And so far, no scratches other than the 2 on the AE list.
Wondering how bad the outside post will hurt some of the “better” horses…
I’m still with Always Dreaming (like the PP) and Irish War Cry.

always dreaming loses his cool in the paddock/post parade and runs to the lead; draining his batteries. I am an avid fan of his and I think he has loads of talent but I don’t see him settling in for this one
I’m on board with HENCE and GIRVIN but I honestly think its going to be an upset this year
Alas, worth mentioning as much as it breaks my heart … post position 17 (Irish War Cry in 2017) has never, ever produced a winner of the Kentucky Derby. The best result was in 1988 when Forty Niner took 2nd. More recently the best effort was just 4th place in 2005 with Gary Stevens aboard Don’t Get Mad, who won just the week prior in the Derby Hopeful.

I’d put win tickets on Always Dreaming and Irish War Cry and for grins a box exacta on Sonneteer and Battle of Midway 
There is a reason I have not created an account on TVG or any other online wagering site 
Glimmer, saw that comment yesterday that no winner has come out of PP 17. Maybe IWC will be the first

The Puppy Predictors go with McCraken and so will I. And hard to resist anything with a Kansas connection.

Someone was talking about names earlier, I read the Irap is named after the treatment product. The story went that the horse was shipped and his paperwork had IRAP on it because he’d been treated it the shipper gave that as his name when he arrived. The owner was amused and kept it.
Since he’s a Tiznow I have to cheer for him - hopes he pulls off a surprise upset!
Seems live streaming is unavailable 
It is on regular TV here, NBC?
I can’t believe Patch has been bet down to 12-1! A lot of sentimental bettors.
Thank you!
I like a 7/17 exacta box. Girvin/Irish War Cry.
But also have to bet on Fast and Accurate - Channing Hill won a fantastic race with my guy at Belmont many moons ago. Would love to see him with a Derby win some day.
Guess i’ll bet my non existent money on the maryland horse, IWC… Boy, track looks sticky…
wow, McCracken is a pretty guy

I wasn’t by a tv LOL
What happened with ThunderSnow? Did he just have a meltdown, or did he get hurt?
Always dreaming won the race. Thundersnow won the undercard saddle bronc competition.
