Silver,

I sympathize and I have done this myself and I can tell you one thing flat out -- this whipping yourself into a frenzy three weeks ahead of time is the surest way to lose.

Want to win the Derby? Put it out of your mind. When they do the draw, get the sheets and make a decision. It\'s just another race. Relax. HP

When my father won his first Derby in 1994, he looked at me and shouted \"I WON THE DERBY\"...lol

Its not just another race. Dad sounded like he owned a damn horse...its the ULTIMATE handicapping test. This year, maybe the best test ever.

I hit my very first derby last year, And I got it pretty good, cashing the win, ex, tri, and super.
I wagered online and watched it on TV.  My wife thought I went crazy as I ran through the house pumping my fist, diving on our bed in elation.  
It wasn\'t so much the score, because i\'ve had bigger days.  But just the fact, I HAD JUST WON THE DERBY.  
Man, I love this game!

The Beyer figures haven\'t been too shabby the last two years, so I\'m not sure what you mean by that.  At $43 and $26, you don\'t have to be right too often.

BeyerGuy:

I\'m not referring to his numbers, I\'m referring to his selections.

Here\'s a prediction for this year...the top Beyer #, THE CLIFF\'S EDGE (Bluegrass =111) and READ THE FOOTNOTES (FOY= 113) won\'t be on the board.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

If you bet the Beyers last year, you certainly didn\'t come up with Funny Cide. Unless you took the 2nd best Beyer. I can\'t remember now...did Ten Most Wanted have a better Beyer fig?

I seem to recall War Emblems Ill. Derby was a good Beyer fig, but was it fastest coming in?

[beyerguy]

Ten Most Wanted did not have the a better Beyer, it was the same 110.  In fairness, the difference between FCs 110 and EMs 111 is meaningless.  One was 5-2, one was 12-1.

War Emblem did have the top number.

I agree with you on the selections, he always seems to out think himself.
