I have no issue with wicked strong as "one of the ones". I agree with u that he is a contender. Was sparring with u over the silly exaggeration of him being 75 percent to "lose it" prior to the race. No horse is ever 75 percent to do that. It is a crazy exaggeration.
This a tough betting race for me. I like to look at the oaks derby double, the oaks/wood ford reserve / derby pick 3. And of course the pick 4 ending in the derby. And I hate betting favorites in any race, let alone the derby. That said, u have an oaks horse that is as fast as all the derby horses and lays over the field off her fairgrounds numbers, then u have wise Dan in the wood ford reserve. And s solid favorite in my mind in California chrome. How do play that sequence. I can't play chalk/chalk/chalk pick 3. A stupid bet. U have to pick a horse to attack.
My plan right now is to probably attack the oaks filly and hope that either the big races knocked her out or that she is just better st fairgrounds. Will use a couple horses there against her, stand with wise dan in the wood ford and then press California chrome, using savers on a few in the derby. Maybe wicked strong, Hoppertunity and maybe commanding curve as a bomb.
Good luck.
