Kentucky Derby 2016 Doghouse Confidential Posted

Always the most difficult race of the year. Having the best horse doesn't mean you will win. It is all about trips.

Let's hope 6 My Man Sam hits the exacta!

As usual, go to the Meet Mr. X page and click on the red Doghouse Confidential button.

Weather will be great so no excuses there.

Good luck!

Mr. X

Correction: Destin

I had Destin as a qualifier in the top group. However, his figure was earned at 8.5f, and he has never raced 9f. Therefore, he should be in the "maybe" group on his figures. However, I will not bet a horse that never raced at 9f before the 10f Derby. To me, he is a throwout.

Kentucky Derby Categorized Contenders Posted

Just posted the horses categorized by their energy distribution and last three furlong times as I have done in previous years.

I will post a Derby Doghouse either late Friday or on Saturday morning.

Bob, I hope you made it to the Derby with your family. Have a great birthday and a profitable weekend!
