To think that just two short years ago, we had a seasoned 2 year old in Afleet Alex as the Kentucky Derby favorite. I don't believe that the problem is lack to talent in this year's crop, but, rather, lack of experience in order to try to evaluate the crop. For me, Street Sense won going away over the Churchill Track so he's the only horse that I'm taking very seriously right now. After the Florida Derby, Wood Memorial, Arkansas Derby, and Santa Anita Derby, hopefully, praise God and other dieities, we might know a whole lot more.

Steve,
Are you going to post your ballot on here for us? Interested to see how last weekend affected your support of Hard Spun, who I see has zero first-place votes now.

We passed out lifetime PPs of all horses prior to nominations and he was in the file. So, he was receiving votes based upon that. To be honest, I didn't know he was dead either but he has since been removed from the database. I certainly do not think this situation hinders the credibility of our panel as I know some of them post here and would agree. Thanks for checking out the site, we appreciate it, and keep reading!!

They had a write-up on Flying First Class up on DRF's website now.
Lukas seems very excited about having the now-rare chance to ruin another exciting prospect. "I'm definitely not worried about this horse going two turns," Lukas said. "This is a big, long-striding horse that will run from here to the Rocky Mountains. "He's got me getting up in the mornings."

In the EHorse betting exchange, Nobiz Like Shobiz is the favorite, and can be backed at odds of 10/1.
Only four horses are priced at odds of 25/1 or less. They are... Nobiz Like Showbiz (10/1) Ravel (13/1) Street Sense (15/1) Any Given Saturday (20/1) Many horses are availabe at odds of better than 100/1 Notable among them include Adore the Gold, EZ Warrior, Birdbirdistheword, Buffalo Man, Day Pass, Drums of Thunder, Imawildandcrazyguy, Noble Court, Storm in May, and Vicarino among many others.

Thought I didn't post it on this board before the race, I strongly felt he would lose the Southwest and said so before the race---I really saw a lot of circumstancial things against him going into that race. Honestly, the more times I watch his race on Monday, the more I seem to fall for it. I think he'd easily beat that same field again in a fairly run race, and with his rider putting him in the race early on. I guess the question was---how good was that field? Like you, I would also have him at #7 on my Derby list....but I would have had him in that same spot going into the race. If I was more confident in the validitiy of the 100 Beyer figure the race got, I'd even be a tad bit tempted to move him up a spot.
