The lead up to this Derby reads like a soap opera. "As Repole Turns".

Honestly, I'm looking forward to waking up on Sunday morning. I hope I wake up with more money than I had when I woke up on Saturday but all in all I'll be happy to see this Derby in the history books.

Reminds me of the horse that chased Secretariat - Sham.

Make the Uncle Mo-Repole sideshow stop. Horses sponsored by Pirate's Booty...Meet the Mo...daily vague interviews with excuses. Enough with the bull**** run him or take him out already. Let the coverage center around the Derby and who's going to be running in it.

Mike Repole's biggest problem? Mike Repole talking about Mike Repole in the 3rd person.

“He’s gotten so much better since the Wood,” Repole said late Thursday morning. “Whether it’s enough, Todd Pletcher and the vets will make a decision and Mike Repole will live with that decision.”

Just finished watching a show (DVRd earlier today) about Barbaro's Derby. Watched it after watching some of the Versus coverage from today. What struck me when I saw Barbaro working at Churchill pre-Derby was how much it looked like Uncle Mo working pre-Derby.

I hope he runs.

So this would be the third year in a row Pletcher has had to scratch the likely favorite. Sad.

or Quality Road, they were pretty close. You might be right, but still.

I do believe Quality Road was still in the care of Jimmy Jerkens at the time he was declared from the 2009 Derby.
