Woodbine’s on-air Thoroughbred personalities each compiled a $50 ticket for Saturday’s running of the 149th Kentucky Derby. Jeff Bratt The bets: $10 to win and place on #17 Derma Sotogake $1 Exactor box 2,4,5,6,15,17 The rationale: “It’s only a matter of time before a Japanese-bred wins the Kentucky Derby, and Derma Sotogake may be their best shot yet. A hot pace is always a concern in this event, but I’ll take a shot that history is made on Saturday.” Jeff Bratt Monique Vag The bets: $1 Tri ($48) $2 Win #14 Angel of Empire 14,15 2,5,10,14,15 2,3,5,8,10,11,14,15 The rationale: “Angel of Empire had a strong burst of speed around the final turn in the Arkansas Derby. He shouldn’t be too far out of it early and should get a good chance to run them down late. “For value for the tri, I tried to add in a lot of horses with different running styles underneath. The pace of the race is a big question mark so it makes it interesting to hypothesize if anyone can come from really far back.” Monique Vag (New Image Media) Share This:Share
