Editor’s Note:

This week, my great friend, Dennis Trusty, and I are taking a little light-hearted “Challenge” to see who can pick the most winners at Churchill Downs. If Dennis wants, we may add in the Belmont Stakes card on Saturday, as well. We started the “competition” on Wednesday, and the “old man” got the best of the young gun and whipper snapper. Bested him by a nose — a single win.

But…

I am no fool who counts his money while he sits at the table. There will be time enough…oh, you get the rest.

Here’s a look at the Wednesday action results and a glimpse at our Twilight Thursday picks.

Dennis is a “closer.” I know. And, he will make a bold move.

Stay tuned.
