The only way I DON'T use UNION RAGS is if.......he gets post #1 or #20 I still think he's the most talented of the bunch and looking at getting MAYBE between 5-1 & 8-1 odds on him......as for my 2 tosses, IF they WIN the Derby, I QUIT BETTING......at least until Saratoga!

Using: Rags, even if he draws the rail I'll use under
Tossing: Alpha, Dullahan (top) and Gemologist- there's your exacta smartasses.

i'd have to think t'burg is at the top of everyone's toss list.


imo dullahan is the one i'm not sure on. a good horse, but is 0-3 at churchill. seems he'd like the distance, is doing well-but what will he on that surface this time around? not sure i'd toss him-how can you ignore him? by the same token tho, there are doubts....but there's doubts about several.

i think this is wide open, moreso than many previous derbies.

Hard to make any of these decisions prior to most of the final works, clocker reports, post positions, and other relevant info. All of that being said, I can't help but root for Hamilton Smith and Done Talking.
