Our Derby Picks -- American Pharoah, Mubtaahij

By HorseracingFLA staff
Saturday, May 2  -- The scratch of International Star required us to re-think our suggested Kentucky Derby bets.

So with three hours until post, here goes:

For starters, our $60 in Kentucky Oaks bets were losers. We built our bets around exactas and trifectas with Stellar Wind and Birdatthewire. They finished fourth and fifth.

The good news is that we included Lovely Maria in the first leg of the Oaks-Derby double. We bet $8 and are alive with these four horses with these payoffs on  $1 bets:

*Mubtaahij $110
*Dortmund $ 40
*Frosted $  86
*American Pharoah $  28
