The Arkansas Derby is being run today and we at Pony Bologna have been on The Factor's bandwagon for quite some time now. His speed figures are far and away better than any horse not named Uncle Mo. He's trained by Bob Baffert who has shipped to Oaklawn twice now in favor of his home track of Santa Anita, claiming that the dirt at Oaklawn simulated Churchill Downs far better than any other track in the nation. With a board-hitting finish in the AR today The Factor will likely solidify himself as the Kentucky Derby favorite come the first Saturday in May.
On to the race today, we're actually heading out the door to spend the day at Fairmount Park to watch the day's events so I'll save the long-winded descriptions and just cut to the chase:
Gregg:
1. The Factor
2. Archarcharch
3. Alternation
4. Nehro
Jeremy:
$1 Tri Part Wheel ($120):
1/1a,2,3,5 (Alternation/Caleb's Posse, Nehro, Elite Alex, Brethren)

over
1/1a,2,3,4,5,6,9,11 (add Sway Away & JW Blue)
$5 ATB ($30):

Total: $150
I'm also playing the Stakes Pick 4 at Keeneland for $1 with the following combo:

R7 - 2, 3
