Overview
The Preakness is a lot of fun and it will be interesting to see how Mage does against a fully new crop of horses, none of which ran the Derby. I am really happy we did not see a redux of last year with the absolutely shocking decision that was made to not bring the Derby winner to Maryland. Look, if a horse is not healthy or compromised in any way I would totally understand not running, but that horse was 100% fine. Sorry for ranting as it still makes me angry.
Enough about all that, let’s get it!!!!
Recap
We started Derby Day off strong and then things took a really bad turn. We won a grand total for 2 bets before the Kentucky Derby……but oh what a Derby it was as we netted $735.20 of profit on that 1 race!!
We are now quite profitable overall and will try to keep the good times rolling! For those who cashed and want to tip, please just message me or use the tip button on Twitter!

I gave out National Treasure at a fixed 10-1 right after the Derby on the Gamblers Paradise Discord1. I hope you listened!
I think Mage might be the bet horse but there is going to be absolutely no value here and I think coming off only 2 weeks of rest for a horse without experience will hurt Mage in this race.
Race 14 - 3, 9, 5, 7
My list of race tickets:
Below are my tickets for today’s races and these are based on my analysis and my bankroll. PLEASE make sure you are gambling within your bankroll and your limits!!
For today, I am giving myself a $500 bankroll for single races. This does NOT mean you have to bet that much too. If you are someone with a more limited bankroll, PLEASE throttle down the amount wagered to a level that is more comfortable for you.
NOTE - I am posting this now, but will update this when scratches come out tomorrow morning. When that happens I will send an email (and tweet) when we are updated.
