Rick Dutrow keeps telling us how Big Brown will laugh at the rest of the field, and so far Big Brown has done just that. This guy should leave the gate at negative win pool, but he will probably actually break near the 2-5 morning line. That is a 40% return in less than 2 1/2 minutes. Perhaps a reader will figure out that APR and post it in a comment.
For what it is worth, Big Brown is also the Uncle Clyde system horse, so go ahead and bet him to win.
Readers of this little neck of the net know that this blogist looks for big payouts. To get a big payout in this race will require betting the exotics. Your uncle’s favorite exotics are the exacta and trifecta, so for this race that means finding good horses to put underneath Big Brown.
Toss Casino Drive. He has never carried 126 lbs, and he is adding 10 lbs to his Peter Pan performance. How many jockeys keep winning after losing the bug? Most of the time they have to get used to the higher weight before they show they have real talent. For the same reason, toss Guadalcanal, Da’ Tara, and Ready’s Echo. That leaves five horses underneath, making a $10.00 wheel and $20.00 keyed tri.
Enjoy the race and good luck!
