2008 Kentucky Derby Picks

• Exacta Box:  Col. John, Big Brown, and Gayego

Put the most cash on this box, obviously rooting for Gayego to bump one of the favorites.

And for some real price plays:

• Gayego to win

• Recapturetheglory across the board

• Several superfecta combinations of Col. John, Big Brown, Gayego, and Monba

Although it wasn’t a Grade 1 race, really like Gayego coming off his win at the Arkansas Derby, where he beat out Z Fortune, recorded a 103 Beyer, and successfully made the transition to a dirt surface.  Whether or not he can go the distance is a concern.

Pyro was my most noteworthy omission. . .Polytrack or not, his lousy performance in the Blue Grass scared me away.
