a REAL interesting pace scenerio, all the horses I like got good draws as far as choices. Colonel John should have zero excuses now. Brown will probably get 1,2,19,20

AUTO TOSS, ADIOS BIG BROWN!!

Sad that Gayego and Recapture the Glory received the last draws.
I would have tossed those 2 regardless of post position.

It's the order they decide what post they want. First come first serve.

I was thinking the same thing. That's the way they've done it in the past. I don't think the post position selection order has been determined yet.. I think that's the "pill pull" order that will determine post position selection order... is this confusing or what? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

If Recapturetheglory Fails it want be the post, just not fast enough to clear and hold off the charge. Extreme outside would actualy help his chances.

So from the draw Eight Bells seems to have no excuse not to run in the Derby at this point if they were ever serious

I'm really glad Gayego got 20.
He was one of those I was going to toss anyway, but he would have scared me a little.
Now I can toss him without worry.

Okay, watching the draw program live on the Louisville TV stations ... can't help but notice that the post postion board has "delivered by UPS" on it .... (Big Brown tie in) In loading, 10 and 20 last horses in.

PS Delta Queen far outdistancing the Belle in the Great Steamboat Race ...
update - the Delta Queen CHEATED and turned around early, before 6-mile-island - Inquiry sign up - Belle is now in front on technicality!

(numbers blowing off the posting board when TOE chose)

1 - Cool Coal Man
2 - Tale of Ekati
3- Anak Nakal
4 - Court Vision
5 - Eight Belles - most winners (along with post 1 and 12) from this post
6 - Z Fortune 15-1
7 - Big Truck 50-1
8 - Visionaire
9 - Pyro (no winner since Riva Ridge 1972 this post)
10 - Colonel John
11 - Z Humor 30-1
12 - Smooth Air 20-1 (last postwin Cannonero 1971)
13 - Bob Black Jack 20-1
14 - Monba 15-1 (2 winners, Carry Back '51, and didn't catch the other - 1960?)
15- Adriano 30-1
16 - Denis of Cork 20-1
17 - Cowboy Cal 20-1
18 - Recapturetheglory 20-1
19 - Gayego 15-1
20 - Big Brown 3-1 (bought after owner's trucking company signed 5-year contract renew with UPS)
