Reveron on upswing for GP Derby

Thanks everyone. Can never go wrong with 8-1 on a sharp inside early-pressing type going two turns at the Gulf.

Great call, Jarrod! Someone mentioned the speed bias, and they are correct, but at this 1 1/16 mile distance, I think it's more of an inside bias. I don't think it's an accident that the top 4 spots were taken up by posts 1 thru 5. Watch for more opportunities like this at GP this winter.

I bombed this one terribly. Well, I did call that Ancient Rome wouldn't be a factor, but that didn't win me any money. Excellent call, Jarrod!

Thanks, Brian. He drifted up nicely from his 4-1 morning line.

Great call, Jarrod!

speed bias is in effect

Beautiful Pick!

Strange went through it again and oddly the race came out similarly: the best overall are the 8 and 9, but both a little too late at this distance...the 2 and 11 are the most likely pace horses, but can they have anything left late? One would have to downgrade the 11's run at PRX as that track is an early paradise and does not transfer well to the larger 9 furlong oval. Core of a trifecta are the 7 8 9 11 and go from there.

Ha that was LAST year's 10th.....will redo it

Depending on how the track plays, the 2 Pretty Rowdy and 11 Abuelotonio share the ability to take or be near the lead here, BUT there are several improving animals who could take that lead away later and catch them, IF the track is playing fair: 8 Kanati Kid (possibly too far back to make a serious move) and the 9 Trumpet Man. One of the problems that Pretty Rowdy is suggesting, as the pace speeds up that ones finishing power is compromised over the last three runs. The thing that the 9 has going for it is consistency against a strong pace....A difficult one to translate to a wager as no single animal stands out, so I agree that an exotic with these mixed and evolving styles is the way to attack this contest. Even the 5 has shown late running capability that might do that one well as the distances increase, but might be no more than an a place or show move here...3 5 9 to be considered in the top two spots and then several others underneath...depending upon what the odds board suggests.
