I'm going to try to beat the likely favorite, Forte, tomorrow. I don't like his pedigree for this 10 furlong trip and there is some thought that the colt, who has won five races in a row including the Breeders Cup Juvenile last Fall has not shown improvement. I will still include him in my horizontals defensively and underneath my top choices in the trifecta and superfecta. One other negative of Forte is that his rider, Irad Ortiz Junior, who had been winning at a very high rate at Gulfstream and elsewhere. had a horrible meet at Keeneland, losing with many, many favorites.
I'm going with Two Phil's, despite the poor grammar, as I love that his sire Hard Spun is a great stamina influence as shown by the fact that his progeny have won 22% of their marathon races. Second choice is Tapit Trice who will get a lot of well-deserved support. I hope to be alive to those three plus Kingsbarns and the Japanese colt Dermo Sotogake in the horizontals (Pick Three, Pick Four, etc).
Good luck to all who place a bet tomorrow.

Forte, the favorite, was scratched this morning by the state vet--too bad as we were hoping he'd take a lot of $$$ and finish up the track

More attention paid to blood lines at Churchill Downs today than at Westminster Abby.🙂 Thanks for including us during the "Triple Crown" horse racing season.

Ahhh--came so close today as I thought Two Phil's could prevail when he took the lead in the stretch......
Edit: Be sure to tab Two Phil's for the Preakness and especially the Belmont Stakes

Preakness coming up shortly. Mage looks like he wil be very tough to beat at short odds. Maybe. 3-1-6-5 super will pay decently.

One sure thing. The track will be less crowded today.

Really surprised that Mage is 9/5. Maybe the bettors know something I don’t know or maybe the computer $$$ had yet to kick in
