Oxbow by 5 lengths.  Overanalyze to place and Carve to show with War Academy in fourth.

Oxbow if he runs his race, but I do not think this will be the main goal for DWL for this horse....no matter how he runs I am betting him in the KD.  I really think the horse to bet in this race is Den's Legacy......if he is 6-1 or higher that is who I will wager on.  I love Oxbow...but not in this race....his race is in just over 3 weeks in Louisville!

Win ticket on Overanalyze or Den's Legacy, which ever has better odds. Also going to have a few bucks on T Bling to Win

Trifecta:

Overanalyze, Den's Legacy wt

Overanalyze, Den's Legacy, T Bling, Carve, Oxbow wt

Overanalyze, Den's Legacy, T Bling, Carve, Oxbow, War Academy

In times of late, asmussen has showed up at the festival with business on his mind. Today was evidence that supports the idea that he might do it again this year. I don't know about carve (dont get me wrong, I'm not dismissing him) but I'm gonna throw some at him in the undercard. I'm sure frank will let everyone know so the uneducated public can climb on the bandwagon though.

No faster way to see your odds just bottom out than the track announcer picking your horse

There hasn't been a hotter jock than Ricardo Santana Jr either.  5 winners on yesterday's card alone.  And beaten by a neck in race 1 or would have been 6.

I like a 2-9-10 Trifecta (War Academy, Overanalyze, & Oxbow).

As of right now, I like War Academy over the camera-shy Oxbow, Overanalyze, Den's Legacy and Falling Sky.  The race sets up well for War Academy and he's well drawn. 

2 with 4,5,9,10 with 4,5,9,10.  Also 9,10 with 4,5,9,10 with 4,5,9,10.  Also exacta boxing 2-9-10. 

This group's early speed calculations, at least on paper, bunch them up pretty well, giving War Academy the perfect setup if he's good enough. 
  4       6     10    9     3    8     7    2      5      1
-16,   -15,   39   44   46   63   72   75   135   142

Against this group?  Frac Daddy has a legitimate shot at a price.  KD winner isn't among this bunch unless War Academy is a freak.

Most true statement I've heard in a while....

That being said, I will play Falling Sky but Frac Daddy will get a look as well.

I really think Texas Bling may be in the mix.

Northern Spur winner got a better Beyer than Arkansas Derby winner.  In fact, Arkansas Derby was only the sixth fastest race on a 12 race card.  That's pathetic.
