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.

2011: Brilliant Speed was 7th from post 2. 2010: Ice Box was 2nd from post 2 2009: Musket Man was 3rd from post 2 2008: Tale of Ekati was 4th from post 2 2007: Curlin was 3rd from post 2 2006: Steppenwolfer was 3rd from post 2 2005: Andromeda's Hero was 8th from post 2 That's seven years in a row where the horse who drew post 2 finished in the top half of the field ... five out of the last six years they've finished in the top four ... and four out of the last six years they've finished in the top 3. Aptitude was a clear 2nd from post 2 in 2000. Real Quiet wore saddle cloth #2 but he actually broke from post 3. I won't mind posts 1 or 2 if a deep closer gets it.

Ferdinand is the last horse to win from post #1 in 1986. Risen Star the last horse to finish in the top 3 from a rail draw in 1988. Cryptoclearance was 4th from post #1 in '87.
