As we all know, the Kentucky Derby has been postponed until September 5th due to unmitigated circumstances. When that happened, it created an opportunity for smaller tracks like Oaklawn Park to postpone their derby and jump in to grab that May 2nd date for a larger exposure. Not only did this create a large clamor for this track, it also created a huge attraction to trainers and owners to run their horse in this Arkansas derby to try and get some qualifying points for the Kentucky Derby. The field here has become very competitive and the sports betting handle will be very large. The Demand for this race was so large that the race was split into 2 phases in Race 11 and Race 13 both with qualifying points awarded to the top 4 finishers of each race to put their hat into the Kentucky Derby later this year. I want to remind everyone that I do not give out horse racing picks professionally but I do know more than the average Joe and here are some of my plays.
Race 11: If you listened to the podcast, you would know that Charlatan has a very easy field here and even more now since Shooters Shoot was a late scratch. This horse should win this race and here are some plays but no value for WPS on him:
