The race needs to be limited to 14 starters. Max. Unfortunately, this won't happen until there's a major spill. The KY Derby Stampede is completely unbettable. I'd rather bet big money on maiden claimers.

12 furlongs?
I used to be indecisive; now, I'm not so sure.

I love betting the race due to some huge exotics.

The Cliff's Edge Stakes which draws all the loser colts who couldn't even hit the board in the preps gets 20 pts for the winner.Which is 7 days away from the Ky Derby.While the Holy Bull gets 10 ? I am calling for a full investigation. I have made a call to a friend of mine who works for Oliver Stone. Trust me this isn't over. John Asher hung up on me on Monday. I will be calling back to CD today and will be taping the phone call,stand by.
