Seems with all that complaining about travel UCLA gets 2 games against itself which will reduce travel.

Longchamp Sun R7-Group 1-#12 The Last Dance is 2/2, keeps Soumillon looks good, #10 Maintain will be nice price. #1 Ymeelih was 2nd to The Last Dance, will be a price #2 Narissa short price, only 1 win out of 5, #13 Diamond Necklace, 1st start since Oct, will try to beat here

Big races France (Longchamp) Sunday AM (US) R3-#3 Gilded Prize is really nice runner, likely low odds R6-G1-#2 Rayif &#7 Puerto Rico both short odds & off since Oct. #8 Imperior is price for exotics, #12 Nighttime & #5 Komorebi exit same race that was just ok to me. 2&8 for me

Sha Tin goes tonight-Late PK3 R9-#5 Everluck looks best, then 7, 1&4 R10-#3 Endued then #5 Smart Avenue, #14 Withallmyfaith gets in w/ 117 pounds R11-#2 Crimson Flash just wins, on a roll, #11 Hot Delight in light & undefeated, moves up in class, carries 115, 4&6 also figure

What's your favorite buzzer beater of all time? I'll start: Kawhi Leonard's fadeaway in the 2019 conference semis

@derby1592 Kudos to anyone that took Ocelli, miserable field with only 2 runners are winners of a graded stakes, with only a Grade3 as 3yos.

Bumping this given the probable Preakness field.

Expanding to 76 is nonsense. Making 8 #16 seeds is not smart, also who wants to see the 11th place SEC seed play the 12th place Big Ten seed with 17-16 records, Money talks but not sure anyone wants to watch on Tues & Wed.

Erdenali makes 2nd start in about 5 minutes, his debut was something, faces only 5 others today, again at a mile.

@DaveGfy Oh I know, I am not a fan of the Preakness, but it is not going anywhere, money talks so Churchill will figure something out to get a ROI,

Many will not recognize it, but the New Triple Crown is Derby / Belmont / Travers, the Preakness has been left behind.

Depending on entries, has a maiden ever been favored in the Preakness?

Back with a BANG 🎆 Minnie Hauk runs down her pacemaker with ease to land the Group 2 @IrishEBF_ Mooresbridge Stakes on seasonal return. @coolmorestud | @Ballydoyle

111 Edaja maintains her unbeaten record with victory in the Listed Prix des Lilas for @GraffardRacing...

@derby1592 @EquinealTDN Oh, you really did smash double, very good.

@illiniwes @EquinealTDN Unless you smashed double :-)

How to have the best opinion of your life and get paid a measly $12. It still feels freaking good!

@derby1592 @EquinealTDN I had a bit but didn't smash. Double paid well, price discovery is a full-time job, but not sure anyone saw that win price coming.

@EquinealTDN Yes he is very good, I saw you as his unofficial hype man, I agreed he had a chance, amazed he got bet so much, I used a bit in multi-race bets, too bad about your win price, but still very good to win.

@illiniwes He's outstanding

@4dwade FWIW, the winner of R1 Powershift is workmate of Renegade, think R1 was faster than R2, may not matter but info

Taptastic didn't exactly flatter Renegade (nor Silent Tactic nor Litmus Test) there in race 2.

4/4 Derby Day R13-#8 Gilded Bandit looks tough R14-#9 Big Jake-47&1 gate work 8/1 seems a bit high, looks fast. #14 Brave Pilot also has quick works, if all 1sters do not show, #11 Great Moment is best of those having run & will be a price. Good luck on Derby Day

3/4 Derby Day R11-#10 Make Me King is pick in a field that does not excite R12-Derby-I'd take #15 Emerging Market as a price, #18 Further Ado & #6 Commandment as lower odds contenders, #19 Golden Tempo as longshot to hit exotics, using them in various amounts in multi-race bets
