Kentucky Oaks

I like Kathmanblu to win and will be used in my exotics. It was just before R Heat Lightning broke out as the heavy favorite that Kathmanblu was regarded by many as the strong favorite until a disappointing outing at Keeneland knocked her off the top spot and opened the door for R Heat Lightning. The thing is, Keeneland is a synthetic track and Kathmanblu is a dirt horse, she just never took to the synthetic track in my opinion and will regain her previous form and take the win.

Kentucky Derby

Forget Uncle Mo, there are just way too many question marks for what is supposedly supposed to be a world beater. Jeremy Plonk said Uncle Mo has noticeably lost a lot of weight since his Breeders’ Cup Juvenile annihilation of the field and now, that doesn’t bode well for a horse trying to make a bid at the longest distance he has ever attempted and has question marks to begin with about making anything over a mile.

Dialed In is my favorite horse, I really like him and think he will be coming when everyone else is out of gas and will be the fittest horse in the field. With Dialed in I will be playing/looking in order of strength of play are Archarcharch, Nehro, Shackelford and the horse I think will eventually be the best of this entire 3yo year which is MuchoMachoMan so if you can find a fat price on him to win the Breeders’ Cup this November I suggest you take a flyer on him.
