Kentuck Derby

AM Jeff · 04-28-2004

I live only 10 minutes from Churchill Downs. I won't be at the Derby. But we're going to the Oaks Friday.

For as who I like? I have no idea until I get the Daily Raciing Form tomorrow and look up who is racing that Day.
For the Derby. I am leaning towards Smarty Jones or Imperialism.
For the Oaks, I am clueless. My GF is a Director with a BIG insurance company and has the Execs from Tyco coming in. So I'm sure we have some sweet seats.

Thing is, for the Derby, we have a 40% of showers. But thing is about the Derby. You want a Jockey thats experienced with the track. Plus you gotta keep him from being boxed in. With 20 horses running..that'll be a task.

No horse has won it wire to wire since Secretariat.
So, you want a horse that will lay off the pace. With good closing speed and keep from getting boxed in.

Thats why my longshot pick is Imperialism. (Probably who I'll go with)
