That's right, it's the third leg of the 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Triple Crown going down this weekend. I'm ros Seth Wilcock 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: and I'm joined by a couple of the best railbirds 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: in the business, including the host of the Betting Pros 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 1: Daily Juice podcast, Matt Brawl. Matt, how are you if 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: you round out the horse racing majors for twenty twenty five? 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: You know, I'm excited and this is actually going to 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 2: be I think a more interesting race than the Preakness, 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: even though we had the craziness with the Preakness and 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: how journalism came from behind to win the race. We 13 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: have two horses in an environment where we haven't seen 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: this really in terms of now a rematch a one 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: v one. 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: I'm psyched. 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a really interesting 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: betting opportunity, and I think the handle is going to 19 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: be up because the preck Die handle was way down. 20 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy to have you on board today. We're 21 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: also once again tapping into the big brain of Luke Minaldo. Luke, 22 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Thanks for linking up with us. How are you today, 23 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: my friend? 24 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for having me on. I'm doing great. I'm 25 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 4: excited for a great Belmont, even with a small field. 26 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of different possibilities for the 27 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 4: final outcome, which is incredible. I think it's really going 28 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 4: to come down to a couple of the big horses, 29 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 4: journalism and sovereignty like Matt alluded to, and just a 30 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 4: rematch like this is really cool when it's a rubber match. 31 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: One hundred percent agreed with you man. Before we jump 32 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: into the program, I first wanted to shout out everyone 33 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: who's watching and listening.

And let's go ahead and 39 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: dive in, starting with post positions and what they mean. Luke, 40 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: two questions for you right off the rip man. One 41 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: for those newer tibetting ponies, can you explain how the 42 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: Belmont maybe differs from the Derby and the Preakness, and 43 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: also can you please break down some of these certain 44 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: gates and how they historically help or hurt when it 45 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: comes to the Belmont, and how they might impact betting 46 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: cards this weekend. 47 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 4: It's an interesting year because it's the second year in 48 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 4: a row that the the Belmont will be run at 49 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: the Big A instead of Big Sandy, while the renovations 50 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: are going. 51 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 5: On over at Elmont Park. 52 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 4: So usually it's it's a mile and a half, which 53 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 4: is why it's a test of the champion. 54 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 5: It's the hardest, longest race. This time it's gonna be or. 55 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 4: This year again it's gonna be a mile and a quarter, 56 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 4: which is. 57 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 5: It's just a different race. 58 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: It has everything to do with the smaller track at Aqueduct, 59 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 4: but I think it's gonna play into that's that's actually 60 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 4: that's why there's a lot of different scenarios. 61 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 5: Because it's not as long. 62 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 4: If it was just the original setup, I would think 63 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 4: it's gonna come down to just sovereignty or journalism, the 64 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 4: two late closers really battling it out. But because it's 65 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: a mile and a quarter, I think it opens up 66 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: to a lot of the front runners being to have 67 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: openings to have get out in front like Rodriguez, to 68 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: get out in front and just run away with it, 69 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: whereas you might not have the opportunity at the the 70 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 4: longer format. In terms of post positions, everything inside of seven. 71 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 4: All the winners have come from inside seven. 72 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: Okay, Matt. With this being said, are there any big 73 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: name horses and keyslots that you're fading or backing this weekend? 74 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't say that post position is a 75 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: monster deal with only eight horses in the field for 76 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: me at least, I mean, I think with the mile 77 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: on a quarter. The thing about the Belmont is that 78 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: it's been so chalky over history, but that's a different track. 79 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: Like generally speaking, the Belmont has been won by the favorites. 80 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: So if you look at this field and you talk 81 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: about sovereignty and you talk about journalism, I think you 82 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: have to look past those two and I'm not sure 83 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: there's a horse that has a bad post pasion and 84 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: say like, Okay, I couldn't bet that horse because they're 85 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: too far on the outside. Just given the fact that 86 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: this hole, as we talked about it is looking to 87 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: the inside, there's a lot of horses that have decent 88 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: post positions that are not journalism and not sovereignty that 89 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: I don't think you exclude them just because of where 90 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: they pulled the number. 91 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: Okay, it seems like the Derby is probably the most 92 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: impactful when it comes to post positions. Matt, is that 93 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: what kind of what you would agree with? 94 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's the field, right, I mean, there's 95 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: twenty horses in the Derby. This is such a smaller field, Like, 96 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: you're not gonna have the same problems getting around if 97 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: you need to navigate and get through traffic. 98 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: You don't have that same problem here at the Belmont. 99 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: Okay, And before we get to the odds, be sure 100 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: download the free Betting Pros app for iOS and Android. 101 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: With the Sportsbook Sync feature, you can automatically track your 102 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: bets across all major books in one spot.

Now let's go ahead. General, Let's 109 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: break down the field. Coming off his win at the Preakness, 110 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: it's Journalism, who is eight to five currently as the favorite, 111 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: plus one sixty in American onds. We also have Kentucky 112 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: Derby winner Sovereignty back in the mix at two to one, 113 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: Bieza four to one, Rodriguez is six to one, hill 114 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: Road coming in at ten to one, Crudo at fifteen 115 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: to one, and uncaged the long shot at thirty to one. 116 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: Let's start by breaking down the overlays and the underlays. 117 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: Matt in your eyes, do you see any overlays offering 118 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: value or maybe some underlays that you're avoiding this weekend? 119 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: I mean, Bids is gonna be an interesting horse and 120 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: third in the Derby did not raise the Preakness. Have 121 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: brother of Mazed won theer three Derby Belmont Steaks winner 122 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: Door Knock as well with Living Pratt rioting. I really 123 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: want to see what that horse looks like. And in 124 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 2: terms of like value, it's tough, because again I think 125 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: it's Chalky. I think it's the two horses, and I 126 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: think we're gonna wind up seeing another battle between journalism 127 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: and sovereignty. 128 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: And so that's one two in a lot of ways 129 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: to me. 130 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: And then if you're looking for a trifecta, I'm looking 131 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: for the third place horse on this So to me, 132 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I want to see where the odds go 133 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: four to one, five to one. What do we get 134 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: out of a besa as terms of as we get 135 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 2: closer to post position, then you can try to add 136 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: that in. 137 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 3: But given value, I mean there's some long shots. I mean, 138 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: Crudo's interesting. 139 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: I mean, if you like Bobby Flay, you want to 140 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: go with that whole angle you want to go, you 141 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: want to go with that. I mean, could be fifteen, 142 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: could be twenty to one, not a bad post vision, 143 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 2: right at number in, right in the middle of the pack, 144 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 2: not horrible. 145 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: But I really feel like this is going to be 146 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: a chalky race. 147 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: Luke, do you have similar feelings that it really will 148 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: come down to sovereignty and journalism at the end of 149 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: this thing. 150 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 5: I really do. 151 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 4: And I think Baeza will come down there and he'll 152 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: probably end up being the third that Matt was talking 153 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 4: about as he as he has been to these horses 154 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 4: in the derby, I really think maybe Crudo I've something 155 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 4: to justify, could be the value in this race. As 156 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: Matt was talking about the Bobby Flay Angel, Bobby Flay 157 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 4: has been in the winner's circle at Belmont before, and 158 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 4: Crudo is a Pletcher trained horse, and Todd Pletcher as you. 159 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 5: Know, on Belmont Day past amount of Belmont's. 160 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 4: There's been sixty horses that have either one placed or 161 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 4: show and he's been responsible for twenty six and a 162 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: half percent of them. So his horses will finish in 163 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: the money. And so I think Crudo it's going to 164 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: bring the value to this trifecta super efector and if 165 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 4: he were to go off and somehow win, then the 166 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 4: exotics just exponentially increase. 167 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: Matt, is that how you're pretty much playing it when 168 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: it comes to the exotics. Not everyone wants to get 169 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: invested in outrights, but exotics have become wildly popular over 170 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: the years. Is that what you're doing? Are you putting 171 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: journalism sovereignty? And then Beza maybe is that third horse 172 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: or do you have any other exotics that you are 173 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: going to be playing this weekend? 174 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: I mean this, this is I don't want to sound boring, 175 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 2: because no one likes chalk, right, everybody likes the bomb. 176 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: Everybody wants to see, you know, somebody come from the outside. 177 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: Everyone wants to see the long shot come in and 178 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: cast your ticket. But forty two point six percent of 179 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: the time the favorite has won the Belmont. So I 180 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: think if you're talking about who's favored sovereignty or journalism, 181 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: you can take your pick there and as you rotate 182 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: around if you want to do exactly doesn't have different tickets. 183 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: With those two at the top, you can rotate them. 184 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: But I really do think those are your two best horses. 185 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: And you're talking about third place, that is Crudo in Beza, 186 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 2: And yes, those are the two horses that I would 187 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: look to if you're gonna go for a superfecta, if 188 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 2: you're going to go for a trifectaga, what are you 189 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: gonna play out? 190 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: Those are the two horses I think can have a 191 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: say as this goes. 192 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: But just I know, this is only the second race 193 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: you know that we've seen outside of the Belmont at Saratoga. 194 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: But it's still got going to be chalky with these 195 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: two horses. 196 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: And frankly, the Belmont wants that, I mean the Belmont 197 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 2: wants to They're pitting this as a heavyweight fight between 198 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: two contenders. 199 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 3: And the field. 200 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: Not to say that they're not going to be involved, 201 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 2: but it really does feel like we've got two horses 202 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: on the collision course. 203 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Okay, question for you here, Luke, like gun to the head, 204 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: is there a difference for you in the two heavy hitters, 205 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: Like is there one way you would lean or is 206 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: it just a sprinkle on both of them and hoping 207 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you can make some type of money because it feels 208 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: like it's gonna be tough at plus one sixty right 209 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: now for journalism and two to one for sovereignty to 210 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: make really anything if you do go with both of 211 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: them on the outright. 212 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 4: You know, when we talked before the Derby, I said 213 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 4: that if journalism could win the Derby, he could win 214 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 4: the triple Crown. I would like to stand by that. 215 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing against journalism is the head 216 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 4: to head at the Derby. It's there's not a lot 217 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 4: of horses that could take Journalism's kick like that and 218 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 4: stare him down eye to eye and beat him. So 219 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 4: the mental edge would go to Sovereignty a little bit 220 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 4: bit bit there as well as the rest because he's 221 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 4: been off since the derby, whereas this will be journalism's 222 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 4: third race in five weeks. While and while that is 223 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 4: the true spirit of the Triple Crown, without the Triple 224 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 4: Crown on the line and without sovereignty having to have 225 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: run at the Preakness, I just it'll be interesting to 226 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 4: see if journalism can really find find that late kick 227 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 4: to battle them. And it would be cool to see 228 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 4: something kind of like Aladar in a firms where it 229 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: was just the last half mile or last quarter mile, 230 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 4: just neck and neck, just pace for pace. 231 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 5: And it'll be really cool to see if we can 232 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 5: get a photo. 233 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: Finish like that year you kind of on that same 234 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: wavelength there, Matt. 235 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that's a dream, right. 236 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: I mean that's if you, as the volks at the Belmont, 237 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: you know, what do you want out of this race? 238 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: I think it's exactly that where you have these two 239 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: horses battling it out down the stretch and you get 240 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: really exciting last quarter quarter mile between these two horses 241 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: and they get to stare each other down and go 242 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: after it. I mean, these horses are competitive, they both 243 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: want to want to win. They know what they're in 244 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 2: and the jacket and the jockeys do as well well. 245 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: I mean I think if you're a horse racing fan, 246 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: this race has far more intrigue. And even if you're 247 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: a casual, this race will bring you to the television 248 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: set before the Preakness, because all that cold water got 249 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: thrown on there. The second that sovereignty said I'm not 250 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: running and I'm looking ahead to the Belmont, it was 251 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: like okay, But then the Belmont, the preak This rather, 252 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: it turned out to be one of the most insane 253 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: races we've seen in recent memory, with the amount of 254 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 2: contact in weaving through traffic. 255 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: So I think we're set up. 256 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 2: The hope is that the race will deliver because of 257 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: the excitement that's going to be built up towards it. 258 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: Are you looking for a smarter way to play, Well, 259 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: there's a new sports trading platform that's changing the game, 260 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: and it's called novig.

We know in the horse 284 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: racing world, we've talked about this for a long time, 285 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: just the different odds that we see because of the 286 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: fact that paramutual is different than betting on a sportsbook. 287 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: So Novig not that it's similar, but Novig gives you 288 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: a different option than what the sportsbook's off. 289 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: There you go bettingpros dot com slash juice if you 290 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: want to check it out. And let's go ahead, gentlemen, 291 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: and move into some long shot picks. Luke, do you 292 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: have any sleeper picks that we should consider jumping on 293 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: ahead of first call? Or is this just hey, we're 294 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: completely betting the chalk and leaving all the long shots 295 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: for another race. 296 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 4: I really think the long shots are kind of donations 297 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: in this you know, in this race, it's just it's 298 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 4: not you might you might get lucky, like like people 299 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 4: did with Dorknock last year. I think he went off 300 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 4: at seventeen to one. But you know, like Matt said, 301 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 4: historically the Belmont has been a favorites race, and especially 302 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 4: with these two, I guess you could see a long 303 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: shot would be like I said earlier, Rodriguez, and that 304 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 4: would take him. He's not even a long shot, but 305 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 4: that would take him. Bob Baffort, That's another thing. One 306 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 4: thing that gets lost in the controversy surrounding Bob Baffort 307 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 4: is that he raced. He trains all of his horses 308 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: to be as fast as they can be, and he 309 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 4: loves to get his horses out in front and knows 310 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 4: that the simplest way to win a race is get 311 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,479 Speaker 4: out in front and hold the lead. And if Rodriguez 312 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 4: can do that, especially in the shorter format, I really 313 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 4: think that that would be the biggest most likely I 314 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: guess horse to outside of the top two to finish 315 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 4: number one. 316 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: What about for you, Matt, do you have a yolo ticket, 317 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: any big payout play that we're not gonna hold you 318 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: to that you might be sprinkling a little bit on 319 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: this weekend. 320 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, not to tell like a parrot to Luke, but 321 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: I think he's absolutely right about the Rodrigaez thing. The 322 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: question is what do you consider a long shot? Because 323 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: where are the odds gonna go come post time for 324 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: Rodriguez five to one, four to one, I mean, is 325 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: that really a long shot per se as to what 326 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: we're considering winning the Wood Memorial. The problem is we 327 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: haven't seen but Reguez run, so like, we haven't seen 328 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 2: him in a race up against the two favorites in 329 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: journalism and sovereignty, So that's kind of an x factor. 330 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: So how does that horse run because he hasn't run 331 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: the two previous triple Crown legs. Maybe fresher, maybe you know, 332 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: more energy kicked down the stretch, So that would be 333 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: a horse I would look to. I mean, if you 334 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: want a Yolo ticket, leave sovereignty and leave journalism off. 335 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you want to go crazy, just no take take. 336 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: If you knock off those two horses, you have six 337 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: horses left. Find a couple that you like, Crudo, Beza 338 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: and Rodriguez. I mean, find some order to go ahead 339 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: and maybe a box those three horses, and you're gonna get 340 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: crazier odds. I mean that's how I think if you're 341 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 2: looking for the most like shocking out of outcomes, neither 342 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 2: one of those two top horses place. 343 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: But again I think Luke's right. I mean, that's basically 344 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 3: a donation. 345 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: You're you're creating a ticket just for the fun of it, 346 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: knowing it's gonna lose. 347 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: No shot for on cage thirty to one. Is that 348 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: also a donation in your guys's eyes kind of? 349 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: I mean it's I think there's problems again, there's going 350 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: to be long shots. The Peter Pan Steaks came in six. 351 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: I mean it's it's Pletcher, so obviously you have a 352 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: name horse there. It did not run in either of 353 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: the races, so uncaged maybe. I mean again, it feels 354 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: like a donation. You can take the flyer if you want, 355 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: but I don't think. I don't want to completely throw 356 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: water on it. But yeah, kinda no. 357 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: The same for you, Luke. 358 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 4: I think if you wanted to go with a long 359 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 4: shot and only bet one, it would be on cage 360 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 4: just because of like the lottery ticket of odds. 361 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 5: I liked him a lot more before the Peter Pan. 362 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 4: I was looking at him looking towards this race. I 363 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 4: had my eye on him as because the Peter Pan, 364 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 4: you know, can be a good feeder into this race. 365 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: But I was very disheartened by his six plates run there, 366 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 4: and I was really actually surprised that they ran them 367 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 4: out here again for the Belmont. 368 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 5: Because of that. 369 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 4: To what Matt said, because it's such a small field, 370 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 4: if you did take journalism in sovereignty, album wanted to 371 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 4: do that moonshot, you could do a twenty cent trifecta box. 372 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 4: I think it would only be thirty six dollars and 373 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 4: it's most likely going to lose because both those guys 374 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 4: aren't probably going to fail to hit the board. But 375 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 4: it's not as expense to play what the lottery ticket 376 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: and Matt said, and you know, for thirty six bucks, 377 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 4: if those both those horses fail to hit, it's gonna 378 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 4: be way more than thirty six dollars. 379 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 1: Okay, well, gentlemen, it was an absolute pleasure chopping up 380 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: with you once again on this episode.
