Official Derby Top 5

[Danzig]

who the hell makes their picks this far out from any race? jc, you wonder why people give you a hard time, and then you give your supposed picks for a race three weeks out. you've got to be kidding. why the hurry?? shouldn't you wait to see what the horses do when they actually arrive at the track? how well they work? if they shipped well, eat well....who draws what post? the weather, the track, how the early races are run, and if there is any bias detectable?

"who the hell makes their picks this far out from any race?"

people who want internet bragging rights that they were there early.

i don't care how he trains. i don't care about his post. i don't care if eight belles runs.

Oh come on. That is like picking Wyoming to have the smallest population when the 2010 Census comes out and then bragging about it.

i'll be doing my 'bookend' contest again this year, so i look for you to have the roussel horse as the tailend of your entry!

i just wish i had a dollar for every horse jcs has chosen as his new #1. i could buy half a tank of gas at least.

i took a horse with a 102 beyer in it's last prep. he easily could be on pg's top 5 list. he'd be better qualified than court vision who hasn't run a step in 2008.

that's hardly wyoming.

And I'm posting my thoughts. Are we just supposed to read your opinions and smile and nod?

[sumitas]

At this point I don't see a legitimate favorite. I'll be looking at Tomcito, Bob Black Jack, Smooth Air. Horses with longer odds.

lol
no, and i really do listen and value what you guys say........i am just a little pissed, i had a horrible betting weekend, just missed cowboy cal, hit 2/3 in multiple pick 3's, did nothing with the pick 4's, needed a 2-5 shot for a double 50 times and missed that today. just a bad weekend overall.

Awesome. You took out the only horse of your picks that had a prayer of winning.

I don't understand. You like Court Vision because you think the pace is going to be wicked in the Derby, but then.. You like War Pass, too? Won't he be the one setting that clip?

save yourself some time and just use the "quick pick" button. You'd have a better chance

That might be good advice for all of us this year.

Jcs, Your going to get crap either way with the way you post. Your picking three weeks out for a race whose field is not known yet. You know not the weather, post positions, jockeys( a jockey could incur an injury in the next three weeks) weather or track condition. If you lose your a complete idiot for picking your horses three weeks out. If you win, your a idiot who finally got lucky. You don't seem to understand, your going to lose either way. Wait until they at least draw the derby and then make your picks. Even if your wrong, youll get alot less flack.
