Las Vegas - Starting out this AMAZING day of wagering over in England and we're gonna drop some cash on Chelsea over Fulham. The Blues are sitting in 4th place, which is good for a ticket to the UEFA Champions League, but West Ham is just three points adrift, so expect a gigantic effort. You'll have to lay a big number, around -$220, but it's worth the effort. Why? Chelsea is unbeaten in 18 home games, yea, EIGHTEEN, against Fulham in all competitions since a second tier defeat in October 1979. All in on the Blues for the GREEN!!!

Back to the States where we like a pair of games on the baseball board and gonna suggest a little two team parlay. Start with the A's over the Orioles. Still not convinced that Matt Harvey is all the way back, and Oakland has enough sticks to roll past Baltimore. Then we move to the desert and attach the D'backs as the second half of the wager. 'Zona is playing real well, winning eight of the last 10 (not including last night), and as long as Zac Gallen is on the mound, the parlay is a GO!

Now, grab a Mint julep and a dozen Roses because it's time for the Kentucky Derby. And my main man, Martin Calia, has everything you need to fatten up the bank account. And CONGRATS to Marty for the WINNER in the Oaks yesterday. Talk to us Marty!

'So, we are back at the Derby starting on the first Saturday in May! Life starts to get back to normal. I know everyone the last few weeks is trying to find that Derby long shot. If you read all the tout sheets and handicappers, they don't like the Derby favorite, Essential Quality. I'm not one of them and I'll tell you why. He is undefeated entering the Derby and is trained at the hot barn of Brad Cox. He has kept this horse happy and winning since his 2 year old campaign as juvenile champ. Although his Beyer speed ratings don't scare anyone, they are near the top of this field. EQ also towers over this group in the Thoro-Graph ratings as he is the only horse in the field to run a negative number. Here are some more stats in case you're not convinced. Besides being undefeated as a 2 year old and winning his first two starts at three years old, he has the most wins in the field (5), most Grade 1 wins (2), most distance wins (4), and is in his 3rd race of his run cycle which is when a horse runs his best. So, let's place a Benjamin on #14 Essential Quality to win and a $5 exacta, wheel #14 with all. If you like trifectas, we will place #14 on top over the 1-3-7-8-9-10-11-12-17.'

RIDER UP BAABBBEEE!!!
