Kentucky Derby 2009 Contenders - Who Will It Be?

This year's three year olds are magnificent, so who will it be?

Sorry if I missed any other horses....

It's amazing how unpredictable it is, for example, I was initially hoping for The Pamplemousse, Stardom Bound, Old Fashioned -- but none of them will be in the mix. :-(

Thanks for watching!!!

Can't wait for the big day.

Earlier this year it seemed like the derby was going to be amazing, but all the favorites are out of the derby. I want revenge, quality road, square eddie, and the pamplemouse all top contenders. Not to mention Rachel Alexandra should have ran in the derby because the oaks was a walk in the park.

[buggamalone]

I agree 100%.

I am disbelief that all the favorites are now out (except Friesan Fire) :-(

Rachel Alexandra should have ran in the KD.

Chocolate Candy, Friesan Fire, Pioneer of the Nile. Chocolate Candy--long, leggy and reminds me of Bernardini.  Nice job!

[buggamalone]

Thanks! Yeah, I like Chocolate Candy too! I'm sure him (with Mike Smith on the mount) would do great in the Derby...maybe another Giacomo-like upset??

50-1 for mine that bird

[Ilovenathangregg1]

Dunkirk is my favorite i was hoping he would win it but he kind of got stuck in the middle. :(

[JJohse]

Do you MIND That Bird? Congrats!!!

[PosyMommy]

I really wanted Friesan Fire to win!

[Susie369]

I honestly can't believe, that with odds 40-1, Mine the Bird won. Unbelievable.
