    I never really understood the fascination of watching midgets making animals run fast....

    that's insensitive. They are little people not midgets. And majestic thoroughbred stallions, not animals. :)

    I got "a guy" for horse betting. He usually checks in down at the club on derby week and shares his knowledge. I'm waiting to hear his insights before I make any of my own

    It's only a matter of time before jetophile comes screaming into this thread like Christopher Walken on PCP and meth.

    Okay heres what I got,,,Im worried that Promises fulfilled cannot go the distance,,,the Jockey is a good one but I think I am jumping off.
    Also I am off of Good Magic as I watched Promises Fulfilled beat this horse so if Im off Promises Im off Good Magic
    so here goes----I will jump on Justify as the Horse just looks good-----I like Vino Rosso as the horse looks to be able to do the distance and is a finisher with a good jockey on board and My Boy Jack is a nice story and also a finisher so Im on board
    so in no particular order ,as of wednesday subject to change between now and Saturday due to weather and what not
    My Boy Jack
    Justify
    Vino Rosso
    so what do you guys have and or like ?
    PS edit here---I might throw out the favorite Justify and put in Bolt D Oro,,,,I'm on the fence

    My horse guy said that the favorite Justify #7 isn't experienced enough to win.

    He doesn't like the pace setters like Promises Fulfilled, Audible or (i think) Vino Rosso.

    He said it will be a race for the closers and everyone should check out closers such as: Mendelsohn (14), Bolt D'oro (11) and My Boy Jack (10). Although in my investigative opinion, he had too much of a sympathetic case for My Boy Jack that may be clouding his judgment.

    I'm going to box a trifecta with 11,14,10, and 7 or 6 (not sure just yet)

    Browning only knock on My Boy Jack is he had to race 3 weeks ago ( he won ) to get enough points to be in the derby , he is a good horse. I am hoping for a fast pace and expect Promises Fulfilled to come flying out of the gate ( hopefully ) along with a few others so they get spent,,time will tell.

    Browning I don't think its a BIG concern,,,,,I like this horse a lot and expect him to be coming on strong from the back as they head for home, thats just my opinion.
