Derby Longshot Picks

[BIG RED]

I think we had a thread on this last year? If not, here we go...........

Going with a beauty BIG TRUCK!!

50-1 M.L. (can you handle it) This horse falls in a longshot angle from way back, and really haven't been looking for lately, but it stuck out and bit me! He is the only one with it in the race, and that is usually the best case. Topping it off, has a great long work. This is the only thing I see in this horse. If it winz, looks like a new record payoff for the Darby :jump:

(might put a little on Ardiona also?)

So jump in, and shoot the moon :cool:

I like Z Fortune. Reformed speedster has had wide trip after wide trip and lived to tell about it.
Could get a great tuck in the second flight, brush by into the far turn and open up enough ground before Pyro gets on track.
The latter in my eyes is strictly the one to beat and am dead against Big Brown who has never run in the wet nor had to pass a horse. Good luck from the 20 post with all the speed inside of him.
Am also dead against his chandelier entrymate Court Vision who had less than no excuse in the Wood and the longer distance figures to enhance that hang.
I rarely if ever like a closer stretching out because they don't tack on the yardage after the wire. They tack it on at the beginning and the animal has to run that much farther early which takes the real sting out of his closing punch.
Good luck to all today. And if you ton into Bruce Levine in the 9th at Belmont, you'll have lots of extra cash to bet the Derby.
Have fun!!!

Someone I keep coming back to, #13 Bob Black Jack. He gets not only a good # for me, BUT if the track stays a little wet he's got Betrando in his top line & Mr. Prospector/ Native Dancer on the bottom. Ridden by 2nd time Mig who can steal a race on a pace horse as good as anyone. Nice speed figure pattern, here's a sprinter that has proved he can stretch out, take & give the heat.

If I am going with a spoiler I would take Big truck on dry and

visionaire on slop.

Anak Nakal and Big Truck will battle out the exacta --- last and next-to-last ... of the finishers, okay ?

Tale of Ekati will need mucha suerte from that post, but he's my pick, with Adriano and Visionaire to exactify. C'mon, horseys. :jump:

Full credit to Anak Nakal, who finished seventh. :ThmbUp: :eek:
