Early start today, all. First post 10:30am….

Race 1
$20 win #9 I Had That One Too 15-1
$2 exbx 9/8,12

Glyshaw an “under the radar” guy that has shipped in and won at big prices on the Kentucky circuit. This horse had two good efforts in MSW races at Turfway. I’m sure he could’ve found an easier spot at his home base of Indiana, so the fact that he entered on Oaks day, at the same level, in a race loaded with big names, tells me the horse may improve at a big price.

Race 4
$20 win #15 Take a Stand 10-1
Oliver has fallen on some down times in recent years, but used to have a knack for bombers on the Ky circuit. This one has run very well over the dirt at Churchill, with a record of 4-1-0-1-1. Looks like she’s trying to find the right surface and distance for the horse. Hopefully a dirt mile over a track that the horse likes does the trick. At a big price…

Ran a good fourth at 14-1. Had a little trouble in the backstretch.

Played Dale Romans in the Derby, #21 Cyclone Mischief 30-1. Hall of Fame caliber trainer but the Derby is one of the few big races he hasn’t won. He’ll win one eventually, just gotta hope it’s at a price, like today.

My buddy had $20 on the 8 and $10 across on the 3. Last year he had a fin on the 100-to-1 horse. I know he’s not BSing because I got him his bets. Shoulda tailed

You only hear about the winners
I lost but not nearly as much as I would have if forte ran and lost. I had a decent bet on him at BM futures made this week and they refunded it.

I was so confused when I logged in and saw a lot extra in my account. Thankfully wasn’t an “all in” wager
