Your best "top pick" Derby selection from the past
How many correct Derby picks did you have in the past? Since I've been playing (22 yrs.) I've only had three correct "on top" -
Spend A Buck '85 / Fusiachi Pegasus '00 / Barbaro '06 this race is the toughest to select in my opinion.

I've only been actively betting the Derby for about four years now -- and the only one I got right was Smarty Jones.

I have been picking for 17 Derbys and only have three correct.
* Lil E. Tee * Go For Gin * Real Quiet I have had a tough run the last nine years. I seem to have done better when I used to pick based off of names instead of trying to use my handicapping skills (or lack thereof).

My best from odds was Betting Monarchos in Feburary (before the Fla Derby) @ 30-1 odds......Matter of fact was the ONLY Debry Pool bet I ever made. Last years Exacta was a nice score with Barbarbo & Bluegrass cat!
Love to see them derby exacta pools when they cross the 20 million line...

Had Giacomo for the win, really only because the kid sitting beside us that afternoon was named Jack and I looked Giac. PPs over again and saw he had posted a pretty good Beyer at one pt. Put him in there w/ Bandini and Bellamy Rd for the exacta which didnt pan out. I guess Ive been lucky the last 3 years at the derby, handicapping the rest of the year has been mediocre
