So, I took some futures on Friday, not in the pools--

Fire Slam @ 250-1 (small)
Judiths Wild Rush @ 500-1 (smaller, he would have to win the Bay Shore just for starters)
Pollard's Vision @ 150-1 (heh-heh)
Pro Prado @100-1 (may or may not be an overlay, considering the parlay)
Purge @75 and 100-1 (definite overlay)

Took The Cliff's Edge early on @ 28-1, Fire Slam @ about 60. Took a long look at Minister Eric and the field in this pool, but didn't get enough price and decided to wait it out.

Earnings are going to be an even bigger deal than usual this time-- looks like it will take around 200k to get in, meaning Rock Hard Ten has no shot (how important was that DQ?), Smarty Jones and the others at Oaklawn have to finish at least second to get in-- very complicated.

Very interesting Derby. A lot of interesting horses will be a price on race day, and you get to see who gets in and the draw, so there wasn't good enough reason to jump unless you got a BIG price.
