If Mine that Bird was 50-1, what would Homeboykris be on the tote board? I'd have to imagine even higher. He would probably be the most improbable Derby winner ever. I sincerely hope Dutrow et. al. reconsider.

I don't know, Steve, but you would think if they were REALLY pissed at Edgar they would make him ride Homeboykris.

I think HBK will finish in the Top 10 Andy. Better than half the field.

I'm sure you have a terrific chance of getting someone to book your action on that.

Not looking for that, just saying with his style he will pass some horrendously dead horses in the stretch. And no I don't see him hitting the board....but somebody has to be 8th.

Nothing like a speed type with physical issues to split the field in this year's Derby.

It's too bad Nicky's Boy is AWOL. She could fill out your exacta.

Do they let bugs ride in the Derby?

Ramon is comitted to Rule and would want no part of that head case trying to complete 2 turns for the first time ever in the Derby. GOD help them all if he gets in and draws post #1.

I won't get burned again. Borel gets 100 bucks even if he is riding a goat. I was live to 8 horses last year in the P4 and wasn't smart enough to respect Borels track record at Churchill in graded races.

Gonna plunk some cash on Rachel if she goes in the La Troienne? Sounds like she has so much energy she might go enter herself if Asmussen doesn't do it fast enough. I bet they let Calvin do like he always does with her instead of all that screwing around like before.

As for Homeboykris, I totally get why they wanna go. I find it inconvenient for other horses, but I understand the thought processes. There've been worse reasons. I just hope he comes home safe and sound. He can't be in peak physical form right now can he? Has anybody here seem him lately?

Speaking of head case,I saw a recent picture of 85inafifty working out at CD and he is busy looking at the infield like he did in his last race instead of concentrating on what he is doing.

Homeboykris won the Grade 1 Champagne.

Fill me in on Backtalk's Grade 1 wins.
