Ric's Picks
Good morning fellow race nuts. After diligently studying the horses for today’s big race. Here are my thoughts
Renegade comes in as the favorite, with a Jockey Ortiz that is 0 for 9 in the derby. I don’t think I’m gonna fuck with him. I hate favorites, theyre for normies
Big Dick Bob Baffert has two horsies running today but both have struggled recently and Litmus Test has gone through like 6 jockeys, so I don’t know but I think Bob fell off.
Who do we like? Got my eye on “So Happy”, he just came off a victory in the Santa Anita Derby, where he won pretty convincingly. Really liked his stride on the finish. They call his jockey Mike Smith, "Money Mike". I like him I like money. Hes been in the game a longgg time too. He’s my certified RICPICK of the day.
"The Puma" interests me a bit, there was some buzz about Taylor swift owning this horse but I think that was fake news. This horse did just come off a pretty gutsy win in the Florida derby in March. I like him for a 2nd place finish.
I usually don’t fuck with long shots, but can’t pass up Great White, dope name, Grey horse, I like him.
Do what you want with this info. I wish I could parlay a horse with the flyers/martone anytime goal/sixers/embiid first bucket/Denny Hamlin. Good luck losers!
Good day racers! I completely forgot today was the derby until I woke up. Let’s get right to it. I don’t know much about these horses, but what I do know if that I’m betting the house on my dog Bob Baf. That’s right, everyone’s favorite silver fox horse doper is back. With a horse named Citizen Bull at 13/1 right now. How could you not bet? You kidding me??
Looks like this horse Journalism is favorite, but I think that’s a dumbass name so I don’t like him, but I’ll still throw him in an exacta with Citizen Bull.
As far as other horses go, I’m liking this Japanese horse Luxor Cafe, he comes from a long line of winners, so maybe throw him in there too. I don’t really care about long shots, just pick one, it won’t win. Okay great, enjoy the race. I think I need to go down to Churchill next year, anyone wanna go???
GOOD DAY RACERS! How the hell are ya, you came here for picks, so I’m gonna get right to it. 1 word for you guys today, SIERRA! (Frank Ocean voice). That's right, Sierra Leone. This horse is hotter than a 2 dollar pistol. I’m going all in on this bad boy today.
As far as other horses, the favorite is obviously Fierceness at 7/2 but other than that, its pretty wide open. Lots of long shots so take your pick. I tend to hate a favorite, but will throw him into some exactas.
I’m liking Catalytic who was the runner up behind Fierceness in the Florida derby. Could see him on the board today. Great name too.
Another pick I like is the horse Forever Young, clearly the fastest horse in the mix, could be interesting.
I always like a #1 horse too, this young steed Dornoch has had some great races, his last one he couldn’t fully fire, but the other 3 he came in 1st. Maybe he just stumbled a bit. He’s also the full brother to last year's winner Mage. Hmmm interesting.
Okay that’s it for today, best of luck everyone. Now take your mint julep, raise it to the horizon, and thank god you’re alive on this cloudy but beautiful race day!
