Quote from stock777:
the derby is not my favorite betting op. lots of folks enjoy the hype and what you get are a bunch of clowns making picks, and so whatever happens, there's always someone to say ' I had it'
very little or no edge.
You just had all the favorites lose in the filly version of the derby, including a horse that just won by 20 lengths in super fast time. Banged hard out of the gate, never in the hunt. Winner paid $75 for 2.
Maybe a preview of the derby.
? you obviously have never been to Louisville, I live down here, it is the evil cityQuote from Swan Noir:
Historically the derby has been a tough race for favorites. The field is nearly always large, ridden very aggresively because the tradition is for the stewards to object only to a homocide (if that).
If you like a long shot to win it the nature of the field and the hesitance to take wild aggressive jockey behavior to task make it the place to play that longshot. More of fun bet most years then an edge bet. Louisville is a great small town with friendly people.
