Curlin By Six. Do I get an extra if the prediction is on point. Peace.
In a year in some of the strangestavenues being used to get to the Big One, I think this is my Derby horse. Green and then some, but I'm starting to think What The Heck?

Delightful Kiss from 25 back in Victory Gallop style after a 45 2/5 half burns up the speedballs.

Curlin for the win.

Thanks!

Being from Arkansas I thought i may have a 'Home Course' advantage. Although, I don't think even Francis Ouimet could beat this field of pros, I'll give it a try.


Curlin looks great, has a great trainer, however I think I'll try Officer Rocket. I can't exactly tell you why. It may be that it's supposed to rain Friday night and Officer Rocket has had good results on off tracks. It could be the way he closes. It could be that Curlin's works don't seem to be as good as his earlier ones. It could be I was impressed by Mr. Holthus at the Post Position draw on Wed. It may be that in 1982 I went to Oaklawn to bet a lot (for a 19 year old) on a horse called "El Baba" because he hadn't been beaten and looked like a huge pile of muscle. He was beaten by a shipper from the West Coast named "Hostage". So even though the Rebel winner has repeated in the AR Derby for the last couple of years, all I have to do is think of Hostage coming down the stretch beating El Baba by two lengths to remember that even the best horses get beat sooner or later.

Officer Rocket


PS: Was that rambling or did it make sense?

Good Luck All!!!

I'll go for an eagle:
Curlin over For You Reppo.

I'm using my 3 wood and going for a low stinger, like Tiger.

For You Reppo SCRATCHED

If no alternative given ......
If you used in an exacta, the other choice becomes your win pick. No second choice given, you get the forum consensus. Extraneous comments are not counted as picks so for example......
"For You Reppo is my only pick here but also watchout for Storm in May to land a share"
The poster would get the consensus, not Storm In May since SIM isn't posted as an alternative




My choice.....
