Question

What are your Kentucky Derby picks?

Answer 1

There was a great article in DRF by Beyer about this earlier this morning, let me see if I can find it...

I agree with him that Colonel John has not done anything impressive.

Answer 2

Pyro or Colonel John for the win... talented, experienced, consistent (over their preferred surfaces) closers who had excellent final workouts at Churchill this week.  Fill in the exotics with Eight Belles, Big Brown, Z Fortune, and Adriano.

Answer 3

BIG BROWN

Answer 4

Pyro

Court Vision (longshot bet)

Answer 5

Tri of Colonel John, Big Brown and Eight Belles.

But I think Cool Coal Man could be in there too. .

Answer 6

Eight Belles to win it all by a nose in a very close race with Colonel John finishing second and Big Brown finishing third.

Answer 7

I like the followong three horses... Big Brown,Col John, and Bob Black Jack.. Ill prolly go with a tri box with those three. I may and maybe add Pyro for the Super... or possibly the filly Eight Belles...

Answer 8

That last comment could be correct, those are all really top notch contenders... it's going to depend on the track conditions, because the Oaks today was really sloppy.

Check out how these cappers did in last year's derby:
