Afleet Alex is my favorite horse of all time.

I just feel sorry for Giacomo because he always gets dissed. I know he is a slow plodder...well, I guess he isn't THAT slow. I mean he does pop up and win a nice race about once a year.

Yes, Point Given was a very talented horse. In fact, I think that Point Given could have been a GREAT horse if he would have kept running. However, I think that Bernardini will prove to be the better one of the two this Saturday.

Of course, some of these horses that I cheer for I won't be betting on. However, I am the kind of person that cheers for certain horses if they win, even if I just lost my bets because of them. I bet for fun. It is always nice to win money, and that is what I try to do. But, it never is a big deal if I lose the money because I only bet money that I can afford to lose anyway.

Im not sure if I name any of my pets Giacomo let alone my kid, needless to say Im not Sting either....talking about Derby 05, rabbits did him a huge favor that day and he is not a proven champion. Since, he hasnt won a race, may be once.. therefore not worthy of KY Derby. Look at Funny Cide, almost shares the same fate (only FC won a bit more)

Giacomo is worthy of the Kentucky Derby because he WON the Kentucky Derby. Nobody can take that day away from him... rat or not.

It'd be cool if Silent Name did well in the Mile... only one other Japanese bred has ever run in the Breeders Cup races. Isn't he also due to stand stud here in the US? We need some more Sunday Silence blood in this country.

i will be rooting for every horse in the classic that is not bernardini. as they turn for home i actually plan on yelling that...."come on everyone that is not bernardini" if he finishes off the board i will be happy as a clam.

if i could pick one horse that i would love to see win.....it would have to be perfect drift.
