Didn't think I'd get Epicenter or Taiba so late in the draft, ended up with both somehow. If neither win the Derby, we probably won't see them in the Preakness or Belmont, so that could be an issue. They went third and fourth, respectively, in the first round of the In the Money podcast draft.

I would've taken Skippy in the third round had he lasted. Really hope he's running somewhere Derby weekend.

I thought you Dogs both came out smelling like roses somehow.

I resemble that statement. (d)

Exactly my thinking.....were I them, I wouldn't rush things to get ready for the TC races.....Travers, Haskell, BC will be attractive enough, especially allowing for the necessary prep work.  I am predicting the Pat Day Mile for one or both of them....may be a very competitive race

Love a Road to the derby contest in January......it will include a lot more horses to choose, and waaay more whiffs!

Kavod is going in that one, I believe.  Kinda excited about that.  He's a really nice horse. 

It's going to be a great race.....I often look to that race for help in handicapping the Derby

Nobody picked Summer is Tomorrow.

Racing Gods will now put him in 

Derby winner Rich Strike was one of three runners left undrafted (Summer is Tomorrow and Happy Jack the others), taking 10 points off the board.

Thinking about a possible Preakness field, everyone looks somewhat probable to have at least one runner in there.

Standings after the Derby:

Cubs - 4

Dogs - 2
