Tough to know.
His dam has already produced a 10f, G1 winner which is a good sign and - more importantly - he has looked pretty good at 9f on more than one occasion.
I could be wrong and the pace may end up being too quick early and he may fold up in the final furlong, but I think he remains my #1 pick.

Thanks guys!

The Baffert/Baffert double is fine this year

[dylbert]

Plum Pretty, Zazu, Summer Soiree, Kathmanblu, Daisy Devine

over

Mucho Macho Man, Soldat, Santiva, Archarcharch, Nehro

[bigjag0716]

I kinda like that, although I might take out Santiva and add Soldat or Midnight interlude

[bigjag0716]

Oops, you have Soldat, my bad. I think I would throw in Dialed In.

Thanks Steve and Mclem, now I only have to avoid the Whammy. It's been a personal favorite bet for me because the success I've had the last few years. The Original plan was to single R Heat Lightning and go deep in the Derby. As we all know, horseplayers have to make adjustments on the fly. Here we go.

Bigjag, I posted this on your post despite your Giants beating up on my Mets this week.

Why was it always cold at Candlestick Park? Because they had Giant Fans.

The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Fransico before I moved to Chicago.

Hey Bogey, you're the man. Honestly, I was kind of leaning that same way myself, with you're picks, so I think I will follow it, or adjust one horse or so. Are you set on that double? I think the only derby pick I am debating on changing from what you posted is taking a chance and taking out either nehro or dialed in for midnight interlude. Just taking a chance, derby style.


Hey now, we only took 2 out of 3. Can you guys deal us Reyes? The Giants will gladly deal a pitching prospect or too. Hmmm...thanks for the stick comment, those nights, even though I was only a little kid, were a killer, but very fond memories. That ocean wind from out in candlestick point was no joke.


Good luck my friend.

Hey Gus, you built the track record we're just praising it my friend, no whammy intended. I love the approach this year as well. Best of Luck as always.
