I’ve been really dialed into picking just one horse. I’m so excited and I didn’t even have a midnight interlude with a mucho macho man or anything like that, but even so, my pants are on fire. Go figure. I keep drinking water but it seems I’m staying thirsty anyway.

Now I know a lot of the contenders are lacking brilliant speed this year, but it’s a decisive moment when you have to pick just one horse.

I’ve been trying to pick just one horse for weeks now. I went fox hunting the other day which I have not done in ages. I wanted to go badly because my Uncle Mo is the Master of Hounds at my local hunt and he really knows thoroughbreds. When I asked him about the Derby, he said, “It’s a real animal kingdom out there this year”. Then he told me, “I swear on Anthony’s cross that I should have never soldat two year old I had last year ‘cause he had twice the appeal that any of these horses have that are going into the Derby”.

The next thing you know, Uncle Mo yells, “watch me go”! And we’re off running through the fields again.

As we were cantering along, I had trouble with my horse Toby trying to get him to turn a corner. My uncle could see I was having trouble because Toby took off galloping toward a bridge. It was a low bridge and my uncle yelled to me, “arch”! I yelled back “what”? My Uncle then yelled “arch, arch, arch! Low bridge, watch out for the low arch”. Well luckily I got Toby to slow down and my uncle caught up with me.

I looked at my Uncle and said, “well, who do you like in the Derby?” My Uncle replied, “I kinda like Nehro, Santiva, and Comma to the Top”. I looked back at my Uncle and said, “you can only pick one horse”.
clever!
