OK. So here's my top contenders for the Kentucky Derby later today:

1. Gemologist (unbeaten and brilliant, held off Alpha stubbornly in winning the Wood Memorial)
2. Bodemeister (would Bob Baffert run a horse named after his son in the Derby if he wasn't great?)
3. Hansen (his owner is nuts -- horse's tail dyed blue before Bluegrass -- but the near-white colt is really good and good looking)
4. Union Rags (battle tested, very strong)

Top longshot: Trinniberg (bred by Saugerties' J M Stables, should be on lead early, but distance a concern)

Happy betting!!!
