Derby final update

The final decision is..........Colonel John wins the Derby. Bullet work at Churchhill, trainer is a Baffert disciple, Nakatani will ride his horse through a wall to win, bred for distance.

Big Brown might hit the board or more likely will finish about 7th. I am throwing him out.

Others that I like and will box with the Colonel. Z fortune - 2nd in the Ark. Derby with a 102. Monba - better of the two Pletcher horses, this may be his year in a wide open field. Gayego - Ark. Derby winner with a 103, seasoned jock Mike Smith aboard.

Ones to consider for the exactas and trifectas - Eight Belles, Pyro, Denis of Cork, Recapturetheglory.

As stated previously, probably wont bet a tri, there are 15 horses that could finish third.

Good luck to all.

Later,
JH
