Derby 137

HORSES, shit..... I'm confused. I've been on Macho all along so I'm sticking there. However, do I see Rajiv Maragh as a Derby winner and a Derby newbie trainer?????

You have to admit Dialed In is a legit favorite but chalk tastes bad.....

A couple of years ago there was a horse at Oaklawn with what I thought was a dumb name, Smarty Jones. Well I got over it in time for the Derby and I feel the same way about Pants on Fire. Best bred horse in the whole bunch (which I told my brother last Saturday morning and then before the sun went down Steve Haskins blogged the same opinion).  Trouble is every woman will bet Rosie.

 The best looking prep to me was the Arkansan Derby and ArchX3 looks like the real deal.

Nehro will be the wise guy horse but many are saying he may be 4th betting choice and why not. I mean if you were teaching someone to read a racing form this is exactly what you would say to look for. Coming like a freight train in two major preps, hell he may be second choice by post time.

 I think the real wise guy horse should be Shackleford. Hell, if you like Dialed In you have to like him as well at 15 or 20 to one don't you?

Did anyone else notice that the The Cliff’s Edge Derby Trial was really a Preakness prep?
