Derby update for Monday

Here is a wierd connection, this guy who repaired the hoof on Big Brown, used to curl at Plainfield.

So where are we in the choices? So far, Big Brown, Colonel John, Pyro, Gayego are in the mix although one will probably get thrown out. If past history is any indicator, bet the house on the one I throw out. Others that I will be looking at are Z Fortune, Recapturetheglory and Bob Black Jack. Why those are intriguing is due to their past Beyer numbers. Not gonna explain what that is but in the last 20 years, only one horse with a Beyer under 100 has won the Derby. So they get considered.

But seven horses is too many to bet so there will be more digging when the past performances come out late Wednesday. Also, the post position draw will be done that evening.

It is an exciting week.
Later,
JH

You missed the real odd coincidence here: the guy who fixed the other food was NAMED "Curl". What are the chances? It's a sign, I tell you.
