My Kentucky Derby bet.

As usual, I will treat the Kentucky Derby the same way I treat any two-turn race on an oval-shaped track.

First, I will eliminate every horse drawn higher than post position 10.

Then I will decide whether the horses drawn 1-9 are good enough.

If they are not, I won’t bet.

If it rains, I won’t bet.

For betting purposes, it is just another race, just like the 2000 guineas to be run earlier that day.

for what it's worth I attended a racehorse seminar hosted by jack knowlton a few years ago. he said if you purchase a horse for investment, a horse selling for $150,000.00 or more, you can be almost guaranteed the horse will be free of any physical defects. however the heart(willingness to run) of a horse is never guaranteed. woody stevens once told me anytime an owner pays 8x the stud price or over for a horse, it's believed to be a special animal. lets start analyzing our derby starters.

I'm bummed that The Prince is injured and out of THE DERBY. He was not my pick, but I hate to see any good horse get hurt. The worst was when Scat Daddy was stepped on and stopped badly. He was never the same... - RAMMER
