I’m going with a bit of a longshot in the lightly-raced Kingsbarns. Three-for-three, but taking a big step up in competition.

Very well-bred for the distance, good post, should stay out of trouble & be in advantageous position near the front.

I’ll take the odds & see what happens.

I pick based on which name I like most and none of these is standing out this year. It's a weak field.

Outstanding pick.

Reminds me of Pletcher's other Derby winner Always Dreaming. Same pattern

Have to watch the Japanese pair .... Japanese horses have been running huge races all over the world the last year or so.

Is this the thread for degenerates? Sitting on a plane headed for Florida. I'm hoping I can place bets while I'm there

This is the thread for degenerates.

Unfortunately, the horse racing lobby in VA doesn't let me place bets on an app. You gotta roll into one of a handful of place in central/southern/eastern Virginia. No thanks to driving across the state.

Thank you. I’ll keep an eye on the Japanese horses — I’m never sure how to handicap them.

If you hit their legs with a sledgehammer it should do the trick

There is going to be a 23 in the race. I am not sure there is a saddle cloth affiliated with the number. Three defections today among the field of 20 allowed the three also eligibles to partake. As such, 21, 22 and 23 will run. Last year, the 21 won.

You can't do it at any of the casinos?

I'm shocked and saddened to not have seen a single Dale Weise reference thus far into the thread.

I voted for the Japanese horse with a skin theme
