Rain would be a fitting ending to the chaos of this year...although sometimes clusters like this end up being chalky...we'll see!

The only thing that could have been even worse for Lucky would have been if Cardiff Giant had made the field and drawn post 2, that slug has come in on Lucky in his last two causing him to be piched back, at least Ice Box is a dead closer.

Lost in all the Derby PP talk is the fact that the Curse of Exterminator lives on for yet another year.

that's funny because I can't ever remember it happening. The wiseguy horse is usually an autotoss.

I'll be damned if I toss Calvin Borel on any of my tickets for this Derby. His track record at Churchill speaks volumes.

Is there really a wise guy horse this year? If so, I'd say Paddy O'Prado is creeping into that picture.

Don't knock the tactic of repeating things aloud. One of these days Bloody Mary is gonna appear in the middle of an elementary school bathroom mirror and scare the crap out of an 8 year old girl.

I know folks are bemoaning a lack of Setsuko in the Derby, but he's going in the American Turf right? We might have an interesting group of turf runners this year. Maybe it's all in my head, but there are some I'm looking forward to seeing this year. Perhaps a decent U.S. BC contingent?

Well, you do have about six to ten really nice turf horses running in the Derby on Saturday, so there is that.
