I generally avoid the favorite as the fave hasn't won since 2018 (Justify). That said, I did box this years fave, Journalism, with Sovereignty in an Exacta bet. Boxed Luxor Cafe (son of Triple Crown Winner American Pharaoh) with Burnham Square. Out of those combos I bet a few horses to Win as well.....Luxor Cafe & Sovereignty. Also bet the lone Bob Baffert horse in there to Win......Citizen Bull. Not really my expertise but since going to The Derby in person in 1985 I bet on it every year. Good excuse to get together with an old basketball buddy and knock a few back while we howl at the TV for 3 minutes! My last outright Win was, I'll Have Another, in 2012. Since then I've had a few Place/Show bets come in as well. Previous Message I recall a poster who used to post as really deep dive preview every year. While overwhelming to someone like me, I respected the work and time put into it. I'm just a bum looking to blow a few bucks in order to yell at the tv for a bit.
