If you liked I Want Revenge before the Wood you should love him now.

I wait until the post positions are drawn and make my choice based on who appears to be the best value.

No offense, but whoever you pick will be an auto toss for me....4 in a row, no way.

i've met a lot of women at the track. in the last year i've gotten laid 15 times after meeting someone at the track and only failed to bed 2 i had any interest in. after last years santa anita derby, i did a pair of 22 year old twins. not bad for a guy that turns 52 next month. but anyway, i didn't come on here to parade my incredible sexual prowess.

I usually find making money the most compelling reason to pick the Derby winner. Bragging rights are good too. Personal satisfaction? The reasons are literally endless.

To each his own.

Who'll ride IWR in the Derby? If J.R. is not riding Quality Road could he ride IWR? I hope not because J.R. hasn't done very well in past Derby rides.

Why would JR ride IWR and not Talamo?

Best rider available maybe? I don't know just saying some trainers use different riders.

Just out of curiousity, what horse did J.R. ride in the Derby that should of won but didn't because of his ride? Why would he be any less of a rider in a Derby than any other race?

Built for Pleasure would have won by open lengths with someone else aboard. Exhibit #1:

BUILT FOR PLEASURE, well out in the track while between horses, raced forwardly into the backstretch but was finished before reaching the far turn...would have certainly destroyed Grindstone with a different jockey aboard.

Case closed.

I love Friesan Fire, and others, but IWR is the horse baby! 20 horses inthe Derby, who can stop, start and move better than IWR?
