Which horses

will you be rooting for to win or do well on BC day? I have a few that have taken my heart away, and some I won't even bet on except in my exotics. Heck, I may not even bet on a few of them at all.

#1 Lava Man-This horse wasn't supposed to be nearly as good as he is. If he wins the Classic, it would be one of the greatest horse racing stories of all time. It would become a legend. He is my favorite horse running right now.

#2 Bernardini-Perhaps the most talented horse since the Bid.

#3 Gorella-Love this filly. I hope she brings it and turns it on this Saturday.

#4 Ouija Board-Same as Gorella.

#5 Lawyer Ron-I've always been a huge fan of this horse.

#6 Dreaming of Anna-Because she can beat the boys, and I would love for her to go on and do some great things.

#7 Giacomo-Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I have just gotten tired of everyone dissing him. At least he has one fan.

#8 Great Hunter-I like his name. The name reminds me of my horse.

#9 English Channel-My mom likes him so I love him.

#10 Henny Hughes-I have always been a fan of this guy. He is brillant.

#11 Happy Ticket-She made me a huge fan when she beat Oonagh Maccool earlier this year.

Afleet Alex is my favorite horse of all time.

I just feel sorry for Giacomo because he always gets dissed. I know he is a slow plodder...well, I guess he isn't THAT slow. I mean he does pop up and win a nice race about once a year.

Yes, Point Given was a very talented horse. In fact, I think that Point Given could have been a GREAT horse if he would have kept running. However, I think that Bernardini will prove to be the better one of the two this Saturday.

Of course, some of these horses that I cheer for I won't be betting on. However, I am the kind of person that cheers for certain horses if they win, even if I just lost my bets because of them. I bet for fun. It is always nice to win money, and that is what I try to do. But, it never is a big deal if I lose the money because I only bet money that I can afford to lose anyway.

Im not sure if I name any of my pets Giacomo let alone my kid, needless to say Im not Sting either....talking about Derby 05, rabbits did him a huge favor that day and he is not a proven champion. Since, he hasnt won a race, may be once.. therefore not worthy of KY Derby. Look at Funny Cide, almost shares the same fate (only FC won a bit more)

Giacomo is worthy of the Kentucky Derby because he WON the Kentucky Derby. Nobody can take that day away from him... rat or not.

1.) Lava Man (same reason as Jessica.)
2.) Silverfoot (God, I love this horse...)
3.) English Channel (because of Kevin)
4.) Gatorize (how can you not like a filly with that name?

)
5.) Perfect Drift (I am so tired of hearing that this horse is a cheater and a hanger.)
6.) Happy Ticket (I like this classy mare.)
7.) Kelly's Landing (he loves CD.)
