I like Adriano's breeding, by AP Indy who is by my favorite racehorse ever, Seattle Slew. Also Big Brown's bloodlines are pretty cool, he appears to have some grass champions in there, Nureyv (i can't spell today), not real common bloodlines these days and I like that tracing back to Round Table, that's good thing. I think these two horses have the best bloodlines in the race. Should be a pretty cool race. The Oaks was awesome yesterday.

Oops! Make that an agreement with johnnyz, sans Adriano.

8 Belles has an excellent pedigree but she should be running in the Oaks

On pedigree alone, Big Brown,wish he had more races in. He could be the next triple crown horse. Cool Coal Man, Adrian,and Court Vision...

I'll buy a racing form, keep the cover, ditch the rest and wait for Haskin's analysis on Friday night. With a field of 20, I'll bet the money but let Steve do the rest.

The race will be won by either Big Brown, Colonel John, Pyro or Court Vision. I will use them on top in all exotic wagers. Btw, I picked Street Sense to win last year.

Scot's reply: Good job on Street Sense. I picked him too -- my first Derby winner since Swale, sadly enough. Come to think of it, he was the first since Swale who just gave me a gut feeling. This year I have my favorites, but no gut feeling.
