Kentucky Derby

Tomorrow is derby day and realistically I know very few of you care or follow racing, but for those of you who do care and plan on betting; who do you like?
If the race goes according to quality and past performances, I cannot see any winner other than Fierceness. I am fading Sierra Leone.
Churchill Downs is a weird track in that some horses just don't like the surface. Point Given was a strong favorite, didn't like the track and didn't win. He crushed it in the Preakness, Belmont and Travers. Should have been a triple crown winner, but for the track. In addition a 20 horse field makes it very hard for closers and horses on the inside have a shitty time of it, which is why I am fading Sierra Leone, who is in the 2 gate. Even the amazing Curlin couldn't win from the 2 gate.
If Churchill is Churchill who wins? My longshot pick started at 10-1 and I just bet him and locked in 12-1: Just a Touch. A Justify Colt with the highest average Beyer in the field. He comes from just off the pace, starts from the 8 hole and is a fine across the boeard bet.

This morning I saw a news report from Churchill Downs. It had been raining and track was pretty sloppy. Looks like it might be a messy race.
General admission is now $275. and a Mint Julep is $22.
win bet on stronghold-this horse may actually run faster outside of california. only trainer that can make his horses run like that was baffert.
exacta box with catching freedom. let's see what happens.
I’m picking Magnificent Ride for my horse in the derby.
with some of the far out results that have happened all day one might as well disregard using the racing form and just find another method of choosing picks.
good luck to all.
But Fierceness would be a good horse and dick nickname
Yep, doesn’t even have the guts to change me back here and say how lousy his statements/predictions were. It’s because he’s a gutless punk!
Lemme share some rick insights - some ricksights, if you will - into the Fredo mind. Have you ever noticed how his grammar and spelling get even more atrocious when he’s mad?
I mean really…read some of his posts and they almost seem like they’re a space alien language from a bad sci fi show. Why is that? Simple, he can’t spell because he’s typin’ with one hand and rage jackin’ with the other hand.
Now you know. ROAR!!!
Here’s your sign, hillbilly!! Project much?
