Either way it goes, I think if I place a bet, I'm going to do like a lot of Derby exacta winners did: I'm playing birthdays. The MM/DD birthdays of me, my wife and my two kids can all be played. And I might through in my nephew, too, because he's born on the 13th (Giacomo!).

Sadly, this won't give me any trifecta unless I run to birthdays together or split the year into "9" and n.

I think you're going to see a more honest pace in this race.

The hot pace last race will be sitting in jockeys minds and they won't get caught up in it this time.

Watch High Limit out of the 11 hole. He's a speed baller who runs his best when he's up front.. He's not very good at rating behind the leaders..

I expect him to get up front early, relax, and win this race wire to wire.. 12-1 morning line.
