The 136th Kentucky Derby has been characterized as the fasted two minutes in sports and it can only compare to The Masters in its old-fashioned style and glamour that rest deep in our hearts.
But as the ladies put on their spring hats the lines line up in Vegas to to gamblers take their chances with horseracing. And although I'm not the betting type the first Saturday in May always brings out the Charles Barkley in me.
So here goes nothing...
1. Paddy O'Prado
In the sketchy racing conditions today it is going to be a tough day for racing and an experienced jockey will have to be on top of their game. Kent Desormeaux takes the roses in the mud.
2. Super Saver
Todd Pletcher and Calvin Borel may make a dynamic team to win the Derby. But I think the streak continues as he loses by a hair.
3. Devil May Care.
Just another Todd Pletcher horse in the Derby. He may be the best trainer of all time, but the Jim Kelly of horseracing comes close again but just doens't close the deal.
The Kentucky Derby continues to be one of my all-time favorite sporting events to watch. There is just something that resonates in me that makes me giddy as they race at Churchill Downs.
