Triple Crown ?

Demand value. I like Col. J but he'll hit Churchill with not a single dirt race on his resume.

Geesh, you are the curse of all curses.

Pick another horse, PLEASE.

I think even Battaglia said it on NBC. There will be 3 heavy favorites, Big Brown, Colonel John and Pyro assuming he doesn't fall flat next weekend and everybody else will be 10-1 or higher. If you like one of those three I wouldn't expect much better than 5 or 6 to 1.

I'm still hoping I can get better than 6-1 on Colonel John.

Looks like he is 10-1 in the future pool so perhaps I am off but I don't think he will be that high on Derby day. Pyro needs to have a monster performance in the Blue Grass and you might get better.

Sort of what Zenyatta did not even 9 hours ago on an Oaklawn DIRT track against ELDERS in a class hike. The poly to dirt angle is over-exagerated. Colonel John is the perfect horse to key around 10 horses for the tri and 5 for the super. He'll either be good enough to run them down or he won't. My money will be on him as long as jcs doesnt hail him. Which I might be $hit out of luck with.

As far as the sub 20 boxes of ziti super goes, I'm a believer. The obvious ones will be there at the end. There's playable ones, and then there's 16 others.
