Omaha Beach out has to secretly have the Maximum Security camp dancing for joy. I'm still wondering what was up with that 16K sales tag in his first race. I can't get over that. And we never heard an explanation from his camp on why they were willing to sell him so cheap. He is one of my top picks.
This gives War Of Will a good chance for a cleaner break and should add to the early speed, That will be more competition for Master Security. Maybe changing my mind on him being my second choice,
Still sticking with By My Standards for the win and I'll hope he at least hits this board. I love the fact he's moving over to the number 4 post.
Probable exacta box with Tacitus, hoping he can keep finding a way to weave out of trouble. Big plus for his experience doing that!
Game Winner - Why is Baffert still tinkering with him now? Plus, he seems that he has an attitude problem which I do not like.
Pretty sure no Derby horse has ever won without winning a major prep race since the point system was put in place...
Went with Game Winner. I feel like Baffert was prepping him a bit and he’s going to launch in this one. The other other Baffert horse Improbable on the top too on most of mine. Baffert has prepped him like he did with Pharoah and Justifiy (same races). I passed on Roadster. I’ll let him try to beat me
Vekoma and Max Security tempting and they had great times but that aren’t hanging with the big dogs here
Tacitus scares me but the Wood prep rarely pulls derby winners. I put him underneath though.
I used War, Tax, BMS (you convinced me), Cutting Humor and Spinoffs as my underneath plays. I don’t think anyone of them can win but maybe they get a 3rd or 4th.
Sticking with my top pick - By My Standards. Hope he at least gets a check...
He has an excellent to win it all but it's apparent I am in the minority with that opinion. Small jump forward and getting the distance is all it will take. Not much to ask, is it?
A lot of talent in this field...
Heading to Laurel Park in about 3 hours where I will bet and watch. I live about 20 minutes south...
Good luck to all you guys, I hope you win some $$$! Maximum Security is taking all the early money, he had some kind of workout this morning (why?). If he runs out of gas, you'll know the reason.

I can't bet this Derby, too confusing.
Thanks!
Tough to say why he is taking so much money.
The string of the favorites winning this the last 6 years in a row ends today.
No way did Maximum Security get a workout today. What he likely got was some exercise, or out for a gallop.
Very interesting on what you reported.
There will be more speed in this race then some think. Closing the one hole is going to make a big difference in the pace. I think with the extra room on the rail War Of Will leads at the half mile mark. Possible he could take that lead a long way. We'll see how far. Maximum Security never had company on the lead before. He's getting it today...
