WEEK 18
SATURDAY 5/3/14
Hello Everyone,
Friday was not a good day in baseball, just crap in fact. I don’t wanna harp on it too much cause its part of gambling. Just pist off that I gave you guys a play on Felix Hernandez who is clearly in bad shape right now. 4 strait losses and he has another game with Oakland looming on the road. Just a very poor read by me. Tonight we have a special guest as promised. My good friend Tuddy ( @Champ_Bets on twitter ) has graciously done a full Kentucky derby preview for us. A lot of us are new to horse racing and hopefully Tuddy will help you make some money tomorrow. Good Luck.

2014 Kentucky Derby Preview via @Champ_Bets
And it’s for the roses, as fast as you can, your fate is delivered, your moments at hand…It’s that time of year again to break out your fancy hats (Please women only) and mint juleps. The weather forecast will be ideal for the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby. For those new to betting on the ponies, I will break down the types of bets and which horses I will be cheering on Saturday at 6:24pm EST on NBC.
Let’s first look at the types of bets available:
Win – This is a bet for a single horse to win.
Place – This is a bet for a single horse to finish first or second.
Show – A bet the horse will place in the top three.
Across the Board (Win, Place & Show) – This is similar to a show bet, but if your horse wins second or first, the payout is much larger.
Exacta – This is a bet for the first and second places – in the exact order.
Exacta Box – This is like the exacta bet, except that the winners can be in any order.
Trifecta – This bet is for the top three finishers in a specific order.
Trifecta Box – Similar to the trifecta except the winners can be in any order.
Superfecta – This is the toughest bet but one with the biggest payout. It chooses the top four finishers in exact order.
Superfecta Box – This is the same as a superfecta horses picked does not matter. except the order of the top four

WICKED STRONG | 20 | 6/1 |
Now to what everyone wants to know, who should I bet on? Here is a breakdown of what I consider to be the top horses in the field of twenty.
The favorite at 5/2 odds California Chrome. Favorites win almost 33% of all horse races, I do not believe this horse is above and beyond others in the field. Victor Espinoza will try to lead this favorite into the winner circle, for his 2nd Kentucky Derby victory. (2002 War Emblem) California Chrome will be starting from post 5.
Wicked Strong comes into the Derby at 5/1 odds, after his upset win in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. He won the race by 3 1/2 lengths over the favorite Social Inclusion and undefeated Samraat. History shows that the winner of the Wood Memorial performs well at Churchill Downs. Wicked Strong will be starting on the outside in post 20.
Ride On Curlin starts beside Wicked Strong in post 19. This three year old has not yet reached its potential in my opinion. He finished 3rd in the Rebel Stakes and 2nd in the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn. Calvin Borel who has three Kentucky Derby victories and is the best jockey in the business on the Churchill Downs track.
Danza (15/1 odds) This Todd Pletcher trained horse was the longshot winner at the Arkansas Derby, at 41/1 odds. He could be peaking at the right time, so you cannot sleep on him.
Now to the part everyone wants to know, who is going to win? After studying up this week my finalists will be:
WIN – WICKED STRONG ( 1 UNIT )
PLACE – RIDE ON CURLIN ( 1 UNIT )
SHOW – CALIFORNIA CHROME ( 1 UNIT )
In closing I would like to thank Lex Ka for this opportunity to be featured in his blog. So best of luck to everyone on Saturday and enjoy the most exciting two minutes in sports.
