Anybody else excited? I’m glad they’ve been streaming live works every morning like they do for the derby.

I love winning.
$3 to Win, Place or Show across the board.

I usually have like 3 winners per race, waaay better than the pro gamblers winning percentages!

Should be a good couple days of racing!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Monomoy Girl vs Abel Tasman.

I think there are several horses that could win the Classic this year. Obviously, Accelerate looks tough, but he is coming out of the 14 hole and might not be used to such a big field. If he doesn't have a good break, then I don't think he will be in the money.

I've got my eye on West Coast. His works have been good and I think he might return to form. McKinzie looked really good in the PA Derby and I feel like I have to take a look at Thunder Snow after that performance in the Dubai World Cup.

I'll likely throw Mind Your Biscuits in the 2 and 3 slot in my exacta/trifecta as he has been running well and seems like he can compete at any distance.

Before I get yelled at, this is not from a betting standpoint

But sentimentally I would like to see my boy Mendelssohn, thunder snow, roaring lion, or maybe biscuits win.

I applaud all of them for giving it a shot. I’m tired of baffert winning things.

I just got offered seats in a box but work is going haywire and I can’t get away. Super sad aspy.

I'm also looking forward to the Dirt Sprint too. 5 out of the 9 horses have a legit chance to win that race.

I'm particular to Whitmore since he is an Oaklawn fan favorite, but it should be a very fun and very competitive race.

I’m using both whitmore and promises fulfilled in there.

Have a friend in with a good shot in the turf sprint. Had no running room last year and still managed to hit the board and only get beat a length or so.

yes, mainly because we get back to real tracks

no more of the shite california tracks, where 85% of the field in every race has no shot, because of the surface.(95% have no shot at santa anita).

Horses absolutely love the cooler weather. Expect as usual, the Euros to win, virtually every turf race. They relish this weather even more.

Enjoy it while it lasts, santa anita and del mar on deck in 20 and 21 i believe.

Keeneland is in there somewhere. I’ll go back home for that one.

I wish they’d throw more tracks into the mix. What was wrong with lone star?

Celebutards have a lot of pull in breeders cup, they don't like rainy, cold weather. They would rather circle jerk each other in California heat.

Why hasn't it gone back to Woodbine? Belmont? or even 2 Saratoga?
