Kentucky Derby Picks



Tomorrow the Kentucky Derby is on, which, along with the Preakness and the Belmont make up horse racing's Triple Crown. I'm not a big horse guy or anything like that but I find those two minutes absolutely fascinating.

The Derby post time is 6:04 PM Eastern Time tomorrow. Take a few moments and watch it, won't you? You will find yourself absolutely mesmerized by how exciting it all can be. Everything from watching the horses get into the starting gates to that frantic dangerous opening all the way to the end: awesome.

A few days ago I asked the Monkeys to send me their Kentucky Derby picks. Few did (something I will address another time), but I wanted to print those who did, and there will be prizes for the winners. If you want to play along leave your picks in the Comments BEFORE race time.
