Two afterthoughts in the derby get to pick first for post position. Meanwhile Curlin, AGS, Great Hunter get the worst positions.

[Dr. K]

Yep nashua, the last 5-6 to pick will probably be hung way on the outside or pinned on the rail, while some that won't have a prayer get the prime spots.

[nashua]

I wonder if Hard Spun wants to be on the inside or outside of Teuflesburg?

[Dr. K]

I would think probably just to his outside, unless they're gunnin' from the get-go. Been trying to rate him a little, so we'll see.

I can hear the sound byte of the toilet flushing taking with it my KD future wager on GH. bh)

[nashua]

I think the 1 post will be available for GH. Nobody wants it but it might work out. That last race probably made him stronger.

[cashcall]

The Racing Gods have been tough on GH for the past few weeks & this has to be the climax...gulp!Agree his last made him all the tougher.Just watching his last workouts he looks ready to peak physically.

[FastG45]

If the track is set up like Breeders Cup Day, those first three holes could be rocket spots.

The 3 contenders you mentioned did get the worst of it.gah;

[nashua]

I think Curlin is commited to going out early but Hard Spun is still the controlling speed. Too bad for GH, but you never know

[Dr. K]

Curlin had better go to the front, or he'll have a wall of horses to go around. Don't like him ........ regardless of post.
