So several weeks ago I looked at the possible field, and settled on 5 horses to keep my eye on - Pyro, Big Brown, Fierce Wind, Elysium Fields and Georgie Boy. Now that we are actually one day from the Derby 2 of those horses (the first 2) are in the race, and indeed they are 2 of the 3 favorites. Between the two I'd put money on Big Brown. No offense to Pyro who's still a nice horse, but Derby winners don't come in 10th in their final preps. So at this point I'm not really thinking Pyro has much of a shot. Who do I have my eye on? Big Brown and Colonel John of course, plus Z Fortune, Gayego and Recapturetheglory. And since the horse with the best work often wins I suppose Denis of Cork should be thrown into the mix.
