At this point I don't see a legitimate favorite. I'll be looking at Tomcito, Bob Black Jack, Smooth Air. Horses with longer odds.

Awesome. You took out the only horse of your picks that had a prayer of winning.

I don't understand. You like Court Vision because you think the pace is going to be wicked in the Derby, but then.. You like War Pass, too? Won't he be the one setting that clip?

save yourself some time and just use the "quick pick" button. You'd have a better chance

That might be good advice for all of us this year.

Jcs, Your going to get crap either way with the way you post. Your picking three weeks out for a race whose field is not known yet. You know not the weather, post positions, jockeys( a jockey could incur an injury in the next three weeks) weather or track condition. If you lose your a complete idiot for picking your horses three weeks out. If you win, your a idiot who finally got lucky. You don't seem to understand, your going to lose either way. Wait until they at least draw the derby and then make your picks. Even if your wrong, youll get alot less flack.

OK, I'm ready with my top five and I feel pretty confident here so don't give me any sh*t.

I've been looking over all the information and all the posts on Derby Trail, I've watched all the races and my top five are IN ORDER:
















12,
7,
8,
17,

and.......
11

Now, I don't want anyone coming back saying they liked these horses first.
So there!

What kind of jockey change would get you on/off a horse?
