Talking derby.

[meaiken]

My top 3 (horses on top in the exotics)
1. Goldecent: SA Derby winner
2. Normandy Invasion: Wood Runner up
3. Orb: Flarida Derby winner

[atolunch]

Good luck!

I'm liking Orb more and more as we get closer.

Should be interesting with the new points system this year, I think it could lead to a big payoff as most trainers had to alter their normal prep plans.

Always love Derby weekend!!

[meaiken]

This is the year. This is the year I hit it. The more stakes races Joel Rasario wins the more I like orb.

I loved super saver all week and bet big on looking at lucky not this year

[bigdog237]

sounds good,i can use some good insight on the derby

[***THA FIX***]

I hate to say gentleman, but I'm lovin me some ORB too

[meaiken]

i'm starting not to like goldcent. I cant see the winner of the derby be a winner of the santa anita derby 2 years in a row

[bigdog237]

is there going to be 20 horses entered again

[atolunch]

Yes, there will be 20 horses in the race. The 20 are set and there are 5 alternatives waiting should any scratch.

[meaiken]

There will probably be 20 with 2 AE's
Creative Cause (20) will probably not go. The winner of the Derby Trial saturday would take over the 20th spot.
Which Leaves Code West(21) and Golden Soul(23) on the outside looking in.
Tiz a Minister (22) will go in the Snow Cheif at Hollywood
