As usual, The Washington Post continues their excellent horse racing coverage. The 2015 Kentucky Derby is one ready-made for a big upset. I'll let the Post tell you why to place your bets on Danzig Moon. I love the science of the ponies versus casinos and such. To be good with the ponies you truly have to understand what they're all about. The pedigree: almost all important. But the mainstream media rarely writes about what all goes into serious playing of the horses. It's never more fun than the Big Three. We begin with the Kentucky Derby and - Danzig Moon! Here's the WaPo on why: Here's why your 2015 Kentucky Derby pick shouldn't include any of the favorites - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2015/04/30/heres-why-your-2015-kentucky-derby-pick-shouldnt-include-any-of-the-favorites/) (other great articles as well. Seriously, they are the best when it comes to horse racing coverage.)

So zookeeper, how do you see the Derby playing out.

Just dropped my life's savings on Danzig Moon. You'd better be right, zookeeper.

$2 Ex box on 2, 4, 5
$2 Ex box on 1, 5, 15, 19
$10 across on 1
$10 across on 5
$5 across on 19

There's $111 I'll never see again.

That will not help. We will "track" you down. :wink: Every time one of these "big" races come along I always think, if it wasn't for the pre-gaming, silly hats and outfits, and the post gaming, they could just cut in with a 5 minute break and get back to regular programing.
