[slotdirt]

Bombs a-freaking-way.

CA phucked!

Only help for LAL is Ice Box is in 2 which means he will have a little room cause Ice Box will be dropping back right off the top


Sidney's Candy is the one in trouble,how the hell is he gonna get over from other there

I am crying cause how do I play Dean's Kitten?? I was gonna play #8 but HOW can I

[ateamstupid]

I don't know that Sidney's Candy's draw is as problematic as Lookin at Lucky's. The 20-hole may force him to let Line of David and Conveyance go and sit off third/fourth, which was his only chance to win anyway.

They both bad!! Just saying Sidney's Candy will have trouble getting over and LAL will at least have a little space with Ice Box next to him until the ALL fall on him

Agreed. Just a matter of how much ground he can save going into the first turn. I think it's an ok draw, especially for a horse that has never taken dirt before, might actually help him settle without getting splattered.

Yeah, I dont think 20 hurts Sidney's Candy all that much. He has enough natural speed to be okay.. he might be 5 wide but sometimes 5 wide and clear isnt the worst place to be in the derby.

LaL is screwed.

The 1-hole is not good for LAL, but I think it will at least force Gomez to pull him back and make one big run, which I would think is the way he needs to run to win this race anyway.

[slotdirt]

I think Lookin at Lucky will be fine where he is. I also think post position is overrated considering what Big Brown did a couple years ago, or how posts 18-20 ran like 2-4-5 in the 2005 Derby. If you like Sidney's Candy, good for you, you're going to get much better odds on him based on his position.

[philcski]

Doesn't need to be said enough times that it's a brutal draw for Lookin at Lucky.

[Nascar1966]

Wow only two horses at single digit odds.

Usually there are twenty, or near twenty, starters in the derby.

1986+20=2006.

Doesn't seem so horrible to me.
