I wouldn't have taken SC or LAL so the post position is a bonus if you are standing against these 2. They are not the dominant favorites as were Big Brown or Smarty Jones IMO. There is great value in this race, if some horses can adjust their styles to the expected hot pace. Last year I don't think anyone of us would have expected Mine The Bird to come from dead last to win it by 6, if a horse can adjust and relax off the leaders they might be the one's, I'm not crazy about Ice Box either, just not comfortable he can repeat his Florida Derby at much lower odds.

I have watched exactly zero prep races this year, so admittedly I have no clue, nor opinion on this years Derby. That being said, Talamo has never met a front end he didn't like, so it will be interesting to see what he does from the far outside.
Personally, I will be rooting for Ice Box. I like Zito and obviously would love to see Lezcano get a Derby win.

I think Make Music for Me is a very interesting horse. I am not usre how well he has been managed but he has run with Lucky and Noble's Promise and been right there everytime. He has the right running style for the race. He is 50-1 morning line and since he wasn't supposed to make this field he hasn't generated any buzz. I think he is a very live longshot.

If the Derby were run on turf, Make Music for Me would still probably be like 10th choice in this field.

Somebody has to win the frigging race. I can't bust the chops of someone taking a price, except for the fact that all the true longshots go off at underlaid odds. In this race there is always some horse that should be 150-1 that goes off at 60-1 instead. Derby betting is unique unto its own, with names and numbers get bet by once-a-year betters.

I dug a little deeper into Make Music for Me, and I'm sorry, but I don't understand. And it's weird because the poster who is mentioning this horse is one of the more astute handicappers we have around here. The horse has worked precisely once since Blue Grass day, has won precisely one race in his entire career - a listed turf stakes, and has never even sniffed beating a good horse in his life. If we're just taking stabs to take stabs because the field is more than lackluster, I understand that, but I'd love to hear someone explain how Make Music for Me warrants any consideration for Saturday. Mike Welsh on his 4/25 workout:
Make Music For Me (five furlongs in 1:02.40): There was not much to like about this move for the horse who now is first on the earnings bubble. He completed his final quarter in a lackluster 25.73 and like Dublin didn't gallop out very well, pulling up six furlongs in 1:17.79.
