4/12 (SAT) Gr 1 Blue Grass S. - KEE

I haven’t seen a race with so many live long shots in a very long time. Monba, Medjool, Kentucky Bear, Halo Najib, and Miner’s Claim are all capable of winning. They are all 15-1 or higher on the morning line. Pyro, the even money morning line favorite looks daunting but he is beatable. That being said I’m going bombs away.

1st- Kentucky Bear (50-1)
2nd- Pyro (1-1)
3rd- Monba (15-1)

4/12 (SAT) Gr 2 Arkansas Derby - OP

I’m a bit disappointed at the lack of depth this years edition of the Arkansas Derby presents. I’m kind of surprised some of the horses in the Bluegrass didn’t opt for this event. Monba who is 15-1 in the Bluegrass would be more like 4-1 in this race. I doubt a serious derby contender will come out of this one.

1st- Liberty Bull (6-1)
2nd- My Pal Charlie (12-1)
3rd- Golden Yank (15-1)

4/12 (SAT) Gr 2 Commonwealth S.- KEE

1st- Forefathers (4-1)
2nd- Buffalo Man (8-1)
3rd- Xchanger (4-1)

4/12 (SAT) Gr 3 Holy Bull S.- GP

1st- Hey Byrn (8/5)
2nd- Famous Patriot (3-1)
3rd- Dream Meastro (5-1)
