Nick Zito sends two to take home the title
Nick Zito has done it. He’s the one who has clouded the Kentucky Derby picture.
Today’s race was picture perfect as the track played fair all day. The thing that kept us on Miners Reserve was Johnny V’s. win stalking the lead going a mile and an eigth. It was picture perfect from the beginning and we thought that Desormeaux was going to go up in there but decided to teach the horse something about rating.
We understand but we don’t like the strategy because we bet our money.
But they played it right and one thing is for sure — Rule is out at the Derby distance and he can only hurt Pletchers’ other fingers.
Eskendereya looks pretty good at this point. But there’s still plenty of time to think about a possible Kentucky Derby future wager in Pool 3 to hedge our Pool 2 bet. The final running time of the Florida Derby 1:49:19 and :26′s at the end.
Come to think of it maybe the picture isn’t so cloudy after all.
