Im guessing that will give you about 15 horses to choose from.

Anyone worried about Archarcharch being in the 1st post? I heard that's not a good thing.

Here..for shits and giggles is what I sent to a few friends.....we've been doing this for years at Derby time


The following is officially sanctioned by YUM! BRANDS. Do yourself a favour…Tomorrow afternoon go and get yourself to a convenient TACO BELL/KFC and treat yourself to a stuffed beef burrito and a few pieces of chicken.

#1---Archarcharch…Hot prospect and sentimental choice (re: Jinks Fires the trainer) got as unlucky as is possible with the “dreaded” one hole. Only an expert jock can work out a trip with a horse that has AAA’s running style from post one. The word expert is not normally associated with Jon Kenton Court.

ML is 10-1…I need 20-1 to play this horse on top but he is a contender for all other spots on exotic tickets.

#2 Brilliant Speed----His wins came on Turf and Artificial surfaces---PASSADENA

#3 TWICE THE APPEAL----I am a huge B and B fan (Borel and Bonde)…..BUT this animal must make a huge jump to be in the top 4…Not on my tickets

#4 STAY THIRSTY…….Repeat after me….”Just because a guy is rich doesn’t mean he’s smart”.. Mr. Repole likes the Mets and horses and is very rich. He paid half a million for this horse. This horse is not very fast

#5 DECISIVE MOMENT…..They could crawl home and ………this animal would still find a way to not finish in the top 4

#6 COMMA to the TOP……I’ll give you 20/1 that whichever talking head is hosting the derby tells you the name means Apostrophe in Cajun. I need 80/1 to have this cheap speed win the Derby

#7PANTS ON FIRE…..I love this horse…..I love Rosie! I love the price….this horse is on all my tickets

#8 DIALED IN…I was sitting in the Race book in Vegas on Sun JAN 30 and this little Italian guy is running all over telling everyone, “Nicky’s got a derby horse”…..Here’s your favourite in the Kentucky Derby…..what the hell do you do with it? Are you a fan of Leparoux, because in order for this horse to win he must be ridden perfectly. Did you know that in France the horse players snicker when they see how much North Americans like little Julien? It’s called the Jerry Lewis syndrome.

#9 DERBY KITTEN…..Ken Ramsey bets with both fists on his horses and loves to lead his winners into the circle……Not today

#10….TWINSPIRED….don’t think this horse will like going 9 panels…….if pedigree counts this animal does not

#11 MASTER of HOUNDS…..scary invader because of the unknown factors…has never run on dirt……here’s where I make a stand. If this horse wins I lose!

#12 SANTIVA…….I didn’t know this band was still playing…I loved them in the 60’s…Carlos can sure play the guitar….His brother (who happens to be a racehorse) can run a little bit to and will be on my tickets

#13 MUCHO MACH MAN…..this horse owes me nothing…I scored with it big at FG in the Risen Star….I love this horse. I think this horse can win the Kentucky Derby

#14 SHACKLEFORD…..If this horse wins the derby only one of the following will be allowed in the winners circle at the same time due to space restriction…..the horse or Dale Romans the trainer……man is he huge!...so is the horse……I’m worried about the distance, but he’s very playble

#15 MIDNIGHT INTERLUDE…it never rains in California….this horse should go back there lot's of buzz about this horse but I don't see it

#16 ANIMAL KINGDOM…..The wise guy horse…you’d hate to not have this number on your ticket. You’d be smacking yourself in the head for a year going, “I knew it”….playable in all spots

#17 SOLDAT………looks like he's ready to fire a new top

#18 UNCLE MO……SCRATCHED....and they knew he wasn't going to run well before today......nice move by Repole and Pletcher....ABST..anyone but Stay Thirsty

#19 NEHRO…….I like a lot….the post hurts a lot….I hate NAKATANI…I hate NAKATANI…..underneath only

#20 WATCH ME GO….give me a break!
