Aqaleem for me........... would love to see Mahler win, but looking on betfair he looks unlikely to run.

Anything but Authorized and i will be happy

Authorized deserves to be odds-on, looks a class above the rest to me.

I really want to see that one but that's right when i'll be outta here, damnit.

I'm still narrowing it down but i love Yellowstone, Eagle Mountain and Chekov.

AOB has it covered but I hope Eastern Anthem does well too.

No horse deserves to be odds on for the Derby, not in my opinion, anyway.

Entrepreneur was odds on for the derby and he got beat, i think Tenby was odds on too!

His odds are to do with hype, not to do with form. Aqaleem has already finished in front of Authorized as a 2yo.

Oops, just had a look at his pedigree. Yikes. Inbred to Nureyev and full sister Special, pretty closely, too. Lots of miler-types, including his mum (at least she's a good class SW) and big sister Limit. Full brother broke his maiden at 10f in Ireland (g/f), best he ever did. 12f could be a stretch, especially on softish ground. He'll need it to dry up a bit before tomorrow.

just another interesting fact - the last 4 derby winners Sir Percy (3 runs), Motivator (3), North Light (3) and Kris Kin (3) have a combined 0 wins after their Epsom triumph.. You have to go back to High Chaparral to find the last Epsom Derby winner to win a race after the Derby. Well he only won the Irish Derby, Breeders Cup Turf x2 (or 1 1/2), Irish Champion Stakes and the G2 Royal Whip.. some horse..

I am starting to think that only slow horses win the Derby these days, and even slower ones win the St Leger.

Am I the only one that can't get the Racing Post "free" video to work for Epsom? Everytime I try to watch the video, I'm given three pay methods to view.

Never assume Chapter One is a reflection of things to come.

Oh Genesis was pretty good,too.

Now look at the mess we have.







You have hurt my feelings.

I want my rib back.
