Thanks for the suggestions, I planned on playing Nobiz, Street sense, and Scat Daddy in a tri.
But I think my major play would be the pick 3 3 runners/2 runners/ wheel all. After all I am not there to bet chalk, I am there to win some good money. hopefully a long shot will win the race and I should have a solid payout on my hands!

I don't think I've heard of anyone betting 120 units on a Pick 3, I hope you are at least live. I would think you'd get more fun for you buck betting 80 tris and 40 supers with a better chance of a big score, and you wouldn't have to worry about being live when the big race comes around.

Allright, I am really starting to like Cowtown cat, after looking at the stats hes pretty impressive.
New play, 5/5/6 in the pick 3.
I am taking Cowtown cat, Nobiz, Street Sense, Scat Daddy, Curlin, Circular Quay..
Hopefully a few bombs will hit in the races before!

Bump. Has the post draw changed anyone's opinions? What should I be looking for on Saturday?

Curlin's really up against it with the 2 hole. Any Given Saturday looks like he'll have to race wide, just like every one of his previous races.

Two things to watch for imo. Track condition - it might rain between now and Saturday. It's hard saying which horses this will help or hurt. You need to watch how the track is playing (speed favoring, rail bias, etc.).
Also, watch how Todd Pletcher's horses run on Friday and early Saturday. He seems to have trouble on major race days (ie. drug testing). If his horses run well, especially in the Oaks on Friday, you should upgrade his Derby horses. I think Scat Daddy is his best chance.
