Great Thread
I need to see if there is information on how any horse has run in the mud.
Horses either like it or they hate it
I was thinking about that, too.
I love horse racing and used to be seriously into it.
Wish I had time to study this race.
I love to pick the winner.
1st time in 12 years I’ve not been AT Churchill for the Derby... but, seeing the cold rain today? I’m not too upset about it.
I like Goldencents and Verrazano to win. They are on top of ALL my exotic bets.
The odds are good enough for WP bets on Itsmyluckyday, Overanalyze (great MUD horse), and Java’s War.
The horses with the best mud ratings are OXBOW, REVOLUTIONARY, AND NORMANDY INVASION.
Only a couple horses in this Derby have raced, and won or gotten a close 2nd
on sloppy tracks, but at MUCH shorter distances,like
5/8 mile and they are mostly also-rans, like *rac Daddy.
Vyjack won at 7/8 mile in the slop and earned a 96 Beyer number,which is quite good. I think the reason Vyjack is a longshot going into this Derby,is because o his #20 post,
but never underestimate the abilities o his phenomenal jockey Garrett Gomez. NOW, thanks to your question I have taken another look and will put VYJACK on top in some $1 super*ectas. WITH or WITHOUT rain, he is a contender even *rom post 20
