I do too, but little mike will most likely be on the lead which won't help him.

Doubles Partner or Turbo Compressor.

Haven't studied PP's yet but based on what I've seen in the preps and the draw...Gemologist will take some beating and Creative Cause drew well.

I think Brilliant speed @12-1 is worth a few bucks. I just hope this year NBC has fixed the audio so you can't her Johnsons' call interfering with Cullmus' call.

Joe, I gotta use Slim Shadey on at least one horizontal ticket. Will probably fool with him a little underneath in some exactas, too. Price will be too good and it seems Callaghan has him going in the right direction. Looks like he should be sitting a few lengths off the lead and may get an early jump. D Flo is more than capable on the grass. Shorter distance is a little bit of a concern, but I think he is worth taking a few stabs at.

He's out of his league IMO.

Good stuff, Doug. Thanks. Love the dig at Indian Charlie too.

[Calzone Lord]

Thanks. I snuck one in on Lukas as well 'Optimizer is trained by the Minimizer' ... if only PG '85 had a five-star lock!

I am boxing your picks and Serling's in a .10 super--I will be farting through silk by Saturday night.

Ignore DrugS at your peril, people.

[Calzone Lord]

I'm not sure you'll be able to get down on a 10-cent superfecta in the Derby.

I think the minimum is $1 all day long.

I may follow your lead and bring a jar of chocolate covered nuts to the track with me. It's going to be a long day Saturday.

Great piece, Doug.

Regarding Dullahan, is there any question in your mind as to how he handles the dirt tomorrow? That's the one issue that has kept dogging me about him.

Also, what do you make of the recent fuss over Creative Cause's shoe/hoof? I'm inclined to ignore it, though perhaps at my own peril.

Personally for me, I feel like he will handle the surface just fine. My question is do you think he will handle the dirt in the face? He looked a bit uncomfortable early in the BC juvy behind horses. Once he got clear he seemed to run much better.
