Aspy likes Sabercat, but i ain't nowhere near sold on him.
I guess if i had to go with one i would say Take Charge Indy and Daddy Nose Best, but they are not true longshots, just the longest shots i would take

Looking forward to it. Friday I'm in the Bacardi tent. Saturday, I'll be in the infield cutting up.

I like 15:1 TCI staying away from Bode since he's favorite now at 4

Love Gemologist's position. As long as Union Rags or TCI doesn't get outside of him before the first turn and force him to the very back I think he'll be primed for a run at Trinniberg.

I'm feeling like Dullahan flops in this race. Hansen makes a bid at the 1/4 pole but gets passed up by a late flyer.

Need to seriously delve into the field and get down to 7 or 8 by Friday.

Wow, there are a ton of frontrunners/speed in the Oaks. I think it sets up well for stalkers like Summer Applause, On Fire Baby, and Grace Hall.

How do you guys feel about horses that have only run (or run well) on turf or synthetic, like Karlovy Way and Hard Not To Like? Can they carry it over to the Churchill dirt?

I LOVE summer applause. I'd look at the dynaformer filly, but only because I loved him.

I'm thinking of putting the matz horse in too.

I will for sure play on fire baby with summer applause, just not sure who else.

WHY WON'T THEY POST THE DAMN ENTRIES?!

Hopefully, Ott and Co will get Michael Beychok on the show Friday, along with Bruce Marshall.

See if jojothetireguy can box the Tri or Super again this year? Or was that two years ago?

I like him to hit the board, not to win

I'm afraid daddy has been getting too much talk to be a true longshot.

They'll bet Calvin down to 6-1 at least on derby day.
