I have to say I have absolutely no idea, all I know is that I am tossing both War Pass and Big Brown on Derby Day, regardless of how they work, their PP, anything, TOSSAROO

Pyro will be in the money, but not win...totallly agreeing with Scav, tossing both War Pass and especially Big Brown. Using Visionaire, Atoned, Court Vision & Colonel John in the gimmicks.

As for who wins.......................................



no prediction until 10 days out.....expect "box car" mutuals this year!




(just gotta get my cooler back)

I'll get back to you when it is 30 minutes, rather than 30 days, until post time.

It's not like I'm concrete on these. I just happened to be on Kentuckyderby.com and noticed their little clock is down to 30 days.

I'm tending to agree War Pass and Big Brown are tosses.

Majestic Warrior.

His last two starts were just preps and Mott will have him primed for the big dance.

The poopster is all done with the horsies. I guess your just going to have
to see who "T" likes.

By the way Hoffy, who's this E-Street guy posting over here? I hope Oracle doesn't find out. He will be banned from talking about Joba and those stinking mosquitos.

We've only had Coors here in the northeast less than 20 years.

I know its Tom and I, but after that I've got to stop down today to see who the rest are and fill out a form. Hopefully we can have a repeat performance of 2005 when we lost to Herkimer in the Semi-Finals.
