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.

![]() Using....All
Tossing....none Post positions,reports, weather and etc. Just too much to come before dumping anyone. For example a horse on the bubble like El Padrino and Take Charge Indy would go way up my list if it rains. |

![]() My last two derby picks, one thrown over the fence and came all the way back for 6th, the other broke something in the race and never ran again. I will not make a strong opinion anywhere before the draw this year lest my horse pull the 1 again.

![]() I'll use the same disclaimers that most people have cited such as: weather, workouts, pp draw, etc..............but I am leaning towards these 4 for the win bet:
Creative Cause I'll Have Another Daddy Nose Best Gemologist (Bubble Horses) Union Rags Dullahan Rousing Sermon (ridiculous I know, just think there's upside potential) Nothing shocking here but I believe the Pick 3's, Pick 4's, Oaks/Derby Double and Oaks/Woodford/Derby Pick 3 is where I'll be spending my time rather than the vertical wagers in the Derby.
