I don't know a lot about these horses, but my picks this year are Dunkirk and Papa Clem. Anyone else have a pick?

Where is my mint julip?
You know,that I was just telling someone that I have NEVER picked the
Derby winner,and coming from Louisville..thats alot of misses.
I think my problem is that I pick the 'prettiest' horse
And I agree with what someone else said..wheres my Mint Julep?
Enjoy your Derby Day, Wise

I have picked some winners, but I'm not much of a better.
Can't help with the mint juleps though. Now give me a bourbon ball or bourbon sauce on some yummy dessert, then you'll have my interest.

Okay,I never pick the right one but here we go again - I like General Quarters
Chocolate Candy. Hold Me Back is also "pretty"
Now watch they will come in last
They are some of the favorites, so you may have a winner in that group.
Cindy likes General Quarters and Desert Party.

Pioneer of the Nile is a closer, which could be the ticket for win today.
Tbone, I'll take a hamburger; my wife is the steak eater in our family.

The biggest concern I have is the sloppy track. I always worry about injuries because it is just too unpredictable.

Yes, I'm always concerned when there are some many horses on a sloppy track. It hasn't rained for quite a while today so maybe the track won't be too bad (fingers crossed).

General quarters for me too.
My longshot and the prettiest horse = Mr Hot Stuff #3. Mike's favorite = Chocolate Candy #11, Hold em Back = #5 and Dunkirk = #15.
The Derby is a 'bucket list' and I was there to see my pick #3 win many moons ago...such fun and I still have about 15 of those mint julip glasses.

Well, that was underwhelming.
Congrats to Mine That Bird anyway!

It seems like Mine That Bird was the only horse who knew he was in a race. The rest rode like they were on a Sunday stroll.
It's all about 'heart' and Mind That Bird had a heart of gold.. I love the story behind the horse, owners, trainer and rider. They ain't no shiek, but they're smellin' them thar roses.
Yeah see how all the drugs and high tech treatment can turn against
them- simplicity is best it seems.
I love seeing the underdog win,especially in such a spectacular manner.

Me, too. I was so busy watching the three horses close together because the horse I liked was there. I blinked and Mine That Bird was 6 lengths in front of them.
