I changed my mind, mostly because of price. I'm taking a shot with Hold Me Back to win. I'll also use Friesan Fires as a saver and let the rest of the 18 beat me.

I am waiting on the Warren T and Whobet newsletters to arrive before I pick.

Sorry Tigger, Warren T's specialty is the Hambletonian

and being a douche! (and not necessarily in that order)

POTN is a lock and if he loses I promise that Morty will be banned from this forum !

P.O.T.N is a lock.........with dunkirk,i.w.r., in the 2nd slot. then go dunkirk, i.w.r, summer bird, desert, and chocolate candy to round out the tri.

shouldn't everyone be using friesan fire in their second spot on ex's? jones and porter OWN second place.

seriously tho...two days to the race, plenty of time to figure it out. or try to.

Not exciting. I think Dunkirk wins.

JohnGalt1 · #9 04-30-2009, 08:25 PM

Dunkirk, Musket Man--I'll bet both to win.

I'll probably/want to do something underneath with Friesen Fire, Papa Clem(34 bullet 4/30),General Quarters, I want Revenge, and Pioneer of the Nile.

Musket Man is my 2009 Derby Pick

Will be used every which way in all my plays, which are still to be determined

I Want Revenge need only break with the pack and he wins.

If he somehow doesn't win ... I wouldn't have the slightest clue which of the 19 remaining horses I all have a pretty steadfastly negative opinion of will win. Some like Dunkirk are more likely than others like Mine That Bird .. but it's one horse that looks like the real deal with no knocks and a magic trainer running against 19 I have plenty of knocks for.

i dunno about that. but i'm not as adamant that they should skip now, looking at what he'll be facing. he can certainly handle most of them, if not all of them.

if i had to pick right now, it'd be hard not to go with i want revenge. probably would use gen quarters underneath. his first works at churchill weren't that good, but it appears he's gotten more comfortable with each passing day.

DaTruth · #14 05-01-2009, 12:51 AM

Friesan Fire. But I'll be happy if any runner other than I Want Revenge wins.

intense · #15 05-01-2009, 01:50 AM

Pioneerof The Nile or Fresian Fire... probably going to change though.

i tend not to root for or against (except last year) horses in the derby. i'm not keen on the half owner, or the trainer, but i think i want revenge is going to win. the only gr 1 winner on dirt in the field, how bizarre!
