Just a reminder, Pinnacle will close the betting on this well prior to posttime.

That is the way they handled the DERBY anyways.

 

[JudgeWapner]

Fish,thanks.

 

[Fishhead]

Your welcome JW

Was fortunate in the DERBY to have had SMARTY JONES at a nice +680 price.

This race, I grabbed a small chunk of Borrego at 18-1.

 

[JudgeWapner]

I like it.

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

I took Water Cannon 70-1 elsewhere. Also took Eddington 10-1. Just do not like chalk after slopfest derby. Anything can and has happened in the shortest race. That bad jump out of gate, boxed in stretch, not enough distance to make up for bad breaks. Tight turns make wide horses run a lot more ground. IMO, toughest race out of the 3. Best wishes...OF

If you like Smarty Jones then the +145 is better than what you will get if he wins today. I don't think he will be more than 6/5 (+120) at best. There is so much publicity with regards to SJ that I would think 1/1 (EV) should be the price loading into the gate.

Good Luck to all today

HTRC

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

You did not say if you like him HTRC. With a price like that you have to be a square squared which is a cube. He might win, but that price is a joke...Best Wishes...OF

ESPN just said SJ is a 1-5 favorite!
That +168 I got at Pinnacle doesn't look bad now.
Grabbing Borrego at 18-1 also although 19-1 at Track now.

NO KIDDING bulldog...nice odds you have sir

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

Borrego now up to 22-1 at Pinny, probably go higher. Also typical squares betting chalk 5 races early, so they do not have to fight long lines before post. Early 1-5 normally a kiss of death. Minimum, squarely square. You could always lay the -1.50 back he won't win. This Smarty is not the superhorse the media has portrayed, or the public has bought. Early money is almost always wrong. And since he won the derby, you have all of the squares that did not have him, on him now, and other followers. I think 5/2 is where he should be...OF

 

[JudgeWapner]

Some definate bargains here.

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

That +1.68 is now -1.24 +1.14... I am very impressed Bulldog...OF

 

[Fishhead]

Yup, it looks like I am going to take it on the chin with Borrego at 18-1.

CRAP!

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

Made it to 22-1, late action to 17-1 promising. I am thinking no smarty...Not sure who beats him but ten thousand blue haired retiress are going to be dissappointed...OF

 

[oldmantime]

Here's Hoping to follow in the Great One's Footsteps: That would be Seattle Slew--Go Smarty Go!!

 

[Fishhead]

Please note, I have an exacta box with Borrego and Smarty Jones.

 

[OMNIVOROUS FROG]

Great horse? What is all of this? 3/5? Pinny has it yes/no +1.15 -1.25. How much yes do they have with track odds on? Unreal. This chalk is going to blow. World is against me. Talk about a jump on the bandwagon, where were these mushes before the derby?. Clown act at best...OF

 

[Blaze]

I took Eddington at +1365 and Eddington to beat Lion Heart at +171. Good Luck

 

[Fishhead]

Bet Lion Heart NOT to win the race at the price of -564.............scalp bet.

Currently at 6-1 at the track.

The 18-1 bet earlier on Borrego looks like great value too as the track odds are down to 13-1.

Win or lose, looks like a successful Preakness on paper for yours trully.
