12. R Harper Rose (ML 12-1)

Bet Impel (ML 5-2) to win and place.

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


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

Impel's final odd will most likely be right around 8-5 (or even lower) as a favorite.

Take this easy money 5/2 (or at whatever the price is -- 8/5 is my guess) and leave the racetrack as a winner.

There you have it: Easy money!



HAPPY KENTUCKY OAKS DAY EVERYONE!
