I would go with Street Sense to win it again....but mares don't usually win the Derby.

The last two years I have trusted my computer program and have gone with Congaree....but that didn't work.

So....I think this year I am going with Black Beauty or Shadowfax.

I guess the idea was to hear about who we liked, understanding there are post position's to be drawn, fillies to be double entered and probably a surprise scratch. But it's been all about throwing out ponies, with some subtle references of love buried in there..

Okay, why don't I leave the nice thread alone now?

Oh, Smooth Air.

Course if he draws post 20 I might have to go with Gayego.

(Oh stop laughing).

The more I think about it - the more I like Big Brown.

With a gun to my head I'd have to go with Big Brown, he's so much better than the rest of the horses in the field. Most likely winner relative to their odds I would have to go with Pyro. The Blue Grass was exactly what I was hoping for to make him a fair price.
