kentucky derby future pool 3

JBEX · 01-21-24, 07:10 AM

born noble is my pick for this round but one of the other two you picked (knightsbridge) has the same thing going on which was discussed briefly in str's thread yesterday..pedigree there too and in addition he won at churchill downs in early november which is even better than BN's later GP win ..say this because they were 2yos and at that stage give some credit to things done earlier

I am doing my homework today on these and will post my plays. One that I was very interested in is #7 Catching Freedom. This colt has some siblings that are runners but apparently I am not the only one high on him as he is currently at 28-1 which is bit pricey for my taste. I think Good Magic is promising as a sire. GL gang!!!!

Born Noble is very interesting. First foal for the dam trained by Pletcher. Current odds @52-1 looks inviting.

both he and catching freedom cost a boatload and are by the same sire ..constitution

good magic an elite sire..remember you mentioned him last year

I took him because of your comments, Like the fact that he is getting back on the workouts as well as knightsbridge, Liberal arts and catching Freedeom. I have Knight and liberal from earlier pools... and with liberal arts odds at 70-1 right now may just bet him again.
With that being said all others are 7/2..... just thinking about the baffert runners who have not been transferred yet......

batt33 · 01-21-24, 05:55 PM

Who did you go with Pig pen?...

batt33 · 01-21-24, 06:09 PM

Hit the early p-5 at Sa.... so took a shot and added on.....
1, 4 ,22,31, 36.....
Do I hope to win well hell yes..... but sharing and having "pops" being able to share in my bets and give a couple....... well life is too short... dad is 83....
so... yes I spread my bets.... If I lose well so be it.... but keeps him engaged and "tracking" the preps....and the ever lasting battering between son and father going on...

Best Future bets I ever hit.... California Chrome and I'll have another....

Guys I messed up and went to watch the Detroit/T Bay game at a friends house and forgot to jump on my phone and make my plays. I will post the ones I liked:

Born Noble
Catching Freedom
Forever Young
Locked

Some of the odds finished a tad low. I will just sit back and root for you guys to pop a nice score.

no problem batts

domestic product is running in the holy bull later in the card

batt33 · 02-03-24, 11:24 AM

oops on DP got my races mixed up!

batt33 · 02-03-24, 06:10 PM

Well, I can't complain about how Domestic Product and Liberal arts ran. Domestic Product closing into a slow pace and Liberal arts closing despite so much mud in and on his face that I'm surprised he saw where he was going!
Nysos ..Wow what a race! asked and he delivered... shut down the final 8th... No doubt he would be the favorite for the Kentucky Derby .... Thanks CDI... for taking some oomph out of the derby trail.....

nice efforts by both of yours and hopefully fierceness is off the trail ..liked the way mine ran considering a 1 turn mile is the toughest distance/layout combo and he was pressed for 6 furlongs and just missed ..not sure if that's a race that will have taken too much out of him but it is only the 1st leg
..locked (another pletcher) will probably run sometime this month and anxious to see him make his 3yo debut

batt33 · 02-06-24, 08:55 PM

I was Hoping Born Noble would get there for my horizontal bet!

Interesting to see the NTRA 3 year old poll, Baffert horse on top as well as Nysos should be.

A little bet of # 36 ( timberlake looked good!) on a side note seize the grey didn't run a bad race for the first time back for the "coach"

JBEX · 02-28-24, 06:09 AM

locked will be making his 3yo debut on saturday in the fountain of youth..2nd or a "good" 3rd and he'll probably go forward ..might be a good set up with lots of speed in the race..R14 @ 6:10

batt33 · 03-08-24, 07:14 PM

Domestic Product is the morning line favorite for the Tampa Bay Derby, Hopefully he takes another step up!

Cheap entertainment! Yeah the odds for the Tampa Derby are a little low.... I think.

batt33 · 03-09-24, 07:42 PM

well sorta like a chip and a chair... Domestic product has a spot if he stays healthy.....

Wow nice run by Catching freedom! I have a little on him in the future bets thanks to you!

Hey batt, glad you have him. I got him @50-1 for the Derby at a sports book. He looked good. I am a bit concerned about his break from the gate. If he falls behind like he did yesterday it will be difficult for him to work a trip and get up on the first Saturday in May. Good luck!!!!!!!

Hopefully they school him a little from the gate... switched leads a little better this time than previous races! love our odds!

Yes sir, I think we have some value as I believe his odds will be much shorter Derby day and as far as I have heard his next event will be the first Saturday in May!!!!!!
