Uncle Mo is iffy. Todd won't make a decision until Saturday. I forgot to take a link, but I've seen it on another forum. Try BH.

so let's say mo doesn't go. does that mean we have AE's or are we just going to run 19 starters this year?

They do not use AEs in the Derby, if Mo is out we will run with 19.

that would make me hate pletcher even more and I didn't think that was possible.

Sway Away and Ruler On Ice are the two entries that have been excluded based on earnings.

that's why. sway away is a legit derby horse. would be pissed if he gets left out because of a douche bag owner posturing

horses that have absolutely no shot in hell to win

Brilliant Speed
Stay Thirsty
Decisive Moment
Comma to The Top
Derby Kitten
Twinspired
Master of Hounds
Santiva
Watch Me Go

if any of those horses above beats you, damnit it's just not your day. for various reasons, pedigrees, distance limitations, and just playing sucking the joint up, they are all tosses

horses that should not win but i can't completely toss out

Archarcharch - that post is that damn brutal, if he beats me he just beats me, but there is a reason no one wants the 1 slot

Shackleford
Twice the Appeal

horses that would not surprise me if they won, but i won't be using

Pants on Fire
Dialed In
Soldat
Uncle Mo

Legit contenders

Mucho Macho Man
Midnight Interlude
Animal Kingdom
Nehro

I have went out of m y way NOT to watch pursuit of the crown this year, I get to over thinking things because I watch too much. but leaning hard towards midnight interlude. I think there is a reason bob b had no qualms about scratching his other 2 horses.
