Mine That Bird is well set up to win this race - the pace won't be blistering and there is no clear front-runner, so he'll have the opportunity and the room to unleash a big late move under a very confident and red-hot Calvin Borel. There's not a ton of value in betting the Derby winner to win, though, because his already low win price will be bet down further. By keying him on top of an exacta, a trifecta and a superfecta we can look to maximize our potential return. It's an all or nothing approach, but that's the best way to go when you like a heavy favorite and aren't willing to settle for peanuts.
