Derby Bill Watson podcast: Haskell Day 2018 and the MATCH Series

DERBY BILL'S HASKELL PICKS

Race Particulars: Race 12 (5:45 pm EDT), $1 million purse for three-year-olds, 1 1/8 miles

1. #6 Good Magic (6-5): Clearly the second-best three-year-old in the country through the end of the Triple Crown, inherits the mantle with retirement of Justify
2. #5 Bravazo (3-1): Came running late to nab second in the Preakness in May but was empty in the Belmont; another Belmont also-ran, Tenfold, took the Jim Dandy on Saturday
3. #4 Core Beliefs (4-1): Nose winner of the G3 Ohio Derby is moving in the right direction

How to play it

Derby Bill says... in exactas and triples, single Good Magic over all and hope for bombers to grab the second and/or third slots. He's confidently singling Good Magic in multi-race wagers and looking for value elsewhere.
