It's Derby Day. 🌹

Before you do anything else — go watch my conversation with Colin Sheehan of the Doubling Down YouTube channel. I'll link it right below. Colin went 5-for-5 in the major races last year (Derby, Preakness, Belmont, Travers, Breeder's Cup), he gave me Forever Young in the Breeder's Cup Classic, and he's the reason I was sitting at a bar in Aruba screaming at the TV last May when Sovereignty won last year’s Derby.

He's the real deal.

In the video, we break down how to actually handicap the Kentucky Derby if you've never bet a horse in your life, what the race shape looks like this year and which horses you cannot leave off your tickets. He also gives you the underrated long shot pick and exactly what to do with your $20.

If you're already a premium subscriber — everything is written out for you below. Colin's full breakdown: every horse he loves, every bet he's making, who he's fading, and everything you need to know to handicap this race like an expert.

Post time is 6:57 PM ET tonight. You've got time.

Want the full Colin Sheehan breakdown — his A-list picks, his reasoning on every horse, exactly how he's betting, who he's throwing out, and the handicapping framework he uses every single year? That's below the paywall for premium subscribers.

Did you miss the one-batter-only Hit Streak Survivor format like I did?

Our last few Splash Sports contests had you picking two batters a day — both had to get a hit to stay alive. The prize pools were bigger ($35K), but I heard you loud and clear: picking two is hard. One bad lineup decision, one cold bat, one late scratch and you're done. The margin for error is tough.

Well, Splash Sports heard it too.

Ariel's $20K Hit Streak Survivor is back — and you only have to pick ONE batter a day.

One batter. Gets a hit. You advance. That's it.

No sweating a second pick. No getting eliminated because your second guy got pulled in the 5th. Just you and one batter a night that gets a hit.

There's also a Cycle Jackpot built in — if the batter you pick hits for the cycle that day, you win a bonus $10,000. First eligible entry to pick a cycle hitter takes it.

The contest is $20 to enter, 1,112 spots total — and as a premium subscriber you're getting first dibs before I push this anywhere else. These fill up fast. Our last one was gone before the weekend was over and I have a feeling this one goes even quicker given the one-batter format.
