Good to see he is in the race. Will be a decent price and will have my money for the top spot. He is coming into the race fresh and will love the distance. He is my pick for the derby.

Cowboy Cal ran well, maybe too well in the Blue Grass. To run a race better or equal than that in less than three weeks in a race called the Kentucky derby is asking a lot in my opinion.

In my opinion I would tend to side with horses that have shown ability on the dirt for a dirt race. But that's just me.

it's bad enough breeders are snapping up the best before they get very far in their careers. but if we're going to start awarding the derby based on pedigree, i'm going to have to look elsewhere for sporting entertainment.

Wait until JCS finds out that Cowboy Cal's dam is in foal to Giant's Causeway again, he might make that horse his early 2012 Derby pick and start structuring Pick 4 tickets now.
