Mine is Aflleet Alex

Right now it's Bellamy Road. I will have him boxed with Afleet Alex and others. I know I'm not out on a limb but it's this horse for now.

just got done watching the works show on tvg.bellamy road looks great and probably the fav.will wait till friday seems there's alway's some late scratch's.going to catch that works show tommorrow as track was wet today,and most should be working.

 

[danmurphy jr]

Great start. This thread should garner a strong consensus. Somebody in here once mentioned that you could exacta box and trifecta almost half the field and make some good money

was at work today talking up afleetalex when i guy at the end of the bar told me to comehere and told me he owns about 10 percent of him.wasnt sure at first,but after b s ing for a while he was straight up.real cinderella story.a group bought him for 75 grand.even going to stick with small time jock jeremy rose,although they wanted valasquez.rose is up and comeing.but just a kid 26 i think.i never have much luck in the derby but who knows,worth a shot.simaler path as smarty jones took last year.lung all cleared up,and he is peaking right on time.

I have to agree with Lennie. I like Afleet Alex. He won't be the first horse out off the gate, but I haven't seen a closer like him in a long time. Bellamy Road is a very good horse, obviously, since he's the fav. But Aflleet hopefully will catch him. Good Luck to all.

Just a couple others to watch in your exotics...Greeley's Galaxy(peaking at that perfect time and had a Fabulous illinois Derby)
And one of the lesser known Pletcher horses,Flower Alley...Everyone is all on Bellamy Road but I dont think he places here...too many horse and favs never do well in the Derby..Afleet alex should be in the $ though.GL!!
