Top of the morning!...great day for racing...I'm getting a full dose of "Kentucky" today ....first I plan on winning some money on the derby, then I'm going to see Kentucky's finest, Sturgill Simpson, live in concert. After that, I hope to see Paquiao lay down a Kentucky-sized butt whuppin' on Mayweather. I feel blessed.

I am going with my gut here and my gut has been known to be wrong (see my last season NFL picks...lol) but my pick for the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands is...

MUBTAAHIJ

Despite all of his negitives, the travel over from Dubia, running without PEDs (Lasix), change of diet, the timeformUS guys saying he can't keep pace,etc. I have a win and place bet on him. I also have a 1/2 unit place and show on FROSTED.

I have a few super/trifectas with dort, mub, frost, firing line, ap.

This may sound wingnut-crazy but I think Far Right could get a piece if he can keep up with the pack early, ...but I have no bets on him yet...

Good luck today!

Far Right, can't help but love that name. I am watching a little from home right now. Frosted being the grey horse, I have to love that one a lot. Best of luck to you today. Be sure to do the mint julep too*. Old Forrester is the official Kentucky Derby bourbon this year. A sweet minty bourbon snow cone. Gotta love it. It even reminds you to bet on Frosted . ^_^

I’d feel better about Far Right if he had the jockey from Tencendur...Manuel FRANCO! I’d consider that a lucky omen. Lol.
