Pioneerof The Nile should also run well. And give some thought to Musket Man.
Glad to hear Kentuckyderby.com brought you back to blog. Your insight was missed.

Friesan Fire dominated the Louisiana Derby in the slop. He should love the off-track in the Derby.

They told me they took the site in the proverbial "different direction". And I suppose the direction they are hoping for involves less traffic and zero fan interaction.

Plus I think my demand of $30,000 for two blog posts per week from January to May was steep. So I decided to settle for TVG's offer of a $50 Derby future wager on Homeboykris at 10-1. It sounded like a solid compromise. Although who would have thought I could play him Derby Day at 5 times the price? Certainly not me.

I was kind of being sarcastic because I thought your post was a poor attempt at humor, but I do think it sucks they went away from fan interaction/blog posting because quite frankly Asher et al are pretty dry and toe the company line.
