Arkansas Derby

[toppled]

I\'m going with Blackberry Road to pair up or better and win this thing.  The only horse with a faster top is Z Fortune who couldn\'t do much from the 9 hole in the Rebel and now goes from pp 12, plus carries 4 more pounds than BR.  It\'s anyone\'s race for 2nd & I think the 3 field horses have just as good a shot to hit the board as anyone else does to complete exotics.  
Anyone else with an opinion on this race?

Borel should have BR way back, 1w or 2w. his late kick could very well be more effective against this bunch. just need the trip. 8-1 fair.

I like Shekinah. a few decent 7\'s, and a nice \'4\' last. should be able to tuck in behind the speed. the outside field horse even has a shot to hit the board.

good luck.
