• It's not the last chance, it's a big chance

    POSTED Apr 13, 2013
    Leg 2 of the Kentucky Derby Championship Series presented by TwinSpires.com concludes today, and while many have called it "the last chance" for three-year-olds to guarantee themselves a spot in the starting gate, that's really only because of where the races fall on the calendar since these 170-point chances today are the same as the previous five Leg 2 races on March 30 and April 6.

    I.e., if these races were two weeks ago they'd be just as valuable and prestigious. These races aren't the last chance, they're a big chance--for a Grade 1 win, big money, points toward the Derby, and to join a long list of some of racing's biggest stars.


    It's a big chance for gamblers, too. I typically hate the term "wide-open" race, but it's impossible to ignore that the favorite in either race is extremely vulnerable. Even the top choices in both races are.





    My main focus today is unquestionably the blockbuster 12-race Blue Grass card. What a blessing to watch Horse of the Year Wise Dan win his six-year-old debut, turn the page and see this card with three Grade 1 races, an all-stakes Pick 4, two Pick 5s, and of course one of the top preps for the world's most prestigious horse race. 

    Unlike Friday, though, there are precious few "gimmes" on this card. Whereas Wise Dan was nearly a free square in his race, no such block exists on today's card. The ABC grid is below.

    I am not a huge fan of horseracing, but my younger brother is. I think I should share this post with him. I am sure he would love to watch these videos. While I have to get back at the task at hand – I have to look for Civil Engineer Cover Letter samples and write a cover letter to apply for a position. Ah, I should share it before I get buys – because then, I will definitely forget it.

    Oh my god! I just remember a funny story when I was watching this championship series and my neighbor’s son came and he kept nagging me about the PhD dissertation proofreading cost and I was having this amazing desire to tope his mouth shut, but out of respect I was bearing all of that to the limit that I stopped watching it and addressed his queries. – Don’t worry I watched it on the internet later.

    Remember a funny story about when I was watching the championship series. My neighbor's boy came over and kept bugging me about the dissertation help. It was hilarious. But, out of respect, I stopped watching it and addressed the questions. It was all on the internet.

    Also a great opportunity for gamblers. Although I usually detest the term "wide-open" race, it cannot be denied that the favourite in each race is incredibly professional logo design agency USA weak. Even the leading contenders for both races are.

    After reading the blog, i only could comment a quote that says, "I had to wonder whether it was possible that this wasn’t already decided for me, and if maybe, just maybe, this was my one last chance to try and prove it. There was no way to know. There never is. But I reached out and took it anyway." This was the quote by Sarah Dessen.......
