Twelve races at Churchill Downs today will stretch from 11am until a nightcap scheduled for 7:34pm. Six consecutive graded stakes races — the final three of which are Grade 1s. And along the way you can find a $750,000 guaranteed Pick 6 that begins the day with a handsome $288K carryover from Oaks Day, a $1 million guaranteed Pick 4 that starts with race 7, and a $750,000 guaranteed Pick 3 that starts one race later, all of which conclude with Kentucky Derby 133.
For my part, a few of the horses being used heavily on tickets today include:
Race 3 — Marina Ballerina, who should be a square price behind the logical — yet vulnerable — favorites.
Race 5 — Istan, who enters this on top of his game and now gets Gomez.
Race 7 — Silverinyourpocket, hoping he simply didn’t care for Polytrack in his last two starts.
Race 8 — Absolutely love Pussycat Doll, but think she could get a stern challenge from long shot Sweet Fervor.
In the Derby, my selections are:
1st - Any Given Saturday
2nd - Hard Spun
3rd - Curlin
4th - Street Sense
And if you need help bailing out after the Derby, try using Purely Wild in race 11, and Best Mom in the finale if the race stays on the turf.
So now here is your chance to speak your mind. Who does the StablePass Nation envy in the Run for the Roses? Perhaps more importantly is who don’t you like? And how will you be playing America’s most famous horse race to capitalize at the windows?
Here is your chance to play public handicapper. So who do you like?
