***Change Alert! With The Puma scratching, Larry has had to re-do his Kentucky Derby picks. He will leave his original bets below what his is betting today after the late scratch.

(Katlama, WA) The 2026 season is here and Larry is set for a winning run in the 30th season. Each race day Larry will have his betting picks available and when he gets hot you want to pay attention. If he’s cold then use his picks as what not to bet.
