Time to go on the record with your Derby pick. I'll start, COURT VISION,(nice dosage, good 2yo form, likes Churchill, and nice recent work).

I was convinced it was Smooth Air until he became sick. Everything points to Colonel John, except for my heart.

Tale of Ekati to win this thing ...

My friend from Europe, threenaps, says Cowboy Cal is the long shot. Best or racing luck to everyone.

Big Brown/Colonel John are on all spots in my exotics.
My sleepers are Court Vision and Tale Of Ekati.
Adriano "was" my sleeper until I saw his work yesterday. Not good.

Colonel John.
Think he could win AND I like him.
I'd also be happy if Z Fortune, Biog Truck, or Adriano won.

Hi

I haven't settled on a choice yet, but Eight Belles is very intriguing. She definitely has the pedigree to get 10 furlongs, and is very sharp right now.

I'm with you on that one.. male or female.

don't' not believe the hype.. she's just as good as most of these colts running. if not better than most. and unlike most, she will get the distance without a problem.
