Byk has 30 hours in a day, I would almost guarantee that he will have it updated by about 7pm CST

That sucks. . . I was hoping for Cornelio now that WP is out. . .

I hope BBJ gets in. His last race showed me something about him and I want to see more or find out if he is just a sprinter, I am thinking he may not be.

I think the last race showed he isnt just a sprinter. And switching to dirt imo would be more beneficial to his running style. He is a better horse when he makes the lead, not when he sits just right off it. I'd like to see this horse get sent to the lead in the Derby. At 15/1 or higher, there are definetely worst stabs in this race, especially now that his chief rival War Pass is out. I also like the fact Solis was so eager to committ to this horse 3 weeks prior to the Derby, instead of playing the waiting game and shopping around, if you will. Lots to like.

I wish Denis of Cork could make the trip. He's the only live futures wager I have left.

Oh God, Gander saying my pick MAY have a shot? Honestly, after his last race I told my husband "I believe that is my Derby horse." It was the first thing that came to my mind. He ran WIDE into the final turn and was still game at the end of the race. I really like this horse.
