My wife picked the winner (Country, not Maximum) and also a friend of mine cashed big on the winner and also the exacta.
Maximum was the best horse, though.
I picked 7 based on handicapping and 5, 8, and 21 based on the post parade. I liked #13 because I thought he had some Honor Code pedigree and would be a closer based on the way Honor Code ran and based on the fact that McGuaghey seems to train dirt horses like they are grass runners that make a big move in the stretch.
My wife liked #20 in the post parade which I did, too, but I liked 21 better.
I thought #5 Improbable was a bit toey in the post parade and I was concerned that he would not win because he would use up too much nervous energy before the race even started.
My wife and I didn't bet. We haven't bet the Derby in several years. Glad I didn't bet. I would have bet #7. I hated to see #20 win by DQ, but that's racing.
