Jr O checking in here as we will start to kick around & dissect this year’s May 7th 2016 Kentucky Derby. My first and foremost thought is that there are a ton of good horse cappers here that I have great respect for.
This year’s odds and post positions will be released next Wednesday.
Some 2016 Derby Fast Facts …
The Kentucky Derby is the oldest continuously held major sporting event
in the United States. It has been staged every year at Churchill Downs
without interruption since the inaugural running on May 17, 1875.
2014 California Chrome and 2015 American Pharoah winners were both ridden by Victor Espinosa who this year will ride Whitmore a projected 15/1 longshot and try to make history
54 favorites have won the Kentucky Derby, including the last three years:
Orb (2013), California Chrome (2014) and American Pharoah (2015)
13 Kentucky Derby winners have prevailed from post No. 5 (last Calif Chrome 2104)
12 Triple Crown winners: Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha
(1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943),
Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977),
Affirmed (1978) and American Pharoah (2015)
Wagering on U.S. races is up 3.1% year-to-date through March to $2.4
billion.
Wagering on U.S. races in 2015 was up 1.2% to $10.6 billion despite less
race days, less races and less starters
My take on a few horses to make some noise. Here we go …hold on….
Shadwell stables son of Tapit “Mohaymen” who is trained by Mc Laughlin and was ridden by Junior Alvarado; He was a total flop/bust in the Fla Derby @ Gulfstream with a poor 4th finish, but do not count him out as we see that 4th finish a motivator .. he Mohaymen had a super 4-furlong 46.80 workout at Churchill and I see him as a nice nice horse. He will make some noise. Keep Mohaymen in your thoughts when you cap the race.
In closing we will have a 3* Derby pack up next week and that package will include my 3* best wager plus 2 other 2* horses that I am betting on…
Last year’s winner in the derby was the top play American Pharoah
