Your one and only Derby horse (at this point)
 

Okay with a week and a half to go, let's play Derby pick.

Please though... only list one horse as in one....

In the thread a couple of weeks ago a few of you deserved swats for listing four horsies when I specifically said three, so...

Are we all clear on the number one or do we need a little refresher course? :p

For once I'll start...

Anthony's Cross.

(He'll get in).

Next?

for some reason I really like Midnight Interlude... I know the no starts at 2 is an issue, but...

Nehr..Toby's Corner.

Mucho Macho Man.....the perfect stlye for the set up..

Scat OUT

Mucho Macho Man

Lock

The number 6.

You realize I'll change my mind a couple (or more) times but right now...Archarcharch.

My first thought is Mo but I think he is just as likely to run last. My pick is Dialed in.

Uncle Mo

Archarcharch

Mucho Macho Man

Archarcharch. With a decent trip but it's also sentimental, Jinx Fires, son-in-law Jon Court and of course, Arkansas Derby winner. :$:

Was gonna say Archarcharch but he seems a bit underlayed right now, going with Soldat. No Factor might help a little.

To Honor and Serve only bc i wanted to make people read THAS one more time...



Most likely to hit the board imo is Dialed In

Ha! :D

Out on my limb. Shackleford.

Thanks Miss Cat for starting this thread.

I’ve been really dialed into picking just one horse. I’m so excited and I didn’t even have a midnight interlude with a mucho macho man or anything like that, but even so, my pants are on fire. Go figure. I keep drinking water but it seems I’m staying thirsty anyway.

Now I know a lot of the contenders are lacking brilliant speed this year, but it’s a decisive moment when you have to pick just one horse.

I’ve been trying to pick just one horse for weeks now. I went fox hunting the other day which I have not done in ages. I wanted to go badly because my Uncle Mo is the Master of Hounds at my local hunt and he really knows thoroughbreds. When I asked him about the Derby, he said, “It’s a real animal kingdom out there this year”. Then he told me, “I swear on Anthony’s cross that I should have never soldat two year old I had last year ‘cause he had twice the appeal that any of these horses have that are going into the Derby”.

The next thing you know, Uncle Mo yells, “watch me go”! And we’re off running through the fields again.

As we were cantering along, I had trouble with my horse Toby trying to get him to turn a corner. My uncle could see I was having trouble because Toby took off galloping toward a bridge. It was a low bridge and my uncle yelled to me, “arch”! I yelled back “what”? My Uncle then yelled “arch, arch, arch! Low bridge, watch out for the low arch”. Well luckily I got Toby to slow down and my uncle caught up with me.

I looked at my Uncle and said, “well, who do you like in the Derby?” My Uncle replied, “I kinda like Nehro, Santiva, and Comma to the Top”. I looked back at my Uncle and said, “you can only pick one horse”.

Pants on Fire will wire them.

clever! :$:

Santiva

I have Archarcharch with the majority of the entrants from pool 2 in exacta's so he is my Derby horse.

I laughed

Twinspired.

Monster on dirt......:rolleyes:

Midnight Interlude

Mucho Macho Man

Not being sarcastic, but why all the love for Mucho Macho Man?? I hope he's bet the way peoPle like him here..

3M from the 3/8 pole home by 3....

Master of Hounds up the rail with Calvin! :D

Nothing against the horse, but I was surprised to see so much love too.

He might be the only one coming in with back to back 7 furlong works though.

Saddlecloth #24 from Future Wager Pool #1!

Uncle Mo

Decisive Moment

Kerwin Clark - his time has finally come

Hope Arch can get a decent trip...ya right..hoping and praying he can

Mucho Macho Man... you gotta appreciate Kathy Ritvo's old school preparation. With four shoes, I don't think he will let anyone get by him in the stretch.

Midnight Interlude for me as well.
