Who's gonna win the Derby? Invasor has won 3.9 million this season and Nobiz Like Shobiz is getting some hype. If someone can tell me who's gonna win I would greatly appreciate it.

They draw for post position on Wednesday. I'll let you know then.

Just don't bet on #3. Or crazy #7.

The Queen of England will be there.

I hope crazy #7 runs over the figurehead. Down with monarchy!

She's just a figurehead.

Ok. I've done some more research and my favorites are Circular Quay, Street Sense and Nobiz Like Shobiz. Curlin is a favorite by many "experts", but Curlin has a lot of history against winning the Derby. Only 3 career starts, no horse has won KD with that few starts since 1915. Did not race as a 2 year old, no horse has won KD since 1882 that did not race as a 2 year old. Curlin did win the Arkansas derby by 10 1/2 lengths, but it was one of the slowest paces in something like 20 years.

Don't blow all your money. What did you lose at Keeneland? I lost track, no pun intended, it was almost too damn cold to drink beer.

"Eat you betting money, don't bet you eating money", comes to mind.

Two things I'm going to hate on Saturday:
#1 - the Queen. Don't give a shit. Never have.
#2 - Barbaro. Dead horse. Don't beat it.
