I would go with Street Sense to win it again....but mares don't usually win the Derby.

The last two years I have trusted my computer program and have gone with Congaree....but that didn't work.

So....I think this year I am going with Black Beauty or Shadowfax.

Okay, why don't I leave the nice thread alone now?

Oh, Smooth Air.

Course if he draws post 20 I might have to go with Gayego.

(Oh stop laughing).

Big Brown over Colonel John with one of the fillies coming third and the other fourth with Court Vision fifth.

The more I think about it - the more I like Big Brown.

With a gun to my head I'd have to go with Big Brown, he's so much better than the rest of the horses in the field. Most likely winner relative to their odds I would have to go with Pyro. The Blue Grass was exactly what I was hoping for to make him a fair price.

I will most likely be making my bets around Big Brown.. But for pick 3's/pick4 bets.. I'll probably use Pyro & Col. John too.. I'm hoping a poor post position will eliminate one of these three from my handicapping.. helping to trim down the cost of my multi-race bets.
