Four Triple Crown winners came from winning the Wood Memorial and that does not include Secretariat who finished third in the Wood. So what's the point? On May 1st the horse who runs the best race will win the Kentucky Derby. That's the way it has always been!! Just pick a horse you like, stay on his band wagon, bet on him to win and if he doesn't, try it again next year!
Gotta love this horse
Sidney's Candy is the fastest horse in the field, don't like the FACT that he has never raced on dirt and it does matter, remember Pioneer of the Nile last year. Eskendereya won the Wood easily and was never touched with the whip. Lookin at Lucky had to give it his all to win the Rebel, can he run the 1 1/4?
This conversation is rather ridiculous, but if you want to place your bets according to color, then pick yourself a nice grey horse...lol
