    i dont know how you are figuring he gets the distance but you can get him at 15-1 right now at Betonline. DSI's derby future prices for the top few choices are an absolute joke. Those boneheads still have Flashback listed at 12-1.

    Have to agree that DSI's numbers look low. But from what I have read about BOL, not sure I would want to post up there. Would rather wait for 5D to repost their lines.

    Whats wrong with betonline? I posted up there about a month ago for the sole purpose of placing a derby future which I did. I read that they pay out fast enough and are rated B+ here.

    I see DSi still has Hear The Ghost at 15-1. Unreal.

    Have no experience with them, but there have been quite a few negative BOL threads posted on this forum. Hopefully you encounter no problems with them, but 5D is the best offshore option available imo.

    OK, I will see if I can find some of those threads not that I can do anything about it now. I agree 5dimes is the best and isnt even close as an overall offshore book. I just saw a price at Betonline that I couldnt pass up. 5dimes seems to be very lazy when putting up horse racing futures though.

Spoke about it at least 20 times) No horse even thought about closing( no one caught the horse that stopped at the 1/4 pole). Horse that chased him chipped his knee turning for home and if it was not there, that is where he felt it, when switching back to the right lead.
    Goldencents did not even start to relax until the 5 and 1/2 pole . He might win but if he does he will need to improve at least 5 more lengths. That might happen but why would you take 7-1 for all that to occur?

    No problem my friend. Hope you did not take that as anything but my opinion. I very much appreciate your contribution to this forum and the last thing I would want to do is come off like I know it all because I do not. Far from it.
    I hope that me pointing certain things out allows you guys to be able to see things that you might not have seen before.
    When I reread my post this morning , it might have come off as arrogant. I was really pissed off about something last night that had nothing to do with this. If you read it the way I did this morning, I apologize .
    Best of Luck.

    Off the forum yesterday, so a late response. I did not think your post was arrogant in any way. You were stating your opinion based on many years in the horse game. And I respect that opinion. Thx again.

    Is this the MOST WRONG POST of the year..Id say top 3...

    [QUOTE=mikemca;17908786]Orb and I've Struck A Nerve move into #1 and #2 on the Kentucky Derby points list giving them a spot in the gate as part of All Others.Plus you can eliminate at least 5 or 6 horses that were listed as options that ran like allowance horses and another 5 or 6, if not more, that have a hiccup in training or get injured.That would leave 10-14 horses with a chance of even being in the field ,let alone win.

    Can't believe the field was 8-5.[/QUOTE]


    and this one joins the list.

    I haven't had this much confidence in a pony since Holy Bull
    Verrazano 11/1 in early betting so far. Wonder if that will go down. Surprised he is not taking more action, but the fact that he did not run as a 2 year old may be a factor.

    Good morning, I read some of your threads and thank you for sharing. I'm a recreational horse player , love the game. Actually hit the pick 3 on the Oaks yesterday, played 6/ 4/ with the field and got lucky as 38-1 shot won ,paid 725.i know the derby is a crap shoot and usually pick 2 or 3 long shots and wheel with the field. Made some big scores sometimes,actually had giacommo the 50-1 shot. So do you have any opinions. Doing some handicapping this morning. I actually like Normandy invasion. Love Chad Brown/ Castellano combo. He just missed to Verrazona who has post 14 at 4-1, and I have post 5 , At 12-1. My first instinct have to delve further.

    We might have been a little off last year even if Orb made the ALL OTHERS prop the winner but the theory proved true this year.Only 2 of the 23 horses in Derby Pool 1 are still pointing to the derby in Cairo Prince and Ride On Curlin.
