Excuse me for missing the obvious....it's Derbytime and people are prone to make even the most inane comments seriously.

My negatives for Big Brown
- Beat what?
- Bred to stop at 8f
- running style

Add, never had to look a horse that isn't going to quit in the eye. (Maybe Big Brown wont slow down long enough for them to look him in the eye.)

You said he should be 1:5.

As far as handicapping this race.....they draw in about 52 hours. I have, however, handicapped the first two days at Belmont. I've found 12 better races to bet than this year's Derby.

....i agree

Side note, it sure is refreshing to see opening day at Belmont only 48 hours away.

I agree, love how they put 5 turf races a day sometimes....and most of the time, BACK TO BACK..what a concept

You found 12 races in the first two days at Belmont that are better races to bet than a race with an 8/1 shot that is a near cinch to run in the exacta, while in a race that has about 15 throwouts in it!?

Straight cash.

It seems to have stopped raining. I will remain optimistic......it's hard not to for the best day of the year in NYC.

Don't forget, we haven't had any rain for weeks really. We could use some.

What MTO's? They'll be scratched when it's fast and firm

I like the card.

Would love to, but taking off Friday already to be at CD for the Oaks... unless I catch a surprise midweek cold!

because the horse will be short, running 1and 1/4 off three races , hes by boundry, his first 2 races were supposed to be turf. and then some moron that claims to be following the derby for 24 years thinks he should be 1-5. thats enough for me to bet anybody but . he may hit the board. i will be very surprised if he wins. i've followed more than 24 derbies and seen many a big brown go down the toilet. like a "bigbrown" should....lol

[alysheba4]

well, who do you like johnny pinhead? anyone moron can say who WONT WIN.
