I'm not sure yet but looks as Wimbledon may have been scratched sired by Wild Rush at any rate he had some good stats but don't know if he could go the distance. This may change but so far I like Tapit, The Cliffs Edge and smarty Jones the field is really wierd this year. This is going to take some thought.

I think I'm going to bet Pollard's Vision. Will take my money to OTB tomorrow morning. I'm not sure if I'll do a trifecta this year.

Go horsies!

Song of the Sword is Action This Day. Pat yourself on this day, with Minister Eric as Master David tells a tale on The Cliff's Edge of Birdstone about Imperialism and St Averil from Borrego. Read The Footnotes along the Birdstone as Smarty Jones of Castledale with Pollard's Vision, Tapit Pro Prado, of

LOUISVILLE, Ky. ? Here's the main thing you need to know about today's Kentucky Derby: If you pick the winner, you're going to get a price.

"Whoever picks the trifecta is going to be driving a new BMW," said John Ward, trainer of the 2001 Derby winner, Monarchos.

Ward added, "Whoever picks the superfecta will be able to buy a new home."

One of the most wide-open fields in anyone's memory will assemble at the starting gate for the 130th Derby ? a field that was reduced from a maximum 20 down to 18 after the defections yesterday of Wimbledon and St Averil.

As a result of the two scratches, track officials decided that the first two stalls in the starting gate will be left vacant. Horses to the inside of Imperialism will all move out toward him in post 10.
