Question

Who is going to win the 2008 kentucky derby? Also, any picks for a superfecta? or tri? or whatever it is?? ha

Answer 1

I am waiting until I know the full field of 20 and their post positions.I wish you luck if you are wagering.

Answer 2

This depends a lot on post positions.  Personally I would not recommend Jesse's course of action, but it could happen.

Some horses with a good shot at the derby include Z Fortune, Colonel John, Pyro, Big Brown (not for the win), Tale of Ekati, and Eight Belles.  I recently saw a good case made for Smooth Air, but that person's "system" also put Hey Byrn as one of the top horses for the Derby and Hey Byrn is most emphatically NOT a real Kentucky Derby contender.  I've been talking myself into Adriano lately and he actually has a pretty decent shot except that we're unsure about how he can run on the dirt.  Visionaire might be able to pull off the win too but it'll be tough.

At the moment without knowing post positions, for the trifecta, I'd put

Colonel John, Eight Belles, Adriano, Pyro

over

Colonel John, Eight Belles, Adriano, Pyro, Z Fortune, Big Brown, Visionaire, Tale of Ekati

and over

Colonel John, Eight Belles, Adriano, Pyro, Z Fortune, Big Brown, Visionaire, Tale of Ekati

but that ticket will get (and really needs) some serious editing once we know the post positions.

Answer 3

Wheel "BIG BROWN" on top for everything.

"Tale of Ekati" / " Pryo ' for 2nd ; and ALL for third.

Answer 4

I have a soft spot for Pyro who wheels from last to first at the top of the stretch to win his races.

Answer 5

PYRO will win

TRI-pyro, big brown, smooth air

Answer 6

I love the Derby, and I will be there on May 3rd. This year I am going with long shots all the way, except for one of the faves, Colonel John. Long ones will be Visionnaire, Smooth Air, Victory Gallop's baby Anak Nakul (or however you spell it), and also Tale of Ekati. I am tossing out Big Brown who has patched up hooves and not much experience (I hope his hooves don't crack on May 3rd!). Also I am tossing out Pyro who is sitting on a Blue Grass dud performance that too many will be willing to overlook. For an exacta box I'll go with Visionnaire and Colonel John and Smooth Air. For a fun-filled Tri I will try Colonel John with All with Visionnaire, and Visionnaire with All with Colonel John. If that one hits I'll be dancing all the way to the hotel! And don't remind me that I'm betting against myself. I know it. And I do it anyway!
