Bob Black Jack...
OK, so I was watching his last race live and my gut said "THERE IS YOUR DERBY HORSE". The horse has got a lot of fight in him. So he really is my gut pick of the race.
Other odd things? 1. Father in law's name was Bob. (For those who may not know, he passed away in December. Very hard on my hubby). 2. Hubby's fave gambling game? Black Jack. He is very good at it too. 3. Hubby and Brother in law's baseball numbers were ALWAYS #13. Their father coached them up to college. OK, just Buffy's silly reasons for picking this horse. Maybe I just like Cali based horses who can run sprints but also seem to be able to get a distance...

I am not sure he will get the distance. His breeding says sprint but he has surprised me thus far because he sticks around. However Coast Guard stuck around also in the SA derby BUT Coast Gaurd ran back at hollywood in an allowance and flopped as the favorite.

I liked that he went WIDE in the SA Derby and was up front on the pace and still dug down and fought at the end. I think the bity blinkers will help too.

I think he has the least chance of winning.Tell me something.Did you actually look at his 2 route races,and think he has a shot to win a 10f race against the best 3 year olds in the country? Since they have such a hard-on to 2 turn with a gifted sprinter,then they should have tried to win the Calbred stakes last weekend.Sorry,but I despise people that force their animals to do stuff they aren't equipped to do. Both the routes he was in were slow- paced.I don't think that will happen tomorrow.Prepare to see him backing up.This is how horses get hurt(putting them in idiotic spots.)They don't deserve a good horse like this.I don't believe some of these people give a damn about their horse's well being.They just want "an experience."10f is not 9f.Tomorrow they get their due punishment for being stupid.

The second choice has never run on dirt. The third choice just stunk it up really bad in his last prep. And the others? If you took out the names and threw them in a hat...they are all about the same horse. He has the highest lifetime single race fig. That alone should merit consideration. He finished half a length behind the probable second choice in his last race and had a tougher trip. Im not saying he is going to win but I disagree that it was stupid for them to take a shot.

You are entitled to your opinion, but so am I and I think you are wrong about BBJ. I guess we will find out today... I did also put some $$ on Pyro and Cool Coal Man today. And before I saw the SA Derby, I wouldn't have put $$ on BBJ. But like I said when my gut tells me "DERBY HORSE", I have to atleast put a little money on him. I may be wrong about him, but then again so may you. Atleast I am putting my thoughts out there. I may be eating some crow at my Derby party today, but I am hoping not.
