There’s enough early speed in this race between the , , , , , , , and to set it up for some running ON or OFF the pace. Assuming that they all break well those showing the strongest early pace are the , , , , and . Expect those remaining to begin falling back after about 6 furlongs. The will probably work a bit harder to get a good early position going into the 1st turn.

The best of those running ON the pace would be the , , and . Not much separates them. The can also be considered with some additional improvement. (Although the post may compromise its chances).

The best of those running OFF the pace would be the , , and with the latter having showed the best late run. How they manage to maneuver through the tiring traffic will determine how well they finish. Their jockeys will play an important role.

In the interim, for my top choices I’m leaning toward the , , , and for vertical play. Aside from their obvious speed I believe at this point they’ve demonstrated the most class in their running abilities.

My final betting choices and type of bets will be based on how the live betting shapes up.

Well it looks like Mother Nature will be throwing us another curve by bringing us rain on both Fri and Sat. I’m going to assume that the track will wind up as either Muddy or Sloppy.

The following entries have previously handled the off going:
, , ,, , , , ,

The following entries have never run on an off track, but their breeding indicates the possibility of doing well:
, , , , ,

So I will probably eliminate from my top selections. I’ll substitute it with either the , , or .

Thanks for the update Andy!
I'll post my final KY Derby update sometime tomorrow. If there are any additional scratches at least there won't be new substitutions.

What's the story with the weather report? from what I hear... both days are going to be fine. A little rain after the Oaks and then Sat is suppose to be fast and firm?

Nice write up, Nitro - I like how you include the starts/wins in your comments, as I use the "champion's urge to win" as a final separator.

Most of the "speed" in the race was in the inside half of the field prior to the scratches, now I'm not so sure. It appeared the pressers and even the closers would get through the first turn okay with the field well spread out. Not as sure now. Still looks like the run into and around the second turn could be wild, if the pace is moderate or slow, with many horses spread across the track. Hard to tell which jock spots in the hole inside and times the move to get there.

I think the pace will be slower, but TFUS is projecting fast and so have a number of other touts. Almost tempted at this point to make two sets of bets based on different pace scenarios, but that's lunacy. On the other hand, we did have a beautiful full moon a couple nights ago.....

Thanks Parkview Pirate! It's been quite a chore keeping up with all the changes.

FINAL Update - KY DERBY - CHURCHHILL DOWNS – 5/6 –– R12 - 1&1/4 MI
From what I can see on the tote it looks like the betting numbers for each entry will be based on the original post position draw. So I’ve revised my PP numbers below to comply with that order:
Code:

PP	M/L     ENTRY			PROFILE- / PACE / O.A SPEED/WORK OUTS/ RECORD
#1	27/1	Hit Show			0N/100/ XWO / Has Won 3 of 5 life time races
#2	17/1	Verifying		OM/102/ XWO /In the Money 4 of 6 life time races
#3	7/1	Two Phils		OM/99/ XWO / Has Won 4 of 8 life time races
#4	16/1	Confidence Game	        OM/97/ XWO / Has Won 3 of 7 life time races
#5	9/2	Tapit Trice			ON/103/XWO / Has Won 4 of 5 life time races
#6	10/1	Kingsbarns		OM/99/XWO/ Undefeated
#7	12/1	Reincarnate		MK/97/ GWO /Never Out of the Money
#8	17/1	Mage			OM/100/FWO/ Has Won 1 of 3 life time races
#11	23/1	Disarm				ON/99/ FWO /Never Out of the Money
#12	32/1	Jace's Road		MK/96/ GWO/ Has Won 2 of 6 life time races
#13	29/1	Sun Thunder				OF/96/ GWO/ Has Won 1 of 6 life time races
#14	9/2	Angel Of Empire			        OF/105/ XWO / Has Won 4 of 6 life time races
#16	30/1	Raise Cain				OF/96/ PWO / Has Won 2 of 7 life time races
#17	7/1	Derma Sotogake	        OM/104/GWO/ Has Won 4 of 8 life time races
#18	27/1	Rocket Can		OM/98/XWO/ Has Won 2 of 7 life time races
#21	34/1	Cyclone Mischief	OM/97/XWO/ Has Won 2 of 7 life time races
#22	22/1	Mandarin Hero				NF/100/ PWO / Never Out of the Money
#23	32/1	King Russell				OF/98 / GWO / 1st or 2nd in last 4 races
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#9	19/1	Skinner				Scratched
#10	10/1	Practical Move			Scratched
#15	4/1	Forte				Scratched
#19	30/1	Lord Miles			Scratched
#20	54/1	Continuar			Scratched

There’s enough early speed in this race between the , , , , , , , , and 21 to set it up for some running ON or OFF the pace. Assuming that they all break well those showing the strongest early pace are the , , , , and . Expect those remaining to begin falling back after about 6 furlongs. The 21 will probably work a bit harder to get a good early position going into the 1st turn.
The best of those running ON the pace would be the , and . The should be considered with some anticipated improvement.
The best of those running OFF the pace would be the and 22 with the having showed the best late run. How they manage to maneuver through the tiring traffic will determine how well they finish. Their jockeys will play an important role.
All selections are for a fast track.

In the interim, for my top choices I’m still leaning toward the , , , , and 22 for vertical Exotics play. Aside from their obvious speed I believe at this point they’ve demonstrated the most class in their running abilities. My final betting choices and type of bets will be based on how the live betting shapes up.
NOTE: The odds as shown are as of SAT 9:00 AM EST
