Kentucky Derby Must Use...

[pezz97]

Since Tross started the Throwout thread, I will start the Must use Thread


#1.  Verazzano- Rocknroll's horse since he made his debut and I am not go ing to go against him ever. Has done nothing wrong and has looked good at Churchill

#2 Orb- Johnny V had a great spring as he had the choice of both of these. Shug has another Derby threat here and Get's Joel who is the hottest Jock in the Country.

#3 Revolutionary- Get's the master of Churchill in Bo-rail. and has had all sorts of trouble in most of his races. Getting better and has already won with the worst type of trips which you will need in the derby.

These will be the 3 I use bigger in my pick 3's and 4's. And they will key my ex tri and super. I really think Pletcher get's derby #2

im not sure if these are in your preferred sequence or not but i agree with including them in the batch to be used.
i will wait to after pp's are drawn for final piks.
i am not sold on verazzano yet but have to consider an undefeated horse.my ? is if there more than what we have seen so far ? need to see him over the cd surface.
imo nornandy's invasion is a must use as he showed a big move last out.

For me it's Verrazano, Orb, Revolutionary, Normandy Invasion, and Itsmyluckyday.

How can you not use a horse named Itsmyluckyday in the Derby?

Problem is, many will bet on lucky because of his name. knocking down the odds!!

That horse Orb works with is a maiden with 6 lifetime starts and has hit the board just 1 time.

For some reason, perhaps cigar-related, I keep coming back to Black Onyx as an "on the ticket" horse.

There is always some horse that ends up on the ticket that is on a lot of people's toss list.

Now my box is up to 6 horses!   

KENTUCKY DERBY UPDATE – THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2013

BLACK ONYX – Sterling Racing’s Black Onyx galloped 1 ½ miles during the Derby and Oaks session while under regular exercise rider Aurelio Gomez. Trainer Kelly Breen was concerned that with the largest throng of morning onlookers yet his Spiral Stakes (Grade III) winner might finally get fazed by all the attention. Turned out, there was nothing to worry about.

“He jogged along the outside fence like those people have been there every day of his life,” Breen said. “His attitude around here is so laid-back. Things could be a lot worse going in here. You could have a high-anxiety horse that’ll be in that one post for a long time, but he’s been soaking it in. He’s just laid back, like it’s his fourth Kentucky Derby.”

Breen is the one who will be represented in his fourth Kentucky Derby but that experience hasn’t helped to calm the nerves. The trainer joked that whatever his mellow horse has been taking, he could use some it himself.

And yet, with all there is to worry about the week of the world’s most famous horse race, Breen refuses to lose sleep over Black Onyx’s post draw. Post No. 1 has come to be accepted as the most dreaded, even though it has produced eight winners, tied for second-most behind the 10-hole (nine winners). If the rail was good enough for Derby winners like War Admiral, Citation, Needles and, most recently, Ferdinand, then perhaps having the right horse is what really matters.

“It might not be an ideal post but I think we have a game plan,” Breen said. “The horse is doing well and horses have won from the one-post before. It has happened. It doesn’t concern me as much as you would think.

“There are things I’m seeing form the horse that have me at ease. You could have a super-nervous horse that’s anxious to go and you’re going to have to try to throttle him down. You’re going to have 150,000 people and this horse here, he’s like, it’s old hat.”

Those are the other 2 I am going to use. I can't see anybody else

The horse that Verrazano has been working with was Authenticity, the very game winner in the grade 2 La Troienne. Nice payer today at $12.20!!
