With that said Big Brown has had some GREAT works, bullets and 5 and 6 furlongs at crazy speeds but I just can't bet a speed horse in the 20th gate at the Kentucky Derby. But looking at the rest of the field, I'm not finding anyone else who really stands out. Right now I'm thinking this is a good year to bet some high odds. I'm seeing a 15-1 or better winning this race. A horse like Z Fortune or Monba.

Same thing here. If Big Brown wants to hit the board he will have to get out quick because a 20 horse field will wash you out quick. I like Monba @ 14 and 15-1. I think this is todd Pletchers year to get a winning hoerse in the derby. Also Eight Belles in post 5 is a sleeper I think. It would be cool to see a Philly win it. Her last two races were amazing.
