who you like?

Going to get my program tomorrow, cant wait!!!

I will also be getting mine Ice.

I want to take a close look at visionaire. I still like Pyro. That last race is a throw out to me. He just didn't like the track.

Big Brown with the shit post and a bounce off that last race doesn't have much of a chance.

I like Z Fortune and Visionare and I'll prob bet Pyro because I'llll bee drunk kkk

I know next to shit about ponies

my vacation money.......#6 #19:monsters- :smoker2: :toast:

My concern is not having the time to get to the track before post-time?

BetEd is giving a 75% rebate on your 1st losing wager....which i assume to mean you have to make more than 1 ...

longshot Tri box 6-16-18

don't see how you can leave out colonel john in the exotics, remember the owners of big brown could have taken an inside post-they chose not to-so you gotta put 20 in the mix, as well.

#7 50-1 hoping to get $132.40 on a #2 win bet.

50-1 would be about $102.


LOL Why do you need $132.40

As much as I hate to even think about taking the chalk in the derby, I don't see anyone closing on BB.

Its the 5 horse all the way.

You have to handicap a little differently now with all that rain today!

Pyro, but I'm biased, I know the guy that owns the horse.

Thats who im on Good Luck!!

Big Brown is a monster...can win from the outside...back him up with Court Vision....

Big Brown

I think the very outside is a good spot for a young inexperienced horse like Big Brown..Yes, he's breaking way out in right field..But the good news is he won't have a horse on both sides of him breaking in traffic. Probably the number one concern this owner/trainer was thinking about with the post. I have him as having better early speed than five of the horses directly inside of him. I think he can get position by the time they hit the first turn..The only question I have about him is if he'll have enough left in the tank after fighting for position to get the mile and a quarter distance ...But I have alot more questions about the rest of the field..I know Steve Assmussen. And I really like his horse Pyro..But on form when was the last time that you saw a horse put in a terrible performance like he did last race and come back and win the Derby? I've looked at alot of my derby forms from the past..And I've never seen a horse win the derby on that kind of form. I know there's always a first time..But I tend to like Pyro for the second or third spot more than winning it.

-How long will the performance of "My Old Kentucky Home" be? The over/under is 3 minutes.
I took the under. Here's where my video library of every Kentucky Derby TV broadcast since 1992 comes in handy. Each year, the University of Louisville marching band plays the song, and last year it took 1 minute, 39 seconds, just about the same time it always does. Unless the band director has a seizure in the middle of the song, I'm planning to cash this one

Pletcher steals it under the radar w/ either Monba or Cowboy Cal. I like them both.
