Easy Goer was my Derby pick, also. In fact, he was my pick every time he ran.
What's that Danzig? He couldn't win outside his home state? That sounds familiar. Is there another thread or two about a horse like that?

It's been twenty years, I think I can finally say that Sunday Silence was the better horse.
