So, as JG can attest, I've picked 3 straight Derby prep races right. Yeah, I/we had Winning Cause in the Lexington Saturday. I think JG said he won $29+ on $2 WPS ticket. Not a bad payoff.
He wants as much or better on the Derby.
My opening comments on the Derby: Normandy Invasion and Revolutionary. Not in that order.
I like that Revolutionary picked up Calvin last week as rider; I like that both horses have only been out twice in 2013 -- Vyjack looked tired (to name one) in Wood (his third trip of the year)...and I needn't remind you the Derby is longer.
The future line out of Vegas has NI @ 9 to 1, Rev @ 7 to 1. I take that every day. And an exacta?!?!!? Whoa, baby.
But I also like Goldencents -- remembering the California run from I'll Have Another last year -- and its top speed rating of the spring. At 8 to 1, it's a good value, too.
The current favorite is Verrrazano, at 9 to 2. I doubt anyone goes much lower. It's not going to be an odds-on race, but one with money spread over about half a dozen or so contenders.
Value if you pick it right. Right JG?
