I changed my mind, mostly because of price. I'm taking a shot with Hold Me Back to win. I'll also use Friesan Fires as a saver and let the rest of the 18 beat me.

Sorry Tigger, Warren T's specialty is the Hambletonian
and being a douche! (and not necessarily in that order)

Dunkirk, Musket Man--I'll bet both to win.

I'll probably/want to do something underneath with Friesen Fire, Papa Clem(34 bullet 4/30),General Quarters, I want Revenge, and Pioneer of the Nile.

Musket Man is my 2009 Derby Pick

Will be used every which way in all my plays, which are still to be determined

I Want Revenge need only break with the pack and he wins.

If he somehow doesn't win ... I wouldn't have the slightest clue which of the 19 remaining horses I all have a pretty steadfastly negative opinion of will win. Some like Dunkirk are more likely than others like Mine That Bird .. but it's one horse that looks like the real deal with no knocks and a magic trainer running against 19 I have plenty of knocks for.

On my way to Chicago tonight so I won't get a chance to post or talk derby anymore. Good Luck to everyone playing and have a great Derby Day!

My picks:

1st- Dunkirk
2nd- IWR
3rd- West Side Bernie

I know I'm not really going out on a limb at all, but it seems like I've tried to beat the favorites every Derby I've bet and sometimes you can't.

i dunno about that. but i'm not as adamant that they should skip now, looking at what he'll be facing. he can certainly handle most of them, if not all of them.

if i had to pick right now, it'd be hard not to go with i want revenge. probably would use gen quarters underneath. his first works at churchill weren't that good, but it appears he's gotten more comfortable with each passing day.

Friesan Fire. But I'll be happy if any runner other than I Want Revenge wins.
