the line up as of this morning is some twenty horses all told, a veritable cavalry charge.
Today's ponies are raised up as better speedsters but don't have the stamina to grab off the Triple Crown...this robs the run for the roses of some of it's excitement IMHO.
This also makes it difficult to find an eager mid-carder to lay some long green upon, although occasionally an utter mediocrity like Giacomo can seize the day like a champ.
All that aside, I'm leaning towards Barbaro as of 3pm EST, but that can change.
By way of disclosure, I should not I haven't picked a Kentcuky Derby winner in ten years.
But 2006 could be different, ya never know.
