57pbass Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Kentucky Derby 136th -- Jerome A. Keel Saturday a little after 6:25 p.m. (give or take a few minutes), the greatest 120 seconds in sports takes place in Louisville Ky.the 136th Kentucky Derby, the annual Run for the Roses. Its a chance to be a part of history and watch the winner join all the other great horses that have won this special race. The Derby is the hardest of the Triple crown races to win: It doesnt always go to the best horse, but rather to the one with the most luck and the one that gets the best trip. A lot of strange twists have come to pass in earlier running of the race. All you can do in the end is hope that the Derby gods smile down on your horse and guide it into the winners circle, where it can have his or her picture taken with the champions roses draped around its neck. Lets take a look at some of the top contenders for this years race. # 16- Awesome Act: Had all kinds of trouble in the Wood Memorial. Stumbled out of the gate and lost a shoe and still finished third. He also was coming off a leg infection. I think hell run big on Derby day. He has a great turn off foot. If he stays out of trouble hell be there at the finish. # 17- Dublin: Nice colt but does not posses the killer instinct Hes always running at the end but just wont go on and win. A good bet to hit the board in the exotics. Has worked well over the track. He also has D. Wayne Lukas in his corner. # 1- Looking At Lucky: Will become the favorite with Eskendereya out of the race. Is the type of horse that any trainer would love to have in the stable. He loves to run and win. Hes overcome trouble in his races that hes worn blinkers in. Hell need that in the Derby. In the Derby the blinkers will come off. He has taken to the Churchill racecourse, with two great workouts. # 20- Sidneys Candy: This colt can run other runners into defeat. I dont think he has to be on the lead to win. Had a good work over the track. The Derby will be his first race on a regular dirt track. Hes won four out of six lifetime starts. He can motor, in the Santa Anita Derby he came home in: 35:2 thats racehorse time. #4- Super Saver: Out of all the horses that Pletcher has he Can improve with a return to Churchill. He won the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes as a two-year old at this track. He HAS BEEN TRAINING GREAT AND LOOKIN SUPER DOING IT. Im going to list a few long shots that should be very huge odds. They could make for a big payoff in the trifecta or superfecta. # 2- Ice Box: Hes won twice-going nine furlongs. Should be rolling in the stretch will have to over all the traffic. Has Nick Zito as his trainer. #14- Mission Impazible: Hes another closer. Ran only one bad race in five starts. # 3- Nobels Promise: His last start is a throw out. The Arkansas Derby had all kinds of trouble. Runs his race every start. # 10- Paddy O Prado: Finished second, in last start. Improving colt. My Selections. # 1- Looking At Lucky # 16- Awesome Act # 20- Sidneys Candy # 17- Dublin Good Luck and Safe trips to all the Horses and Jockeys. See you at the Betting windows.
