Since I know almost next to nothing about Thoroughbred racing, I let my cats make the following picks:

1st Pick	Buetane
2nd Pick	Steel
3rd Pick	Minorinconvenience

Good luck, everyone!

I just bet $2.00 to win on Buetane and a one-dollar exacta box of my three selections.

Not only are my picks subject to ridicule, but by financially backing those picks, my sanity can be taken into question.

I have rarely been this wrong in a race hahaha.

But I do not think we've seen the KY Derby winner in this Wood Memorial.

So Happy was a strong winner in the Santa Anita Derby

My three picks were nearly the last three in the final results.  I sure know how to pick them!  You can make bank by simply throwing out any of my selections in the future. 

You're welcome!

        2. Talk to Me Jimmy

        5. Ocelli

        7. Albus

Bombs away. Don't like any of the favorites. Ocelli is a maiden, still like him. The 8 Courting they paid 5 million for. Seems like he has a 5 million dollar pedigree and a .10 cent head. He does the strangest things. The 1 seems sketchy, the 13 drew bad, and why is Baffert here? $1.00 ex box 257. .50 tri box 257. 1.00tri key 2-57. 4.00 win on Ocelli.  15.00 worth of fun. hehehe.
