From Last To First......

#2 Tiago - Based on Kentucky Derby I don't see it happening
#4 C.P. West - Don't think the added distance will help but instead think it will hurt
#1 Imawildandcrazyguy - Good race in Derby but added distance is a question mark.. Include for 3rd and 4th in exotics.
#5 Slews Tizzy - Improving horse that if its wet could have a great shot to hit the board.
#6 Hard Spun - Added distance is a question but he has bettered the rest of the field in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. Plus a rider change going with Gomez is another positive factor. Contender
#7 Rags to Riches- Likes the muddy track and Ran a very good race in the Kentucky Oaks. Can she beat the boys?? I think it could happen but will be siding with Curlin...
#3 Curlin - I picked him in the Derby and saw how he got trapped in and predicted he would win the Preakness and beat Street Sense. This is a very young and incredible horse that seems to be set to win 2 of the 3 triple crown races. His closing style should set up perfectly for the mile and a half race.


The Bet:
1$ Trifecta Part Wheel

For First Place: Curlin #3 / Rags to Riches #7 / Slews Tizzy #5
For Second Place: Curlin #3/ Rags to Riches #7/ Slews Tizzy #5/ Hard Spun #6
For Third Place: Curling #3/ Rags to Riches #7/ Slews TIzzy #5/ Hard Spun #6/ #1 Imawildandcrazyguy

That's.... 3,5,7/3,5,6,7,/1,3,5,6,7

Total Price = 27$

A Cheaper Alternative=

Curlin on top #3 with #7,5,6 for second and #7,5,6,1 for third

That's.... 3/5,6,7/1,5,6,7

Total Price = 9$
