May 2, 201610 yr Well, it's Derby week! I thought we should get an official thread started. Who all is going this year? We'll be there. Sec. 117. Weather looks good right now. Maybe even a little warm! Post position draw will obviously have a lot to do with odds/wagering, but here are my Top 5 right now: 1. Nyquist- until he loses, he'll be my #1 2. Creator- bred for the distance 3. Mor Spirit- another one that should have no trouble with the distance 4. Gun Runner- last race was pretty impressive 5. Suddenbreakingnews (longshot)- was flying at the end of his last two. Added distance could be just what the doctor ordered.
May 4, 201610 yr Personally I think this is a wide open Derby. Great year to pick an underdog and roll for big bucks

May 5, 201610 yr I have to look at the field a little. Is it released now? It's on multiple web sites I believe, saw it on wkyt
May 5, 201610 yr My picks W- Nyquist PL- Exaggerato SH- Mohaymen Really went out on a limb there picking the top 3 favorites.
May 5, 201610 yr I'll be in Section 117 as well, but for the Oaks and not the Derby. If anyone is a big enough fan to do a deep dive look into any of Friday's races I would love some betting suggestions.

May 5, 201610 yr I'll be boxing Nyquist, Shagaf, and Whitmore I'm thinking. Maybe throw a few bets down that include Oscar Nominated or Trojan Nation as well.
