First post. Appreciate all the insight you guys give and would like to get some opinions on this topic. One thing I have found is there is some incredible value when wagering one horse vs another. I hit 7 of 9 matchups on the Derby and like a few tomorrow. Does anyone else here play these matchups? I will list a few here and give your thoughts.

701 Easyfromthegitgo +105
702 Crimson Hero -135

5/18/2002 5:04 PM Medaglia D Oro vs War Emblem
703 Medaglia D Oro -145
704 War Emblem +115

5/18/2002 5:04 PM Harlans Holiday vs Proud Citizen
705 Harlans Holiday -140
706 Proud Citizen +110

5/18/2002 5:04 PM Booklet vs USS Tinosa
707 Booklet +160
708 USS Tinosa -200

5/18/2002 5:04 PM Equality vs Magic Weisner
709 Equality -160
710 Magic Weisner +130


One of the matchups in tomorrows race is USS Tinosa vs Booklet. I actually found 2 books with entirely different lines. One had USS -170 Booklet +140. Another had Booklet -130 and USS +100. I actually ended up playing both sides to the point I got USS at 5-1 odds over Booklet.
