I went with all the Pletcher/Velazquez horses I could find... let's see how trainer/jockey handicapping works out, seeing how Pletcher was hot last year in the first weeks. Any races without Pletcher entries I tried to go with Leparoux or Edgar Prado, although I think Eiber Coa will come back and bite me for ignoring him... so now my picks look totally different than everyone else' B).

MWA! I always end up picking the tiger/cat horses.. without knowing pedigrees, that's my bias

Massoud helped Johnny V kick off what will hopefully be a successful (and safe) meet, winning the opener by about 4 1/2. Graham Motion trains.

Race 2 goes to Godolphin and Edgar Prado with heavily favored Rondo... a much the best winner.

Busters Rodeo pulls of an upset in the 3rd!

Emily Mitchell · Post by **Emily Mitchell** » 18 years ago

Silver Timber took the 4th race in course record time.

Ugh, I don't think Pletcher is as hot as he was last year anymore. His runners aren't carrying me through! Then again.. he hasn't had many entries yet in the fist couple races.

City Snitch wins the 5th impressively. i shouldve bet leparoux across the board...

Now Laura F. and Tammy Fox also have 2 wins.

City Snitch took the 5th
