Anyone with some early thoughts?

Big Brown having the outside post brings all kinds of new challenges.....before that draw, he would have been bet down really low.....He had a great workout today. (the fastest at 5 furlongs) I believe.

Guys, If you want some pretty good articles on some of the horses, jockeys and owners you might want to check out the courier-journal.com...The Louisville paper.

You've got to put Pyro in the mix now that he's back on regular track surface.
Also like Monba.

I just put 20 pieces of paper with 1-20 on each and drew out 5 numbers to play a $1 exacta box. Here is what I got...


#2 Tale Of Ekati
#5 Eight Belles
#6 Z Fortune
#10 Colonel John
#20 Big Brown

Could be a winner just picking numbers out of a hat, lol...

my friend who does REALLY well on the horses like Cool Coal Man (sp?) to win this. Last I saw he was 20-1! What do you guys think? I am pretty sure he is on the rail in #1 position.

I'm all over some Pyro

1 tri box I will definitely be playing is Court Vision, Pyro and Colonel John.

Are we looking at a wet track tommorow?, sounds like some strong winds too

Does anybody know if Prado got his choice between Tale of Etaki and Adriano?

would be cool to get some weather updates and track conditions a few hours before they start.

As of 8:30 this morning, the main track was listed as sloppy... turf course is yeilding
