Toby's Corner Out of Derby

This changes everything. My pick, Toby's corner, came up lame yesterday and is no longer entered in the Derby. Who is, you might ask? Well, as of yesterday at 6:00 pm, the field looked like this:

UPDATED: The current Top 20 (+2) Graded Earnings (from Kentucky Derby.com) now looks like this:

1-Uncle Mo
2-Dialed In
3-Archarcharch
4-Comma to the Top
5-Pants On Fire
6-Midnight Interlude
7-Soldat
8-Brilliant Speed
9-Master of Hounds (IRE)
10-Twice the Appeal
11-Nehro
12-Mucho Macho Man
13-Decisive Moment
14-Animal Kingdom
15-Stay Thirsty
16-Santiva
17-Watch Me Go
18-Shackelford
19-Twinspired
20-Derby Kitten

21-Mr. Commons
22-Sway Away

The post positions will be drawn today so we will finally know who will actually be running in this wide-open event.

So now I must reconsider. I am liking Animal Kingdom, Master of the Hounds--coming off the turf, which is always a good thing, and there is a lot of buzz about Shackleford, who is apparently giving the Clydesdales a run for their money because of his size.

And don't forget Uncle Mo or Soldat who are both contenders. I am not feeling the Mucho Macho Man vibes or those around Dialed In, who is apparently the best looking horse in the field. Archarcharch has many fans and Rosie Napravnik, who rode Nicanor at Delaware Park, is on Pants on Fire.

Obviously I need to rethink this entire adventure. What about you?
