Derby Post Position Draw - First Reaction

Some initial post position draw thoughts:

1) LeRoy Neiman and Todd Pletcher, together at last!
2) The 'homemade' signs - how authentic!
3) Nice to see Visionaire in post 8.
4) Big Brown in 20 - no thanks.
5) The wind! The wind hates the draw!
6) I'm liking the middle of the pack a lot.
7) Big Truck is a longer price than Anak Nakal or Z Humor? Huh?
8) I presume UPS is enjoying all this free publicity.

Check back later for some actual handicapping...

Yup, yup, yup - I see it the same. Can't play the chalk from the 20 hole with all the other speed right next to him.

Pyro and the Colonel got wonderful draws. I'm not counting Eight Belles or Monba out either.

oops - meant to say - nice notice about Big Truck compared to Anak Nakal and Z Humor.

Anak Nakal and Z Humor are to me the two weakest of the field by far.

Big Truck's done nothing to deserve that disrespect.
