Kentucky Derby Thoughts

With the big race tomorrow, I thought I would lay down some random thoughts...

Were I betting man, I would most assuredly take Gun Runner at 10-1.  He has looked great in his workouts and is a serious contender.  Take Gun Runner to win...Nyquist is a fine horse and is unbeaten. He is favored for a reason. He is a safe choice for a win and should hit the board easily....He who doth count out Mohaymen is a fool. Mohaymen had a bad trip at the Florida Derby, No big deal, even Secretariat and Pharaoh lost two races.  Although it's disconcerting to see him fighting so much in his workouts, don't be surprised if he sneaks on to the board....Exaggerator can go toe to toe with Nyquist, He already has. He runs well in the rain by the way...If you are into Long Shots, Majesto is a fun one at 30-1. 

Javier Castellano is probably my favorite jockey. He's on Destin...Victor Espinoza will be on Whitmore. 

Uncle Mo has 4 sons in the race. That's right. FOUR!  Tapit has 3. 

Cant wait until Larry says "Theyre all in line..."
