Any Given Saturday and Hard Spun should both be over 10-1. I consider that a pretty nice price.

He could be the forgotten horse in the betting. I think he is still a lot better than what he has shown. I like Dominican as a longshot seem like he is getting stronger with every race.

I used to use horses that ran 3rd in the Bluegrass (Closing Argument- Invisible Ink or was he 3rd in the Fl Derby) as my longshot play. Since the switch to Poly I don't think you can still use them. I will use Zanjero at least once but not for the win.

Any Given Saturday was close to beating Street Sense and Dominican did beat Street Sense. So, Since Street Sense is my barometer.. I can't really toss those two

Great Hunter ran as bad as Teuflesberg so if you like one can you toss the other?

I won't know who I am going to play until the draw

Looks like it's Shaun Bridgmohan - I'm shuddering at the thought

I'm actually glad he's on him. He had a couple of decent rides up on him.

I'm not particularly fond of Bridgmo. His winning season at Arlington went to his head rather quickly. Yes, he is a good jockey, but it's difficult for me to get past the 'tude. I just hope he rides Zanjero well, because I rather like that horse

No clue, but I feel like (and this is JMO) it is smarter to put a jockey that's already been up on the horse on for the Derby.

I totally agree with that!

And my longshot is Storm in May.

After looking at the past performances, you might be right. He is the only jockey who got him up there to win. I may have to put my personal feelings about Bridgmo aside on this one.

why is nobody mentioning SAM P.

I think he has a real shot at boxcar odds. He has had bad rides/trips and can move forward.

I agree. I'm at about 0% in considering him for the win, but wouldn't be shocked to see him in the 3-4 spot. He'll be on a few of my tickets in those spots.

With the lack of respect he has gotten, I think I would throw Scat Daddy into the mix. People seem to think he has a longshot chance of being in there...
