A lot of horses this year. I'm liking My Boy Jack. I've read he's the most experienced of the field

I think Justify has the best chance to win.

I like Free Drop Billy because he'll drop a grogan the size of his jockey before the race to run a net neutral race.

Combatant has the right trainer, pretty steep odds though.

Winning and/or accumulating points from Grade 1 races throughout the season.

FLAMEAWAY is the perfect name for a horse owned by TexAgs!

The favorite at post time has won the last 5 races. This is an unmatched streak since 1895.

Since 1882, no horse has won the Derby w/out racing as a 2 year old. Mangum Moon & Justify both meet the criteria this year.

Since 1930, post position 5 has won more races than any other starting position. (Audible)

No foreign born horse has won the Derby since 1983. Flameaway is from Canada.

We can't even fix a horse's bones

We can fix the bones just fine, it's the ligaments and tendons that give us trouble.

Are any of them mudders? Or have a mother that was a mudder?

I Like that stat. Noticed it when I was looking over the last 10 winners starting post position.

Trump is imposing tariffs on Canadian horses requiring them to carry jockeys who way 25% more. Making America Great Again!

Also, horses whose name starts with the letter "A" have won more races than any other letter in the alphabet (11.5%). Another good indicator for Audible.

what's the ratio of the total number of horses with names that start with A to the total number of horses with names that start with other letters that competed in the data set?

I still haven't made my final choice but if I had to choose right now, I'd pick Mendelssohn.

Vino Rosso
Good Magic
Justify
Flame Away
Audible

All my favorites so far. I always like to see them on race day before I pick my 3 favorites.

Nine of the 18 winners since 2000 broke from gate 13 or higher.

Since 1882, no horse has won the Derby if he didn't race as a 2 yr old. The current fav at 3-1 is Justify, who didn't race as a 2 yr old.

The current forecast is for a very muddy Friday. Clear on Saturday.

The point being that the auxilliary gate can also produce 50% of the winners. It is not a handicap.

Audible, my boy jack, justify, and Mendelssohn. One of these horses will win the derby. Thinking about boxing them

It wouldn't be Derby if it weren't raining. If this keeps up, it'll be a sloppy track for the 12th race.

Obligatory...

Johnny Weir makes this broadcast cringeworthy.

Pulling for Mendelssohn and Hofburg for the names.
