I totally agree. I am leaning towards a 10-1 or so less horse winning.

I'm playing Candy, Lucky and Ice Box. Good odds on all and hoping for nice exacta/ triple payout.

I like Sidney's Candy, Icebox, and Backtalk. I am going to bet one to win place, and if Sid's Candy stays double digits I think it's time to load up.

Jackson Bend has no shot, but you like Backtalk?

I think Mission Impaz is improving and could do well today and break Todd's winless streak. The more I looked at him, the more I liked him. (Oh who am I kidding. I picked him because he is a roan. haha! I didn't really. I actually like him on paper but isn't that what women are supposed to say? "THE HORSE IS A PRETTY GREY".)

But I think that Jackson Bend and Ice Box will be up for some money.

Got Conveyance in my annual Derby pool at work. So we KNOW he won't win. I nine times out of ten pick the rabbit in the pool. :)

I actually threw out Backtalk. (Hubby loves this horse though and I have no clue why.) I also threw out Sidney's Candy. He is not a Big Brown to win from the 20 hole.

Ice Box I really like though.

Happy Birthday. :)

Backtalk is 2 fof 2 at Churchill Downs and 2 for 2 on wet tracks

Playin' the Filly,the filly,the filly.

Hollywood's Willshire (race 9)-Medaglia D 'Amour
Belmont's Fort Marcy(race 9)-Storm Play

I thought about this post the whole race. Nice handicapping. That horse ran really nice.

Sorry PETA, looks like Devil May Care made it back to the barn okay.

:tro:

:$:

Icebox ran huge and most likely wins if he doesn't have stop and restart, tough break for his connections.

I agree about Icebox. He proved his Fla derby was no fluke
He was my second choice. Indeed he ran second.
Sidney was my top choice. A disappointmnet & I don't think Talamo did anything wrong.
[i]t was a good derby and Borel was brilliant
Good Derby, I enjoyed it. I wish I would have won! Onward & upward to the Preakness. I'll root for Supersaver.

HOW ABOUT THAT, SATISH S. GIVING OUT THE TRIFECTA ON FRIDAYS SHOW:tro:

nice knowing ya!!!:D
just kidding.....i only hit the exacta, but thought it was a nice, even race.

the best moment of the day for me was General Quarters giving the big eff you to Court Vision and his crew...that was great!:p

Can't blame Gomez for Lucky's troubles this time when Garcia basically made a left turn straight into Lucky about a furlong into the race. That seemed unnecessary.

Actually Kent Desermeaux turned left into Garcia who had no where
to go but into Lucky, it wasn't his fault. I think they should just make the rail horse run with three legs, same handicap coming from that post, horse has no chance.
