TG--So I'm sitting here trying to figure out what can go wrong. I got in strong early on Harlan's Holiday (40-1), Request For Parole (60-1) and Perfect Drift (100-1), not parimutuel. In pool 2, I bet Essence Of Dubai (48-1), more on Perfect Drift (who we tried to buy, along with Request For Parole) at 91-1, and strong on the field (7-1), which includes Medaglia D'Oro, Equality and Buddha, among others. I have made no other bets.

I actually don't think Harlan's Holiday and Request For Parole are the right kind (the only one with big February numbers who has won the Derby is Thunder Gulch), but at the prices I'll take it.
