Has he laid his official \"kiss of death\" selection yet....

jimbo66: No, not yet.

But dollars to donuts he picks I Want Revenge.  The only horses with Beyer figures well above the rest were Quality Road and I want Revenge.  With QR out, he probably has to go with IWR. Although I guess he could make a case for Dunkirk, as he has one triple digit beyer.

Silver Charm: Jimbo was it you or CtC that used to lay it on Andy. This year it seems he has waited so late that nobody will know until the Saturday Form is published.

If he does go with IWR that would be a pretty good pick

MonmouthGuy: He usually gives his pick in a DRF chat the week of the Derby.  He is no later than usual.

jimbo66: Silver,

Picking on Andy was about the only thing that Chuckles and I agreed on.  Beyer has been awful in the derby.  Missed out on picking several horses that had the top beyer speed figure, like War Emblem and Smarty Jones, which is hard to believe.

His pick usually gets posted in the Washington Post around Thursday.  We will see.

Silver Charm: Well I certainly would not want to take any glory away from you and/or CtC, who by the way should be unbanned for at least the Triple Crown.

Andy\'s Picks did take \"dumb money\" so they were certainly useful if not accurate.

jma11473: Well, he did pick Street Sense two years ago. He picked Pyro last year.

chrifron: I watched his video on WashingtonPost.com--besides picking IWR, he goes out of his way to say he is taking a strong position against POTN--says he wants to make money by tossing him out in all exotics. At least that part is consistent with the thinking of most people on this board.
