Picks for Tuesday April 30, 2024:


DERBY WEEK THIS WEEK!

HAPPY DERBY WEEK EVERYONE!



LET'S KICK OFF THE FIRST DAY OF RACING ON DERBY WEEK OFF WITH A BANG!


A BANG! -- OH BOY! -- ARE WE EVER?


OR SHOULD I SAY: A BATTEN DOWN!


1 1/4 Miles | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up | MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT | PURSE: $120,000


Track: Churchill Downs
Race: 4


Surface: Dirt

Horse: Batten Down (ML 1-1).


Field (in post position order):

1. Bricklayer (ML 5-1)
2. Batten Down (ML 1-1)
3. Mo Rum (ML 8-1)
4. Get Ahead Now (ML 15-1)
5. Bettera (ML 8-1)
6. Daily Grind (ML 7-2)
7. Let's Bounce (ML 12-1)



Bet Batten Down (ML 1-1) to win and place.

Yes, that is right: WIN/PLACE to kick off the Derby Week off with a Bang!


Put some considerable amount of money on Batten Down to win to make it worthwhile and justified going to the racetrack.

Batten Down's final odd will most likely be right around 1-2 (or even lower) as a very heavy favorite against a very small weak field of six horses.

Batten Down will win this race in a romp as a 2/5 should.

This is the easiest 1/1 money you'll ever going to get on the card at Churchill Downs or at any other racetracks on this first day of racing on Derby Week Tuesday April 30, 2024.

Take this easy money 1/1 (or at whatever the price is -- 2/5 is my guess) and leave the racetrack as a winner.


Hey, a win is a win instead of chasing some longshots in hope of a big payoff as most horseplayers often do to no avail.

There you have it: Easy money!



HAPPY DERBY WEEK EVERYONE!
