I'm thinking it will be Papa Clem. I think that the three main horses coming out of California (Pioneer, IWR, and Papa Clem) all had/have the dirt question to answer. IWR and PC both have answered it while Pioneer has yet to do so. Now that we know PC can run on the dirt, I think more attention is going to be put on the fact that he did finish ahead of IWR at Santa Anita. I know Old Fashioned got hurt in the running and a lot of people weren't impressed with the Arkansas Derby but for me, it was a really good effort. I could see Papa Clem dropping down to about the 7/1 or 8/1 range.

The true " wise guy " opinion in this year's KY Derby is that Pioneer of the Nile is a major bet against. There really is no " wise guy horse " to bet on.

You mean I'm the only person on the West Side Bernie bandwagon? I figured the groundswell on W.S.B. would be well on its way to "wise guy" status by now.

All I know is if Quality Road isn't 100%, I have no idea where I'll end up.

Right, they are the anti-wise guys, which just furthers my point. Once again, there is a misconseption of what a wise guy is around here. Like it or not.....The Fat Man is the " wise guy " of this board.

A true 'wise guy' pick would be taking a stand against one of the 'conventional' darlings (i.e. high speed figure horses). This year, that would be Quality Road. Too bad all that quarter crack BS is going on; and will scare some supporters away. |

When was the last time the "wise guy" horse actually WON the Derby? Or even hit the board???
And I don't want to hear Monarchos because he was a strong contender all season.

Go for Gin was a wise guy horse coming off two major against the track losses.

That was by far the deepest Kentucky Derby field this decade ... and that complete no talent bum Dollar Bill was somehow the 2nd choice in the Derby betting after getting drubbed by like 8 lengths to Millenium Wind in the Blue Grass ... and losing to Fifty Stars with a massively overrated "bad trip" his start prior. A classic example of a total slowpoke with not so cleverly disguised darkened form ... getting bet like mad into the teeth of many wildly superior horses. |

Like seven or eight of the horses coming into the Derby Dollar Bill's year had a race or two that made them look like friggin beasts.
I realize a lot of them weren't the type who figured to enjoy a fast paced 10 furlong race .. but the year was loaded to the gills with talented sharp horses. I don't think it's debatable at all. That was the most impressive group coming into the Derby. |
