In it for the long haul

Now that the Kentucky Derby has been made official and paid out, things return to normal here at the Downs and we settle in for our lengthy Spring meet. Although Kentucky Derby week is the most exciting time of the year for all of horse racing, our Spring meet never fails to produce top-class racing and events for the local crowd.

Competitive racing, along with the addition of Jill Byrne as our on-air handicapper promise to make this meet "the place to be" in racing over the next couple of months.

Make sure and check out Jill's full analysis along with Merv Huber's value plays on a daily basis, as these two can guide you in the right direction when going to the windows.

I'll be back to throw out some Super Hi-5 tickets and hopefully redeem myself from this Fall's 0-fer in the Pick 4 department.

Good luck, and here's to a successful Spring Meet.

UPDATE: Let's have a play of the day here, and you guys come back with your top pick. Big Pick-6 and Super Hi-5 Carryovers should put plenty in the pools, and there are plenty of opportunities to make some $$$

My top selection is in the last of the day,

Race 9:

#8 - TRANSPOSE coming in off of the layoff at a lower level than he is accustomed. I'm firing!!!
