Old Colonel E. R. Bradley, who bred and owned four Derby winners, was a great horseman and a big gambler. He had a saying that has stayed with me for many years in handicapping distance races.

"Give me a horse who can do the last two furlongs in .24."

It's not a bad guide. I'll be working over the PP's today with that in mind and give my fearless--or foolish--selections for later ridicule before post time.

Of course, Derby Day happens to be my wife's birthday so there'll be a throwaway exacta and super contribution.
