i tend not to root for or against (except last year) horses in the derby. i'm not keen on the half owner, or the trainer, but i think i want revenge is going to win. the only gr 1 winner on dirt in the field, how bizarre!

i'm somewhat surprised anyone is naming 'hold me back'. mott, from what i read after his win in his 3 yo bow, doesn't like his horses chance at all on dirt. he said to look at his remsen 'run'-that the horse didn't have a straw in his path, but still ran poorly. he then mentioned his successes on poly...

I will take Dunkirk.

$2 win on Smarty Jones

I like Friesen Fire as well. Physically he ready enough and mentally , which I really like, he's rarin to go .

My Derby wagers, $6 win on Chocolate Candy; $1 three horse exacta box of Choco, Ransom and Revenge; $1 three horse tri box of Choco/Ransom and Revenge

Total cost $18

2 - Musket Man
6 - Friesan Fire
10 - Regal Ransom
3 - Mr Hot Stuff

Historically I suck at picking Derby winners. This year should be no different.

$200 win - ADVICE

oooooooooootay my picks are in:

Dunkirk if the track is fast

Friesan Fire if the track is wet

1.) Friesan Fire
2.) Papa Clem
3.) I Want Revenge
4.) Dunkirk

Good luck, all! :)

Regal Ransom and Desert Party

I Want Revenge, I used Dunkirk too in my Oaks/WF/Derby Pick 3.

Maybe it is just me, but I thought he looked like he needed to lay down and take a nap he was so exausted through that last furlong here last month.
Based primarily on the way he finished up that race, but also on the lack of stamina in his pedigree, I don't see how the 10f will do anything but hurt him.

Sorry, but there is just no way he holds off Friends Lake down the stretch.

In a work or race?? The horse shows up on race day PERIOD

tickets have been punched and so I am on record so if it comes thru I will not be a red boarder etc (is that the right name?)

exacta box Musket Man, Friesan Fire, Papa Clem, Dunkirk and Flying Private

win and place bet on Musket Man

Desert Party...

I plan to bet everything I have on Visit in race 8 though, so she needs to win or else I'm tapped out.

I predict the successor to Big Brown as Kentucky Derby Champion will be Chocolate Candy.

I went with:
1. Friesan Fire
2. Pioneerof the Nile
3. Musket Man

Would be more than happy to see Pioneer win to shut up certain know it alls on here or one of the Dubai horses to silence those that say that their way will never work.

west coast bernie is my bomb horse. good luck all
