If you watched the Rebel, you know that Caleb's Posse is a great horse in his own right. The Factor outclassed him in the Rebel.

I love The Factor and I can see no reason why he wont run off the screen, I don't think the distance will bother him.

Brethren could show up and snatch the race, but I doubt it. Pletcher at Oaklawn? Not saying it couldn't happen.

Upset winner, Caleb's Posse, never count Von Hemmel out!

Sway Away completes a three stakes win in three days trifecta for the Jeff Bonde barn. ArchArchArch is two lengths back in second and Brethren is third. The Factor quits at the eighth pole and runs 7th

The Factor will win this easily but it's highly doubtful he'll win the Derby. He's probably unbeatable at this distance but the only way he will win the Derby is if this years crop ends up weak.

In the Paddock:

Elite Alex to Sway Away:

"So Bro who should we look out for?"

Sway Away: "The Factor" could be a "Factor".

Elite Alex: "Okay then you on one side and me on the other!"

Sway Away: "The way Dad taught us!"

Elite Alex: See you at the finish line. Keep your head low, you have great teeth. Kentucky here we come!"

I go with my heart which is why I never bet. It's Brethren for me. I know he has it deep down inside to take it all. Is it his day? We shall see. Safe trips home to all.

With this strong of a field, I wish two or three of them had decided to run in the Wood. The Factor will be tough. Baffert does not hide the fact that he is the real deal. The horses that try to hang with him will fade, leaving room for the closers who save ground.

Dance City is a live longshot: a fresh face who is well-bred and connected with strong form entering this, he will be in perfect position. Elite Alex is eligible to improve off his latest (2nd stake at 9f). The Factor is a tad vulnerable as the favorite facing his toughest test yet first-time going 9f.

Indiana Johnny — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 23:39:11 GMT

At a short price I will be betting against the Factor, and if the Ark. Derby's outcome is anything like the other recent preps, and the distance issue with Factor. I'll side with others,but I won't tie much money into the race.

I'm going to bet $10 win on Sway Away, and hope he improves off the San Vincente(?), where he was flying at the end and just short to the Factor. In the Rebel, I kinda think slamming his head against the gate and knocking a tooth out cost him. I'd hate to think I had to run in a marathon race after getting a tooth knocked out, I'd want to sit down and cry!

I'll bet a $1 Ex box with sway away, the entry 1/1a, #2 Nehro, and # 10 JP's Gusto. If I loose, I'll probably still sit down and cry,but, at least I'll have all my teeth!....On the flip side, I'm not an Uncle Mo basher, or downing anybody for picking him in the Ky Derby, I just don't think he has ran back to his 2yr. old form, and a lot of horses don't carry that over, and to compound it, there may be fitness issues now, and prob. not great value.

I'm going to watch Soldat and MMM in the coming weeks in their w/o's, and find a few more to put with them to fill out my ex.'s and tri.'s. As of right now, I wouldn't be shocked if any of 15 horses won the Ky Derby. Good luck all this weekend:-)
