I don't have a real strong opinion in the Derby, for a top choice I keep coming back to #9 Destin, the layoff doesn't concern me that much it's more him coming out of that weird Tampa track for his preps, which can be a tiring surface and I think one of the reasons they decided to go with the extra time between races. Think he has the tactical speed to work out a trip regardless of the how hot the pace is. With #20 Danzig Candy drawing way outside I think there's a chance of a fairly slow pace which would hurt the rest of the horses I like best, #19 Brodys Cause, #6 My Man Sam, #17 Mor Spirit. #13 Nyquist istough and deserving favorite just can't key a horse at 2-1 in this field and have to try to beat for the top spot. #11 Exaggerator is one I have questions about, took advantage of a ridiculously fast pace in the slop in the Santa Anita, will use defensively underneath.
Will use mostly #9 and #6 on top, with the others I mentioned underneath, will play a tri with #13,#11 on top. The only real tosses I have are #1, 7, 8
