The second jewel of the Triple Crown may feel like a horse turd when the Kentucky Derby winner doesn’t show up, but with the biggest upset in 108 years, I am thankful the connections of Rich Strike didn’t push their horse to run after only two weeks. Rich Strike wouldn’t have been the favorite here. He also wouldn’t have won the Preakness. Trying for the Triple Crown would have broken this future stud. This leaves only nine runners. The favorite is going to be tough to beat, but each runner has a reason for you to believe in them. The real winners will be playing with TVG. They have a promo for new players, and on Friday and Saturday, they have a ton of Money Back Specials at Pimlico just in case your horse runs second or third in select races.
