Good maybe LR and BD will draw the far outside. I think the speed horses will be the only ones hurt by outside post-draws. I don\'t think the trainers want post 1 or 2 for their speed horses either.
First to pick and first under the wire.
Good Luck,

Its a long run to the first turn. I don\'t think outside is as bad as a lot of people think. Better than being jammed down inside, avoiding heels and horses bumping you around.
I think it\'s bad for LR and BD now there\'s about 5 other speed horses to the inside, they either stay with them and go wide or they drop in behind, meaning they will be off the pace where BD won\'t like it.

Really Joe? You think he\'ll be first under the wire? Is this the same AP Warrior that ran a DREADFUL 4th to Cuase to Beleive in the El Camino Real? I can\'t see this one winning...But I don\'t know a whole lot either.
If you like AP at 15-1 don\'t you have to LOVE CTB at 50-1 and likely to drift up from there? CTB could be the Closing Argument of this year\'s Derby...
Food for Thought I suppose...
Uncle Buck----
Derbies are not won or lost in January. I just think he\'s ready to run the race of his life which he will have to do to win it. I\'ll take my chances that he can and will at 15-1.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
