Definite Derby Throw Outs

[TheSpyder]

Not sure this will be any easier but since picking the standout winner in near impossible, who will you definately throw out of your picks and why?

Let the fun begin.

Spyder

[Travis Stone]

Definite tosses:
Recapturetheglory
Anak Nakal
Indian Sun
Z Humor

Likely tosses:
Court Vision
Tale of Ekati
Halo Najib
Bob Black Jack

[Scav]

Big Brown
Recapturetheglory
Z Humor
Monba
Cool Coal Man
Cowboy Cal
Big Truck
Halo Najib IF he gets in

[TitanSooner]

only thing I usually throw out in the derby is my money.

If Churchill would allow me to place an Exacta on the 19th and 20th finishers, I would box Z Humor with Recapturetheglory.

Other than that, I think I'll have to wait for the draw and final field before really being confident in tossing anyone else.

you don't like Proud Spell at all if she runs in the Derby, I know she is only 15%, but if she did run, I would definetely be using her.

What post would help you to decide to bet a horse like Anak Nakal?

I know Anak's races have been pretty questionable this year, but if this has been the main goal, he wouldn't have had to get any earnings to get here. I really think you might see a different horse on Derby Day with him, plus he will get the pace he needs, and there aren't many that are bred like he is to go this distance.

I know, I know, he hasn't done anything, but Zito would not be going if he didn't have confidence, and I just think he has a opportunity to hit the top 4

This is like being in a room with 2 pretty chicks and 15 fat ones and eliminating each of the fat ones, one by one, rather than just focusing on the 2 babes.

Well, I'm never one to run someone out of town when they're backing a longshot. Your reasoning is alright. And I've said it a hundred times... I suppose this year's Derby is so crazy it's really "anything goes."

I'm kind of in the same boat here. I'm no fan of Anak Nakal, but I can't say without question that I might not use him on a couple of tickets at the very bottom of a tri or super.

I doubt she can win, I agree with that, but I think she would have a better chance then most of hitting the board.....

and for throw outs i usually start by throwing out all california horses and poly specialists then go from there. gotta start somewhere

[brianwspencer]

Will Hank Goldberg be giving his pick out far enough in advance that I can make it an autotoss?

I thought they announced this year that they would, and there were people on here bitching about it.....

Both, from my understanding...

that is if tracknet/horsemen group actually come to an agreement, and there is offtrack betting

I need clarification, because for my broke ass, this will be the difference between whether I play the tri or the super.
