Sloppy and yielding with races 3 and 5 off the turf on Derby Day.  The card is impossible enough without having to factor in wet track conditions, but I’ll do my best.  Hope to carry some momentum from Oaks day where I listed 8 winners, 6 on top, including both “best bets,” with a great flat bet profit all around!

In race 11, The Kentucky Derby, Ice Box (#2) gets the perfect race set up, has 3 nice distance races on traditional dirt around two turns, worked a bullet in the Churchill slop and has the Zito magic in his corner — my pick to win the big one with a late surge at 10-1 if the track is kind to closers.  I’m going to key on top with Awesome Act (#16) and play around in exotics with Lookin At Lucky (#1), Noble’s Promise (#3), Super Saver (#4) and Stately Victor (#6) whom all figure to move up on a wet track.

In race 10, The Turf Classic, Blues Street (#7) gets a nice set-up and loves a yielding course — I’m keying iin all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Yate’s Black Cat (#9) and Court Vision (#3). Here’s the entire card and good luck!
