136th Kentucky Derby (PP's)

[GenuineRisk]

If Justin's explanation is the real reason, then I think the networks should still show the Woodford. Anyone who watches a grass race and thinks it's the Kentucky Derby doesn't deserve to watch the Derby anyway.

I'm thinkin that not too many completely clueless fans actually watch unless they are watching with somone who can at least advise them which race is actually the Derby.

Well the "network" in question does NOT show any of the undercard races.

I guess "that" is the problem then......and they don't care!

HRTV will only show races 1,2,12,13 on Saturday. The rest can be seen on ESPN and NBC.

Wow......the 2 faves have their work cut out for them.

[philcski]

Doesn't need to be said enough times that it's a brutal draw for Lookin at Lucky.

[asudevil]

CA phucked!

[Nascar1966]

Wow only two horses at single digit odds.

[tjfla]

Only help for LAL is Ice Box is in 2 which means he will have a little room cause Ice Box will be dropping back right off the top


Sidney's Candy is the one in trouble,how the hell is he gonna get over from other there

I am crying cause how do I play Dean's Kitten?? I was gonna play #8 but HOW can I

[ateamstupid]

I don't know that Sidney's Candy's draw is as problematic as Lookin at Lucky's. The 20-hole may force him to let Line of David and Conveyance go and sit off third/fourth, which was his only chance to win anyway.

They both bad!! Just saying Sidney's Candy will have trouble getting over and LAL will at least have a little space with Ice Box next to him until the ALL fall on him

[cakes44]

Stupid question:

Are these the actual post positions or just the draw? I thought they had(used to have?) some stupid TV special for the draw at night.

Agreed. Just a matter of how much ground he can save going into the first turn. I think it's an ok draw, especially for a horse that has never taken dirt before, might actually help him settle without getting splattered.
