2011 Kentucky Derby Contenders
Okay guys the time has come and the Kentucky Derby is upon us. The first Saturday in May we have the running of the most popular race of the year. There is no clear cut favorite to be honest. I think myself that Uncle MO might have been held back a bit with his third place victory but we will know Saturday as all these horses go all out for the beginning of the Triple Crown.
Many handicappers are favoring the horse Dialed in who drew a very nice post position in number 8. Uncle MO got the not so favorable postition of 18 and looks like Pletcher could scratch Uncle MO all together due to what he says poor eating habits. Some last minute tricks after he sees the post postion here. If this horse gets scratched in the Derby I will not be a Pletcher fan waiting til the last minute and taking up a spot in the Derby.

the popular jockey and horses + newbies that are unknown some improves…
its not easier to pick which horse will win the game…
bettors will prefer not to bet on one horse only…
but they will bet a horse that will win either it’s 1st – 3rd…
