I like several of these horses, but in the end it's all about Hunter for me :D

The post draw is tomorrow at 5pm Eastern time on ESPN2. I can't wait! Although I picked Curlin as my top favorite, I really like Hard Spun, Cowtown Cat, Scat Daddy, and one that I haven't heard anyone talk about, Slew's Tizzy, who is my sentimental favorite.

As of April 26, Slew's Tizzy <a href='http://www.ntra.com/content.aspx?type=news&id=24939' target='_blank'>wasn't running in the Derby.</a>

Which may explain why much hasn't been said about him. His connections are pointing him towards the Preakness.

For those of you who don't know, Xchanger and the brilliant Cobalt Blue are OUT, I'mawildandcrazyguy and Tueflesburg (I totally got that spelling on the first try, go me) are IN.

Personally, I would have liked to see Cobalt Blue and Tueflesburg in and the other two out but that's just me.

Love Cobalt Blue! And I really like the fact that his owner was all "don't run him in the Derby for the sake of running him in the Derby". I gather that's not something you hear all the time.

Durn... these past two weeks KentuckyDerby.com has had Slew's Tizzy as a contender. Oh well for my sentimental favorite.

Curlin is not winning this race from somewhere around 1-3 or 19-20. Nobody has ever won the race from 19 and nobody has won the race from 20 since 1929.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that. If he ends up way outside, that's going to be all kinds of trouble.
