Friesan Fire to win the Derby with I Want Revenge 2nd or to win if Friesan Fire is scratched.

Bred to run all day. Same trainer as ill-fated Eight Belles in last year's Derby who plans to retire from training at year's end.

Key the 6 horse 1st, 2nd and 3rd with the 11, 13, 16 and 19 in trifecta part wheels.

Friesan Fire has a tightly spaced, impessively strong series of breezing works since crushing horses with a chilly ride in the sloppy LA-derby.

Friesan Fire has been dominant since adding blinkers. All his races have been on dirt with a bullet drill over Curchill Downs surface on Monday.

Friesan Fire will be our Big Play for the Kentucky Derby. He was an impressive winner in his last and will move forward as this colt can really run. Lots of class here and he will be tough to beat.

Dunkirk

Exacta part wheel: Dunkirk and I Want Revenge over Pioneer of The Nile and Desert Party. #13 and 15 over #13,15,16 and 19.

Huge stretch runner. Was compromised in the Florida Derby by a track so fast that 3 track records were set that day. Should be unbeaten.

Dunkirk appears the most talented to me of this field.

Musket Man (20-1) has won 5 of 6 starts on 4 different tracks. With probable off-track conditions and a 20 horse field, good value wager.

Churchill Downs offers a 50 Cent Trifecta and a 10 cent Superfecta wager allowing for multiple combinations for either bet without making a big investment.

Sensational since switch to Joe Talamo and synthetic to dirt. He has outstanding in G3 Gotham win and phenomenal G1 Wood. Gliding in brilliant Churchill workouts.

I Want Revenge and Friesan Fire should both get ideal trips against an average Derby pace scenario and will form major share of our exacta plays with DUNKIRK rounding out our top 3.

Super Value Win Bet Musket Man won the G2 Illinois Derby by 2 lengths in a classic powerful big win style. Worked bullet 6F - 4/18.

The Derby is about value. In a 20 horse field, longshots and small wagers are the way to go. We're calling this a three horse race between MUSKET MAN (20/1), PAPA CLEM (20/1) and I WANT REVENGE (3/1).

Three time derby winner Bob Baffert trains Pioneerof The Nile, who has already beaten 4 of these, including the favorite. Don`t overlook SA Derby winner.

Advice = Best of the many closers, probable odds dictate the choice 3 days out (I usually pick the night before). Very tough race this year.

Godolphin Stable may finally have it's Derby winner. Trainer Saed Bin Suroor has this horse ready for the 1 and 1/4 mile test. At 20 to 1 this is the best bet.
