Boy, what a race! Ten of the 13 are, or were, on my Derby watch list! I'd say that the person who hits this exacta or tri will be smiling all the way to the bank! What would be your picks?

My pick is Indygo Mountain. I'm willing to forgive that last race, and I think he might offer a bit of value.

After nailing the Hutcheson with a fairly chalky exacta, I'm going for a BIG price here.
I really like Summer's Empire who has turned it around big time with the addition of lasix and the move to dirt. He has proved he can close into a very slow pace or lay off it and come with a rush and his pedigree suggests he should continue to get better the longer they go. I'm willing to chalk up the slow fig in his last on him not liking the sealed track or a bounce (or maybe a bit of both), bottom line he still won it though. I think he will run big here.
I will put him on top of Indygo Mountain who had a rough go of it last time, Giant Oak and Fresian Fire who both seem pretty logical. In the tri I will also toss in Uno Mas and Dumar, who Brigemo left UM to ride.
good luck all
