    For a longish shot, I like #5, Hold Me Back.
    There's no value in favorites usually in this race especially with a 20 Horsie field.

    #12 General Quarters is another potential longshot with a chance.

    Bourbon, Sugar, and Mint over crushed ice. It's a little taste of heaven.

    When I was a kid, my mom and her best friends always had a noisy party with mint juleps when it was Kentucky Derby time.

    But, we lived in San Francisco so we had to watch the horses on TV. :)

    it was actually a fucking no-brainer......

    EVERYTHING was pointing to Borel winning the DERBY(i know it sounds silly at 50-1)

    My first Derby winner!!! Total f-ing luck too...had to be b/c no reading into the situation would have led me to pick that horse. I called my sis in New York state and asked her to go to a OTB store and put in $5 on the 5 who was sort of the darkhorse favorite, but then I figured I'd toss in a real longshot for the fun of it. My style on those is nothing higher than a PP than 10, and it better bring you money, PLUS my sister when she was like 5 would try to creep up on birds and try to get them to land on her finger and the horse had bird in its name. So basically my pick reasoning was no better than the no-nothing who wins an NCAA bracket b/c they like the team mascots/colors/names. Still $250 bones later is pretty sweet.
