Oh Dear! It's Derby Day!

Well, well. I clearly did not win the Kentucky Oaks *sigh* And now who to pick for the Kentucky Derby... hmmmhmm... I like Orb, he was my top choice when I went through the top leaderboard in March, but I have also admitted being a sucker for undefeated horses-- like say Verrazano? But clearly that did not work out for me in the Oaks >:/

 So, considering my indecision, instead of posting my top three picks, I'll give you my top five! In... somewhat of an order...

Orb

You have to admit, he's been impressive! He's on a four race winning and again he can probably get the distance.

Verrazano

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH I know, still a sucker. Hopefully he won't run himself out chasing the speed and can get the distance. Some people think he's reached his peak in the Wood Memorial.

Revolutionary

He's fast, very fast, but he might burn himself out with early speed. On the other hand, that speed should help him from getting trapped on the rail.

Will Take Charge

Frankly, I think it's in his blood. Some are questioning his ability to get the distance.

Oxbow

Apparently he was one of my favorites in the leaderboard. He's super fast and should have the stamina.

 Rose's favorite Black Onyx is already out :(
