Default Your ONE Derby Horse
OK, the posts are drawn, the field is set. Who is your ONE PICK and why.

NO exacta's, NO trifecta's, NO Pick 3's or 4's. Just one horse to bet to win.

Mine is HARD SPUN. Great value, good post, should sit a good trip with his speed, bred to run all day. The OP race really wasn't bad from a figure point of view. Hey Stewart Elliot did it, why can't Pino?

Nobiz Like Shobiz....fits all the angles, has the PF and drew well. He's never run a bad race, I think he wins this although Street Sense would not surprise me! Go with the value and play Nobiz.

After careful consideration...Street Sense
post makes sense...form makes sense...and with Curlin on the inside & AGS on the out...winning makes sense!

Street Sense really fits being a duel qualifier and has run 12 second splits for a distance of ground and is dead game coming home.

I'm on the Hard Spun bandwagon, as well. I like his post position and I agree with LJ the he just has a high cruising speed. I think HS's work reflected that plus his like for the Churchill surface.

hard spun
been watching this guy since january. he's fast, has the right pedigree to go the distance--danzig has his preakness and belmont winners, now with one of his last chances, he gets his 'triple crown'.

hard spun. stakes winner #195 for the claiborne legend.

Hard Spun = Swale


That's how this race will be run. Up close, then just pull away.

Hate to agree with everyone else but I think Hard Spun is the choice. . .
