Any fancies for the derby lads? Looks to be wide open. Will be interesting to see how New Approach goes!

[jaykay]

I think how New Approach goes will depend on the handicapper, what will he do with him?  If I was to guess I'd say he'll hedge his bets and put him in somewhere in the middle of the field, personally I wont be backing him.  I'm not sure he'll get the trip 
Interesting to see that Murtagh has opted to partner King of Rome

Handicappers in the Derby, jaysus christ it isn't that bad of a race.  Plus, Murtagh wouldn't have been offerred the ride anyway seeing as though he rides for O'Brien not Bolger!

What won it last year? I might back that.

It's been a long time since anyone did a Derby two-in-a-row.

excuse me if i'm wrong but is the derby not for 3-year-olds only therefore meaning a horse can't run in it twice. #

Authorised won it last year at even money with frankie dittorri on board for his first derby win in 12 attempts i think

Derby now being managed by Bertie Ahern who has landed the big job in sport he talked about when booted out of he left government.
Has decreed that dead horses and owners of dead horses are welcome.
De ting is dat de horse may be dead or m-may not or not be known if he d-died or de owner may have died or if he didn't den dat's not de answer and de derby was confidential so it was and de horses didnt want to disclose dey were in it if dey were and de winnings was all sterling round sums and I gave bet to de bookie and he gave me it back and dere is no record or betting slip as we are friends and de whole ting coulddnt be simpler...

[Bud Wiser]

I can cover for Bertie, I gave him four solid tips one day when he was going to England and he won eight grande.
