  This weekend is the 134th Kentucky Derby. I plan on drinking some Mint Juleps and doing some off track betting for the most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

  Anyone have any insider tips?

  The smart money is on Big Brown ... but when has the smart money ever proven correct?

  • I love the quote I heard this morning: "I have an interesting approach: I pick the horse that runs faster than all the others."– blaw1/4

    Referring to Big Brown, that is.– blaw2/4

    very true statement, the expected winner rarely wins this race.– joyride3/4

    haahah blaw!– flavorful4/4

  i'm pretty sure it's this weekend, it kind of snuck up on me. I have friends that I used to go OFF TRACK betting with every year and they just moved back to Louisville. Last year we all promised to attend in person ( after a few too many juleps ). Needless to say I'll be watching at a bar again.

  Based on the odds Pyro and Colonel John look like safe picks as well.

  Throw in a Denis of Cork, and a Z-Fortune for good measure to cover your bases.

  When planning on upsets it's always good to cover on actual smart bets.

  I live 5 min from the track - the word on the street is Colonel John

  • I'm reading up on everything now before I actually throw down. Seems to be a strong pick.– flavorful1/4

    Cork is wearing pink though.

    is pink good luck?

  I've like pyro since last year, but his last race (10th) has me worried. I don't really like the jockey on Col. John, but maybe he's due. Never count out e. prado, so adriano could be a dark horse. I think the winner this year will be a 10 or 15 - 1. Big brown is starting outside (20) so I think he's gonna press hard early to get towards the front(like he always does), but it's a long race so I think he'll tire.

  Track should be dry, with only rain overnite and early morning...
