140th Kentucky Derby Saturday May 3rd Who's Your Pick ?

Ladies and Gents, first Saturday in May time, I'll be heading to Lone Star park to place a few wagers, this year seems like a real challenge. Anyhow who do you like to win the Derby ? Should be a nice day, hopefully lots of eye candy with the ladies out at Lone Star.

I've got to get up to speed on the contenders. Any interesting stories about any of the horses this year? Any of them with Triple Crown potential?

Not than I can tell, it seems like not many good horses in the field. California Chrome, looks good, but I don't know if he has really been tested yet. I would like to see a horse win the triple crown, but in today's environment I think it's a longshot.

Cali Chrome is a really nice horse but he is the favorite. Take Danza for a better price

Danza ran a race in Arkansas where he got a perfect rail trip and took advantage of it to run the race of his life at 41-1. I do not see that happening again. Wicked Strong will also be a part of my exotic wagers, as well as Hoppertunity.

always love to hear from triple crown winner seattle slew:

Good Thread!

Derby Day is a great day for eye candy 'bout any track. You get the simulcast & all.

Dating myself a tad here but I was a youngster at the time - saw Secretariat win the derby way back when and the stands were full of Celebes and hot looking babes - freakishly huge horse!

California Chrome looks like a deserving favorite. Can't say that I'm sold on any of the other horses in the field. If somebody put a gun to my head and make me take a stab on a longshot, I guess it might take Vicar's In Trouble or Danza. Not terribly impressed by either.

Well here's my Exacta picks $1.00 box ( 3,4,5,12,14,18) $30.00 bet

I don't like betting the favorite, but hopefully can get a nice price in 2nd.
$5.00 Exacta 5/ 3,4,12,14,18 $25.00 bet

My hunch play $5.00 Exacta 12/ 3,4,5,14,18 And $10.00 win and $25.00 place.

Good luck to everyone !!!
