Honey Ryder Stakes - Race 11 at Gulfstream Park - Post Time 5:37 PM Eastern Mischievous Dream gets slight preference among three win contenders, the other two being Con Lima (the likely favorite) and Karakatsie.

The Sneak Attack

If you have been reading my columns here or at Past the Wire, then you already know a few things. I am fine with cashing less tickets but winning more money. I like to go for kill shots, ice cold wagers, hard singles, no reverse exactas, and of course, finding an edge. Believe it or not, Kentucky Derby day is a day you can sometimes find an edge, and it may not be at Churchill Downs. Yes, those big pools and recreational and educated money can create some great opportunities, but just about every sharpie [...]
