Early KY Derby Picks

[Jake Yu]

After many hours choosing between two horses..

My final pick is Mendelssohn.

[Nini Panini]

I'm on the Audible train this year.

[Louise Bayou]

I would LOVE to see B's little brother win the Derby! My other chose is Hofburg. I'm very high on that colt. He needed the experience in the FL Derby and should improve off of it, has a wonderful trainer(who hasn't won the Derby and that is bull!) and his pedigree says he should be able to get the distance.

[Lori Hamill]

I'm going with Justify. Haven't had time to watch much racing this year but the races of his I saw were so impressive. I do like Mendelsohn, though, also.

[Jake Yu]

Nobody has chosen Good Magic which is my SECOND pick.

[Fern Thompson]

Justify!

[Lori Hamill]

Nobody has chosen Good Magic which is my SECOND pick.

I do like Good Magic but on the fence about the Derby.

[Gwayne's World]

Won't commit to a horse til the 11th hour but just giving a shout out to MAGNUM MOON!
All he does is win!

[Michael McGuire]

Noble Indy (KY)

I loved how he fought back in the homestretch to win the Louisiana Derby. He showed grit and determination, something all top racehorses need to win big races.

Justify (KY) looks like the 'Freak' of this year's crop. He is my brother's pick to win the Derby. My brain tells me to pick him, but my heart went with Noble Indy.

I would like to see either Justify (KY) or Magnum Moon (KY) break the Apollo Curse, I think they have a good shot to do so. However it turns out this year's Derby should be a good one.

[Erin Sanderson]

I would LOVE to see B's little brother win the Derby!

This ^^^ Also, it'd be neat to have O'Brian finally get his Derby, too.

As far as actual logical picks go, I have none. My sentimental faves are Mendelssohn and Bolt d'Oro.
