did anyone notice the last flash drop on the Japan horse Elvis ho i think that's the name 12-1 t0 5 that's a lot of Yen!
I thought he was a interesting outsider and neary keeled over when i saw what he went off at. In my younger days I would have caught that real time and made some $$. It takes a shit ton of cash to drop a horse from 12-1 to 5-1 on Derby Day. And they keyed on certain exactas and daily doubles. Big, big score. There was a similar drop in the last race on the winner who was double digits most of the betting and went off at 6-1.
My lesson learned is next year I will spend as much time watching the odds board as reeding the PPs. Most races if you were dead on the board you were dead period. Except for the Derby. Winner was 8th best coming in by my way of reckoning but was iive...but I tell you what besides as part of a part wheeled trifecta I could have bet thousands and would not have had the maiden hit the board.
The comments in this thread have been spot on there are several horses who were impressive and may be live in the Preakness...but most will not make it to the gate for one reason or another. Final time was weak considering the hot pace, and I would not be surprised if two pieces of the Preakness trifecta are from horses that did not run in the Derby.
