I am not betting, but American Pharaoh for the win. Frosted to place. Ocho Ocho Ocho to show.
I am loving the post position of my picks! |

       Location: Montana | I really like the post positions Dortmund and Carpe Diem got. They are both fast breaks (if they break clean), so it could be a regular horse race at the first, and hopefull last. I don't like American Pharaoh so far out, but if there was any horse that could make up ground, it would be him. I do believe it will be a true horse race this year! |

        Location: Kansas | Too many horses in the gate........as usual. Box a great horse in and take away his chance at the Winners Circle. One of my horse racing pet peeves.

| Theses are my picks!....
El Kabeir (30-1)--Calvin Borel
Dortmund (3-1)--Martin Garcia
Firing Line (12-1)--Gary Stevens
These should be 1, 2, 3 and its gonna be a toss up on which one it is...I do not believe American Pharoah will have a dog in the race a horse has never won the Kentucky Derby from the far outside....he may have heart, speed, and breeding but I think the post is gonna get him.
I may be wrong....I have yet to pick a winner since early 90's! lol .... I am so a QH girl.

       Location: Montana | Other than American Pharaoh, it doesn't change much in the way I've been thinking. However, it helps him out a little. I really can't pick between Dortmund, American Pharaoh, and Carpe Diem...I think all three of them have a good shot at winning. It will be interesting... |
