still love them.
Adam Duritz is so underrated it's criminal, I'm a huge Van Morrison fan as well, and Duritz has that Van Morrison vibe going on.

The word 'epic' gets thrown around a little to much, it applies to their CD "August..."

"Believe in me Mr. BOA12, 'cause I don't believe in anything,
and I wanna be someone to believe, to believe..."

"i wanna be Bob Dylan, Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky"

Wild Nights With A Brown Eyed Girl Vanning' 2me. Me and Mr Jones thank you.

I love Van's "Cleaning Windows" myself.
His work in the movie Belfast was brilliant as well.

Glad to post the vid for ya Mr. Jones, oops, my bad, Mr. BOA12.

It's not my intention to hijack your thread, this is where I jump off and wish you nothing but good luck.
And may the horse be with you.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 05-20-23, 01:39 PM

Found this video of the 1978 Derby. Part of the great Affirmed vs Alydar series:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55_vvvCLjQU&ab_channel=HorseRacing

Can you imagine being an 18-year old Cauthen being on the back of that horse? Props to him, can only imagine what was going through his mind.
