I'm convinced it will be Scat Daddy---

1. Me too.

He is one of those horses that goes out and gets the job done without a lot
of flash - but he is always there when it counts.

2. OJ Simpson says Tiago.

Alert Cat Woman!

4. Damn that name of his

Or maybe I just have an overactive, dirty imagination. But the Daddy'll be right there running at the end.

I'm leaning toward Street Sense, barring any great reports on Nobiz today and tomorrow. After those two, it's probably the Daddy, Hard Spun, Dominican and Curlin for me.

And here's why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB6NdbRDVkQ ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWm_o9o6TbU

5. It seems to me Scat improved from 2006 to 2007

and Street did not... mho

6. The Blue Grass was weird

I think all of the top contenders have improved in their own way but I can't tell how much until they run it Satuday. You're right on Scat Daddy - he looks like he's been tested this spring and passed, showing some mettle down there in Florida ... but will it be enough? About the Blue Grass, Randy Moss pointed out Teuflesberg came out wide and actually impeded Street Sense in the stretch and knocked him onto the wrong lead nearing the wire, so I'm going to give him a little pass for the result. All that said, he lost by just a bob. Still, it proved he's no wonder horse ... yet.

We'll see - gonna be a freaky good race, I think.

Heck, I may still choose Nobiz.

7. I gotta say it's one of the best fields in years

Curlin scares the crap out of me because his 3 career races have been cakewalks. Nobiz and Street definitely have the goods.

I'm hanging with Scat and will bet him across the board, box him in the Exacta with the field, and--- throw 50 on him to win the whole enchilada. I do admit though---my win record for the last couple of Derbys is non-existent...lol
