Yup he is out left front foot? It will be interesting to see if anyone tries to get Mike Smith aboard?
AND let's see if they decide to run Pablo Del Monte.

| I want the horse that's related to Nate to win it!
Oh wait! That's all of them!
Sorry, I don't have a favorite at the moment. I just want it to be a smooth race with no injuries or major mishaps.  |

California Chrome
And, I saw Ride On Curlin break his maiden last year at Ellis, that dude is CLASSY, even as a 2yr old he had his own "presence", so he is one of my picks. Definitely helps that Calvin is on him. Wish he was closer to the rail but if ROC and Borel are on their game and trust each other they should be fine. |

Location: Kentucky | I haven't heart if Mike got a ride yet.... I watched the coverage this AM and they didn't talk about it.
It's 60 degrees right now and getting cloudy, but it's only a 10-20% change of rain today. Don't worry about a muddy/sloppy track tomorrow. It will be 75 and sunny, so a fast track for sure.
The jets are starting to land at the airport and everyone is off work here in Louisville. TIME TO PARTY!!!!  |

No, unfortunately my husband and I promised to go to Illinois with my parents to help my mom with her geneology research(I wasn't thinking about it being Derby day!). Have fun! I have never been over at the club house during a big race but I usually work for a trainer through the summer so I am on the backside a LOT, if you ever come down to watch the races through the season let me know! I would love to meet up with you! |

Shoot, I'm not that highfalutin to go to Derby. We drink beer and bourbon and watch it on TV, and do bets on the side. And I'm only 30 miles from the track. Go figure. |
