It's hard for me to bet against the favorites - Curlin and Streetsense. I can see Streetsense or HardSpun being a Kentucky Derby winning name (that's my scientific approach to choosing a winner).

My logical choice is Streetsense.

I'm placing my money on Any Given Saturday. He has good odds but a nice pay off. The name would be an interesting story if he wins on the historic first Saturday in May.

Can't wait for the Derby, jere. I watch every year.

At this time, i have no favorite. Who has been running well at that distance?
Hope it's a good fast track.

I'm not exactly sure...but I have heard several of the owners say that their horse would have no problem with it. StreetSense is supposed to be a large powerful horse that takes a while to get into it's stride. He should have enough space to get their if in contention.

The weather is calling for rain - so it will probably be muddy and sloppy. We are a couple of years removed from the synthethic type mud that is replacing most of the tracks around the country - so we just got a couple of years left of slow tracks.

I understand that Queen Elizabeth will be attending in person. No doubt she will be in the VIP section with heavy security. No word on which horse she will be backing.

I assumed she'd be body-surfing in the infield.

considering the royal family's habit of marrying 1st cousins, she should feel right at home:lolhit:

You know...your signature fits you perfectly.

What a jackass.

Who has been running well at that distance?At one and a quarter mile, the Kentucky Derby is the longest race that any of these three-year-olds have run. So know one really knows who will run well at that distance.

You're rather touchy about a few things. Hillary Clinton for one. And apparently the queen.

he hates polar bears too!

Lionel - you must be smarter than that.

I'm not touchy about the queen - I'm touchy about the comment directed towards my state. He implied that she would fit in because of the incest sterotype here.

I'm not touchy about Hilary Clinton! I even said in that thread that I wasn't a supporter of her.

What I am touchy about is ignorance. There's nothing worse.

I thought it may be.

A lot of reports are saying that that Scatdaddy has a good shot of winning based on that he has won in the mud - but now the weather looks like it may miss Louisville - so it may be up in the air again.

The Queen is a well known horsewoman with a lifelong love of horses, racing, and breeding. She has her own stable and I believe one of her horses won Ascot.

I still have no favorite but usually go for a horse with a cool sounding name, god help me.
One of my rants ( and i guess this belongs in Chat Central) is horses with silly dumb sounding names--like the racehorse No More Flowers of a few years back.

Now what the heck kind of dumb name is that for a 3000 pound animal that could kick you into the next county if he was so inclined?

Give me names like Man o' War or Exterminator.

PS Man o War was the best racehorse ever. He never ran at the Derby-- but had records that stood for years. I have a toy Man o War horse that Dad bought me many years ago. The toy be watching the race with me today.:@@:

I agree with you on the names. Funny Cide? What the hell was that all about?

Man O' War....I travel that road quite often. I guess that answers my question to you "Man O' War vs. Secretariat."

AKC dog names are way worse.
