Hi Richie, did you notice how thin Hoppertunity appeared last race? I think if Baffert puts some weight on him and gives him some easy breezes, he will be a good value bet.
As for California Chrome, I am not a big fan of horses wearing blinkers in the 1 1/4 mile derby. Also, there will be a few others with blinkers on. CC will either have to go too fast or be in an uncomfortable position. He's getting all the hype and bettors who look in their rear view mirror rather than thru the windshield, looking for an improving 3 yr old, will be disappointed. And happy with 3-1?
