FOURTH RACE: 2-3-5-4

FIFTH RACE: 7-5-3-2-4

SIXTH RACE: 2-6-3-11-8

SEVENTH RACE: 2-11-4-3-8

EIGHTH RACE: 1-7-5-9-11

NINTH RACE: 11-2-1-14-6

10TH RACE: 5-7-10-6-11

11TH RACE: 7-8-10-5-1 (BEST BET)

12TH RACE (Kentucky Derby); 1. Two Phil’s, 2. Mandarin Hero, 3. Angel of Empire, 4. Derma Sotogake. LONG SHOT: Confidence Game.

To say this has been a weird Derby week with four scratches before Saturday is an unsderstatement. I lost two West Coast horses that I thought would run well, but that’s life. TWO PHIL’S has done little wrong on the trail and has done well on dirt and all-weather surfaces. I think he’s sitting on a big race. MANDARIN HERO is from Japan and put in a huge effort in the Santa Anita Derby to finish second. Will he bounce today? Good question but at the price I’m willing to find out. ANGEL OF EMPIRE has also been strong on the trail and has been impressive. DERMA SOTOGAKE might be the best from Japan but how he reacts off the huge Dubai win has to be questioned. I really wanted to pick CONFIDENCE GAME on top, but the layoff since the big win in Arkansas has to leave some doubts.

NOTE: I’M BACK.Just for the big races this weekend. For Santa Anita, check me out a FatBaldguyarcing. Last Saturday, I had the winners of the first four races cold so 3 daily dfoubles and 2 Pick Threes cold. Just missed a cold Pick 4 and Pick 5. My horse ran second.

FIFTH RACE (Alysheba): 4-2-1-5

SIXTH RACE (Modesty): 7-6-8-2-4

SEVENTH RACE (Eight Belles): 6-8-9-1-2

EIGHTH RACE (Unbridled Sydney): 3-8-11-1-9

NINTH RACE (La Troiene): 7-9-2-10-6

10TH RACE (Edgewood): 2-11-5-3-7

11TH RACE (Kentucky Oaks): 1. And Tell Me Nolies (15-1), 2. Wet Paint (5-2), 3. Defining Purposes (12-1), 4. Southlawn (8-1). LONG SHOT: Pretty Mischievous (10-1).

There is no doubt WET PAINT is the one to beat. She was impressive at Oaklawn Park and should relish the long stretch at Churchill Downs with jockey Flavien Prat. However, AND TELL ME NOLIES has lost two straight to the best 3-year-old filly in America in Bob Baffert’s Farza, who is banned from this race. This is third off the layoff for the Peter Miller-trained filly. Looks like a wide open race.

Note: I will try to post one race per day. The rest of my picks are at fatbaldguyracing.com but it’s a pay site. If you are interested Dan will give you a deal.

SANTA ANITA

NINTH RACE: 3-6-8-12-10

When I heard Frankie Dettori was coming over from England to ride this meet, my first thought was to fade him and then superagent Ron Anderson took over and he has some quality mounts today. This might be his best chance here with #3.

Good luck. Stay safe.

NEWS: After years of doing this website for free, I have been offered a spot as West Coast handicapper for fatbaldguyracing.com and will make a few bucks. My site doesn’t cost much but still to get paid to do picks was something I couldn’t turn down. Dan has a great site and reasonable prices for multiple tracks per day. I have been a subscriber for years.If you are interested in Dan’s site, get in touch with me and I’ll help you get a deal (hopefully).

I will continue to try to put one race a day up here. I wanna thank all those who haven’t contacted over the years and put up with my medical issues and those in my family. I also wanna thank those that paid for my site one year and those that slipped me a couple bucks after a big score. It was appreciated.

TODAY’S FIRST RACE: 6-2-1-7-5

That man Flavien Prat is back in the saddle and John Velazquez is out this year, too, so beware.

As always: Good luck. Stay safe.
