tell me your thoughts and predictions for this saturdays 134th kentucky derby.

i like the following horses:

1. colonel john    i dont care about the cali horse and polytrack myths, this horse loves the dirt. just watch his workouts on kentuckyderby.com. there phenomenal. he just eats up the track. and his sire is tiznow, who won the greatest race of his life @ CD. he can deffinitley get the distance.

2. big brown       im not sure he can win it, but hes gonna be up there the whole time. hes gonna be on or near a nice pace that is setting up for saturday. if he can pace himself, hell be in the money.

3. pyro        im drawing a complete line through his blue grass. im blaming the polycrap that he was running on. but, he shouldnt have ran 10th. anyways, that can be his bounce race. hes gonna fare well off the hot pace, since this is seeming to be a closers race.

4. eight belles     i love this filly. shes big. shes got tons of stamina. she can do the distance. i liked her last race in the honeybee, where she showed tha shes a fighter and wasnt giving up to alina in the homestretch. larry jones is making the right decision with this big, leggy filly. lets hope that she doesnt draw the 20 hole. she also will be carrying 5lbs less than her male competition. shes had scintillating workouts over the churchill surface. if she gets a nice post position, watch out boys, cas this little girl can run!

5. court vison    hasnt really done anything since his 2yo season. hes been hitting the board, but nothing impressive. he should fare well off the hot pace. liek i said before, this horse can close off a hot pace, since its going to be liek the 05 derby, a closers race.

6. bob black jack    i loved his SAD. you may call me crazy, but is he runs his SAD, hes gonna be up there, and for a good price too.

7. z fortune       this is a good closer that is gonna carry a hefty price. this horse can run. i liked the way he ran in the ark. derby. ill deff put a couple $ on him to show.
