As the clocks spring ahead this evening maybe this DEAD board will awaken with a bit of Derby fever?

Kudos to Tampa management for a 15% take out all stakes wager and their pick 4 is only an 18% takeout as well. They set a wagering record on Sam Davis day, I'm sure a new level will be set today as well.

Columbia:
Two outside horses both moving in the correct direction but Frenchy and Johnny V out there on the green aren't for me. It's the Ortiz brothers with Profiteer & Tiz a Slam for the top spot.

Challenger:
Stanford an obvious single many places but he has disappointed at odds on before, blinkers on for a 5 yr old in his 15th start? Amy's Flatter and Adirondack King will get most of the ticket, Stanford used defensively.

Florida Oaks:
I though about La Coronel as a single, the numbers concur BUT Casse horrific with stakes routers off the bench 60 plus.Super Marina, Fifty Five and Compelled all will be used.

Hillsborough:
Dickinson was intended to be on the engine in his last, Paco surprised everyone mostly KM taking back. He won't let Isabella go out all alone today,Lot's of Lex will want a part of it as well. Here come the vultures!!!! Elise's World & My Impression flying down the lane, these two on top hopefully at square numbers?

Tampa Derby:
A lot of Derby points up for some pretty ordinary 3 year olds so far? I made a pretty good bet on Tapwrit in the Sam Davis, Jose got stuck inside, shook lose made a decent run but Mccracken was in no danger. He was almost 10/1 that day, no thank you at 2/1 today in a tight by the numbers pack. Wild Shot bounces to the moon, State of Honor had nothing 2nd off the bench on a day when the speed horses held well and No Dozing comes out of the Remsen which has become as far away from a key race as you could get!

Tale of Silence, The Money Maker, Basha, Beasley & Sonic Mule as there is no reason at all not to take some price shots in this tight by the numbers group.

The Jimbo (on full tilt) Cave Man ticket is 2 x 3 x 4 x 2 x 5 = $240 for a buck and we'll play it a bit more than that with a few price presses.
When opportunity knocks?

Good luck,

Frank D.
