OK, give me three horses to win the kentucky derby on Saturday.?

Question

I like circular quay and Curlin but I'm worried about positions, any tips would be welcome.

Answer 1

My picks are:

Circular Quay-no concern about the #16 post with his closing style, but the 2 months away does worry me a bit.

Street Sense-maybe the best horse in the race, don't care for the value/odds.

Great Hunter-big fan of trainer O'Neill, post #20 a negative for me.

Good Luck tomorrow.

Answer 2

Scat Daddy, Street Sense . My longshot pick is Zanjero.

Answer 3

CQ looks like he could be tough if the track is decent.  If it is sloppy then stick with some of the horses up front such as Hard Spun or Street Sense.  

Street Sense probably looks the best but if you take the odds into account it is tough to play him just to win.  He would have more value in an exacta or if you are feeling lucky a trifecta.  

4 horses that I am personally tossing are Stormello, Any Given Sat., Bwana Bull, and Storm in May.  I don't like any of them to hit the board.  Of course any opinion at this point is exactly that...an opinion.

Good luck to all.

Answer 4

Personally, I'd say Curlin will be way overbet...favorites don't do all that well in the Derby, historically speaking. Circular Quay is an excellent choice.  Hard Spun might give you the most value for your money, because he is a front-runner and the track is expected to come up muddy.

Answer 5

Curlin! He is my favorite

-Scat Daddy

-Hard Spun

But I really like Curlin and I believe he can win it all!
