Default Another crazy derby

I swore that after handicapping last years race I would never again have so many negative things to say about each runner. Well, this year the same thing is happening. And to top it all off, the track is going to be wet again. This is setting up for another crazy unpredictable derby. Nobody comes without a major blaring negative. The defection of Eskendereya and Looking and Lucky's draw have made the derby completely wide open. Do not be surprised if Tom Durkin has to look down at his program again and figure out who the heck just took the lead at the eighth pole. Handicapping this I keep landing on Ice Box, Paddy o Prado, Devil May Care, and Dublin....which makes me feel really stupid . Good luck to anyone who is seriously trying to bet this race. I'll be watching with very little money invested.

I've finally made up my mind. I'm going to predict Super Saver. Final answer.

calm down and enjoy the experience. it's just another wide open horse race so handicap it like one.

bet $2.00 across the board and you will most likely come out ahead!
