Mint Julep

SOB picks for the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby. Drink a mint julep today and be somebody.

Benny
Pick: Pyro
Analysis: Ignore his last effort in the Bluegrass over the synthetic surface at Keeneland. He’s back on conventional dirt today and should be closing like a mo-fo. Besides, I had his grandsire, AP Indy, in the ’92 Derby. He was scratched the morning of the race, so I jumped on the Azeri bandwagon. That overlay may still be running down the stretch. Then I picked his sire, Pulpit, five years later. He finished fourth and suffered a career-ending injury. Third time’s a charm.

Issac
Pick: Big Brown
Analysis: That was my nickname in college.

Crowe Dog
Pick: Gayego
Analysis: That is my nickname today.

Abby
Pick: Cowboy Cal
Analysis: I was wondering where all the cowboys had gone.

Dani-girl
Pick: Big Truck
Analysis: Never mind… I read the name wrong.

Sheila E.
Pick: Denis of Cork
Analysis: Dennis is my boyfriend’s name… and he loves to cork me.

Tom
Pick: Smooth Air
Analysis: He’s the #12 horse, and that’s the same number of girls I’ve slept with. Wink.

And here comes pride up the backstretch. Heartache is going to the inside.
