    Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby

    another great weekend of racing! also keeneland opens tomorrow..love that track so much!! i love brown almighty in the trans. but lets get back to these two races

    wood: Verrazano is back and coming to NY to try and take this...4-5 ML..3-3...looks like an easy winner...NOT SO FAST...vyjack is the horse to beat. horse has raced around aqueducts track already. home field advantage...love this guy to win by 2 lengths. going to wheel the field with him..hopefully bomber city..last time there was a heavy HEAVY chalk...



    santa: hear the ghost scratched...flashback heavy fav. flashback losing last two races..i think super ninety nine takes this start to finish. if his speed can be spread out throughout..he will take this easily.

    The Wood is the more interesting of the 2 imo because while Verrazano has looked like a beast so far there are a few questions.One, this is a big step up in class for him even if it doesn't look like it.He hasn't faced a field like this yet.Two, it would be wise for Pletcher to have his eye on V's next start and if he wins this with his B race then its gravy.Three is the extra furlong which a couple horses look like they will relish more so than Verrazano.Pretty much the same questions for Vyjack too.


    KEY EX BX or TRI BX(4/2,5,8---2/4,5,8)

    4-Elnaawi 12-1
    2-Normandy Invasion 5-1
    5-Vyjack
    8-Verrazano


    As for the Santa Anita Derby I just think Baffert has too strong a hand.

I see him laying back ,being rated a little better ........and running a much better race , as for super99 r.b. rode him his last two and traveled a good distance . now he jumping off him going with power broker, ? is that the better horse ? or does he have a commitment to power broker, ? ive been committed to goldenscnts ???

    4- Elnaawi is my pick for the upset also. I just that horse is bred to go long. While reading n talking with friends, a lot of them like Normandy Invasion. I also think Mr Palmer has a chance to get in the exotics.

    As for the SA Derby, I can't seem to find a clear cut winner.

    If anyone can rate Flashback it's Gogo.Also don't think much of Leparoux on dirt so it''s a big upgrade to Gomez imo.Don't think Goldencents can rate.

    Thanks for the help at SA to narrow some of the horses down so I could hit the super 15/156/356/347. Didn't play the tri though.
