The time is at hand to finally see who’s the best three-year old in the land. And then the next day, they’ll run the KY Derby. (rim shot please) For bragging rights (or shame if their horse finishes last), here’s our top Derby picks: LOOKIN AT LUCKY – Geno, Carly, Rob, Jessica, Brian A. AMERICAN [...]

Down to the Nitty Gritty, Derby Dozen Volume VI Isn’t Too . . . Shabby

Right now the WirePlayers Derby Dozen is a two horse race between west coast-based LOOKIN AT LUCKY and east coaster ESKENDEREYA. Charging hard is ODYSSEUS, who joins AWESOME ACT and NOBLE’S PROMISE in the second tier. Saturday’s Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby will prove if “Lucky” and “Esky” are truly the dominant contenders our [...]

After spending two weeks in second place behind ESKENDEREYA after the previous poll, LOOKIN AT LUCKY reasserted his dominance over the WirePlayers Derby Dozen. Although he only beat NOBLE’S PROMISE by a whisker, you can argue LUCKY’s victory was more impressive than ESKENDEREYA’s romp in the Fountain of Youth.   LUCKY got jostled on the [...]

Loaded down with insights like a lead balloon, here’s Volume II of the WirePlayers Derby Dozen. Despite the similar title, this isn’t a low-rent rip-off of Steve Haskin’s “Derby Dozen”. Although Haskin does a fine job, we’ve assembled a diverse collection of ten bloggers, twitterers, and horseplayers from around the country to weigh in on [...]

The KY Derby prep season starts in earnest today with two graded stakes – the Holy Bull at Gulfstream and the Lecomte at the Fair Grounds. These races are vitally important to owners and trainers trying to get enough graded stakes earnings to make it Louisville.  For handicappers looking to cash a big ticket on [...]

Don’t Run, We Got Derby Dozen Volume I

An eclectic group of bloggers and twitterers (or tweeters?) got together to rank their top 12 Kentucky Derby contenders. It’s kind of like an AP poll except that, since we’re opinionated, we added our two cents in a comments section. As the prep season progresses we’ll vote every two weeks until the Derby. Here’s results [...]
