U'll win some and u'll lose some but at least have reasons. Maybe when u post your reasons, I'll be able to find an angle that I hadn't thought about.

People on here are so quick to jump on others when they are wrong. It makes u not even want to post your thoughts sometimes. I look at the thread where I picked Curlin as the winner. I've been on the Curlin wagon since the Rebel and said going into the Derby that he was the clear best 3yo in the country. Picked him as the winner today and what was the first thing people jumped on me about? My selection of Flying First Class in the THIRD SPOT. Amazing.
Hey a lot of people liked Curlin, but not many had FCC above Street Sense and Hard Spun. Those are the types of picks that stand out in ones mind.

But great job, kudos that you were on the Curlin bandwagon, the morning line favorite for the derby.
