Kentucky Derby Predictions

The Kentucky Derby, the first leg of the Triple Crown in horse racing, will be run later this afternoon. As a hockey fan I really should be pulling for the favorite, Nyquist, who is named after the current Detroit Red Wings right winger, but there’s not much money to be made on a 3-1 favorite. So, for those of you who are looking for a little more bang for your buck, here’s something to take a flyer on.  In this political year, there is no way to pass up Exaggerator, currently at 8-1, and box that with Destin, currently at 15-1. Now, you may say Exaggerator is easy to understand, but why Destin – well, it’s only one “y” away from Destiny, of course.  With that scientific analysis, I will leave you to enjoy a few mint juleps and the Run for the Roses. The betting window is open!
