It was hard to decide who to pull for...
I liked Friesan Fire since Larry Jones was also the trainer of 8 Bells and because he said he is retiring after this year. Then I liked General Quarters since Thomas MacCarthy is from Louisville and is a one man show (owner, trainer, etc) and its his only Derby. I also liked that Kent Desmoreaux was riding Hold Me Back.
I ended up betting on those three and put a $2 across the board bet on Mine That Bird since Calvin Borel had been winning all weekend and he won the Kentucky Oaks the day before. But if Dunkirk hadn't of slipped at the beginning I think he would have won.
