Who does everyone like?

 

If it comes up muddy, and it appears that way, I am all over Soldat. Throw out his last race and he has always been in the top 2.

Twice the Appeal. I know the owners, he's got Calvin Borel, and he's the highest rated mudder in the field.

I still have my heart set on Uncle Mo he will definitely be in the money and Dialed In also. JD

I have become a fan of Julien Laparoux, so I am thinking about Dialed In. Am I reading this correctly...is there a field bet this year?

[SSC]

The draw will be very important with no clear cut favorite.

Who ya got?

Sorry, I didn't see this one in the General Discussion forum. In the immortal words of Roseanne Rosanna Danna, "never mind."

[RomanEmpire]

I will release my pick on Friday.

[bugatti]

Anyone going to be in attendance Friday or Saturday? I will be there both days.

Possibly Friday for me. I haven't been to the Derby in several years.

[NamecipS]

Anyone have a listing of the field?

I'm sticking with ArchArchArch.

I still don't know if I'll actually walk in the gates, but if you're walking down Central Avenue toward the track from the Fairgrounds on Saturday, be sure to wave at the people standing on top of the row of cabooses by Cardinal Stadium; I'll be tailgating there in the late morning and early afternoon.

I'll be there. Sec. 117 Row C. Can't remember the box number off the top of my head.
