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...

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

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.

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.
