Your Past Derby Picks
 

How many winners thru the years have you picked? I had Thunder Gulch, Fu Peg, Silver Charm, Smarty Jones, Big Brown, Monarchos, Go For Gin, Grindstone, Lil E Tee and Barbaro. Not to bad 10 Winners since 1992. First Derby was the Lil E Tee's win in 1992 and been betting it since I scored with him. I almost had the Super when Monarchos won but damn Inky got by Congoree in the last jump. Had the tri but the Super would've been great.

Could be an entertaining tread,

All my picks have been alittle short of the winners circle

Buzzard's Bay was the one that got away.

Barbaro. End of list.

So whats the pick this year?:p

I play a 5 horse exacta box every year plus all kinds of other bets depending on funds

One of these years I'll hit a nice one on the First Saturday In May

If' it's wet I'm going Prappy o Prado and Ice Box. Still looking for my Dry track winner. I don't think Lucky or Candy Hits the board in this one. Maybe 4th at best for either of them. It's going to be somebody long this year for sure.

Barbaro, Street Sense, Smarty Jones, almost forgot Big Brown too.

Winners:

FuPeg

Runners-Up:

Empire Maker
Lion Heart
Bluegrass Cat
Pioneerof The Nile

Very few, Thunder Gulch,Monarchos and Unbridled come to mind.

The losers seem to stand out more...Lost Mountain,Badgerland,a horse with flower in its name(not flower alley) send flowers or somthing like that, 3 or 4 years back there was a horse with "super" in the name that raced mostly at Calder,Screen King, the list seems endless.

I had Unbridled, Barabaro, Street Sense, Big Brown and Last year was my best year by pure luck as I back wheeled Pioneer of the Nile in the exacta for $1.

Hoping to catch somer more of that Derby magic again. I must admit that I am totally confused in looking at the field and the guess work involved in horses transitioning from different surfaces. Hopefully I'll come up with something now that the PPS are available and the Post Positions have been drawn.

My worst/most embarassing picks: Monba, Bandini, Dollar Bill

2001 tri Invisible Ink, Congaree, Point Given...you may wonder why I left off Monarchos ? I 've been wondering myself ever since.

Taylor's Special, Chief's Crown, Mogambo, Gulch, Winning Colors, Sunday Silence, Thirty Six Red, Best Pal, Technology, Diazo-Corby entry, Brocco, Thunder Gulch, Editor's Note, Silver Charm, Real Quiet, Prime Timber, Captain Steve, Point Given, Perfect Drift, Buddy Gil, Lion Heart, Sun King, Barbaro, Street Sense, Pyro, and Friesan Fire.

Charismatic & Big Brown.

Got off of Street Sense for Circular Quay a few years ago.

In reality, I suck on Derby day. Maybe this is the year I do something other than get drunk and lose.

This is my 20th....

Hansel 10th
AP Indy- scratch Lil E Tee 1st
Sea Hero 1st
Strodes Creek 2nd
Thunder Gulch 1st
Editors Note got lucky as he was coupled with Grindstone who won
Silver Charm 1st
Cape Town 5th I think
Cat Thief 3rd
The Deputy- Awful
Point Given 5th
Perfect Drift 3rd
Empire Maker 2nd
The Cliff's Edge 5th
Afleet Alex 3rd
Barbaro 1st
Circular Quay 10th

I had Monarchos, Congaree, and Ink but I keyed everything below Point Given who I didn't think could lose.

Sea Hero and Charismatic.
