Speed Could be key in Derby

Desert Party may be tough to get past in here. Depends how far Join in the Dance can go and keep up a quick pace. I just can't see someone closing on this track today.

Winner will probably be up close most of the way. I'm totally tossing out Dunkirk, Mr. Hot Stuff, Chocolate Candy and Hold me Back... Great horses, but NOT today.

Moving up Papa Clem, Musket Man, Regal Ransom and General Quarters.


Friesian Fire is my Choice

A.P. Indy colt on wet surface going a mile and quarter on a track that favors his running style. He's rightfully the favorite and will be tough. Larry Jones deserves one.
