But I would have to continue on by saying that last year's Triple Crown races were about the most difficult to handicap in many years. I'm afraid that on the first Sat. in May this year you may have a favorite that closes at better than 7-2 on the tote board and picking this year's winner might just be a real problem. Remains to be seen, but playing sentimentally this year might be as good a pick as trying to disect all of the p/p's and other handicapping material. Good luck. Perhaps someone wants to start a poll between now and May 5th to see what TOTV's posters think and their ultimate selection.

Kind of hard to do a poll with 20 horses in the Kentucky Derby. Not sure when they finalize the field either?
