only thing I usually throw out in the derby is my money.

If Churchill would allow me to place an Exacta on the 19th and 20th finishers, I would box Z Humor with Recapturetheglory.

Other than that, I think I'll have to wait for the draw and final field before really being confident in tossing anyone else.

What post would help you to decide to bet a horse like Anak Nakal?

I know Anak's races have been pretty questionable this year, but if this has been the main goal, he wouldn't have had to get any earnings to get here. I really think you might see a different horse on Derby Day with him, plus he will get the pace he needs, and there aren't many that are bred like he is to go this distance.

I know, I know, he hasn't done anything, but Zito would not be going if he didn't have confidence, and I just think he has a opportunity to hit the top 4

Well, I'm never one to run someone out of town when they're backing a longshot. Your reasoning is alright. And I've said it a hundred times... I suppose this year's Derby is so crazy it's really "anything goes."

I'm kind of in the same boat here. I'm no fan of Anak Nakal, but I can't say without question that I might not use him on a couple of tickets at the very bottom of a tri or super.

you don't like Proud Spell at all if she runs in the Derby, I know she is only 15%, but if she did run, I would definetely be using her.

I agree... I think both fillies would have a good shot to run in the money. I don't know that they can win if BB or Pyro "fire", but I would have a hard time leaving them off my tickets.

Do not like Eight Belles at all, matter of fact, I don't like her in the Oaks either

i'll use 1 or both fillies if they run, especially Eight Belles.

Eight Belles has not shot to win. Proud Spell would have a slight shot.

Hard Spun > Scat Daddy
Curlin > Scat Daddy
Imawildandcrazyguy < Scat Daddy
Sedgefield < Scat Daddy
Circular Quay = Scat Daddy
Tiago ???? Scat Daddy last year, Tiago looks good now so tossup.
Any Given Saturday > Scat Daddy
Sam P. < Scat Daddy
Nobiz Like Shobiz = Scat Daddy
Dominican < Scat Daddy
Zanjero < Scat Daddy
Great Hunter = Scat Daddy
Liquidity < Scat Daddy
Bwana Bull < Scat Daddy
Storm in May < Scat Daddy
Teuflesberg < Scat Daddy
Scat Daddy
Stormello < Scat Daddy
Cowtown Cat < Scat Daddy

So Nobiz, Great Hunter, and CQ were better than Any Given Saturday?

I did it quickly, you are right. I guess I would have to give the nod to AGS was better than Scat Daddy. I will correct it.

I ask myself the same question on some of your post.

[the_fat_man]

This is like being in a room with 2 pretty chicks and 15 fat ones and eliminating each of the fat ones, one by one, rather than just focusing on the 2 babes.

I doubt she can win, I agree with that, but I think she would have a better chance then most of hitting the board.....

[MISTERGEE]

and for throw outs i usually start by throwing out all california horses and poly specialists then go from there. gotta start somewhere

[brianwspencer]

Will Hank Goldberg be giving his pick out far enough in advance that I can make it an autotoss?
