Kentucky Derby Bombs & Roses: 7-11 Picks, Undercard Best Bets & Derby Props | Bottom Line Bombs
CJ Sullivan hosts a special Kentucky Derby Week episode of Bottom Line Bombs featuring horse owner Joe “Jeb” Besseker (credited with 1200 wins as a solo owner) breaking down Churchill Downs races leading into the Derby and sharing betting strategy. Besseker highlights undercard picks including Pin Up Betty and Sweet Rebecca (Race 7), calls Crude Velocity his best bet of the weekend in the Pat Day Mile (Race 8), likes Stark Contrast strongly in the American Turf (Race 9), and recommends Point Dune as a long-shot board/win threat in the Churchill Downs Stakes (Race 10) alongside Cornucopian and Knights Bridge. For the Derby, he emphasizes how wide-open the field is, keys long shot Incredible, also likes Japanese contender Danen Bourbon, and leans toward Renegade due to Irad Ortiz Jr., while using contenders like Commandment, Chief Wallaby, and the Puma. CJ adds Derby novelty props, plugs sponsors, and gives other sports plays (Lakers, Celtics, and Edmonton/Anaheim over).
