If I was calling their shots Dominguez rides RR as I think one of his abilities is getting a horse to settle, which is what RR is going to need to do if he has a prayer in the race. I would chose someone like Victor E. over Dominguez but if deciding between those two, that's who I use.

I like Ramon better from mid-pack or further off the pace.

I remember in 2001 having a few hundred dollars on the "over" in a prop bet that was 17.5 for the number of horses to start in that years Derby.
Even though that year was loaded with so many scary good looking horses about seven or so weeks out - I thought it was a total cinch enough bums would be sacraficed up to make it a full field of 20 .. and I basically thought I had a steal. The race ended up only going with 17 .... D. Wayne Lukas had two allowance horses that year that were both nominated to the Kentucky Derby and had a pulse. He didn't enter either one. That was just about the most maddening prop bet I've ever lost.

Maybe I need some mystery goggles or something, but I just don't see why Desert Party isn't considered one of the top choices this year.
I'm sticking with him.

2. No Frankie 3. Lost to Regal Ransom (which isn't a huge negative to me) 4. At least five American horses that look better 5. Beaten no one

1. Dubai- A legitimate question mark
2. No Frankie- A blessing in a dirt race 3. Lost to Regal Ransom (which isn't a huge negative to me)- A non-issue given the track 4. At least five American horses that look better- A debatable opinion 5. Beaten no one- A dangerous argument but who has I Want Revenge beaten? NT

I've bought into the Dubai hype more than once and never was in contention in the Derby that I can remember. It may have been different if Street Cry made it, but he didn't.

I like Desert Party too, even more so if Regal Ransom takes his place in the field.. I just hope he works a bit better than he did in the leadup to the UAE Derby when he seemed to be very quiet / not himself..
