When it comes to the Derby, I’m always on the lookout for Hall of Fame trainers at big odds. Extra bonus if they haven’t had a Derby winner yet. Steve Assmussen fits the bill. He has two entered in today’s Derby. This is how I played it:
$20 win #14 Tiztastic 20-1
$2 exbx 13-14
.50c tri 13,14/ALL/13,14
Risked $41
If the Ass-Man sweeps the exacta, or bookends the tri, it should pay big balloons. Good luck everybody!
