Mikey, I don't think Classic Empire is such great value in a 20 horse field at 5-1, he may go off as post time favorite and will need some luck to stay out of traffic and get the good trip as would whoever wins. I think other horses have much better value. McCraken has a big chance I think may go off at 10-1, and I also think many others are intriguing. I will include Classic Empire in all exotics and of course I think he could win, but I don't see the value here at all.

I think Always Dreaming, Classic Empire, and Irish War Cry are a cut above the rest. To me the derby isn't as wide open as many believe.
Girvin and Gunnevera have a shot if the pace melts down, but the horse to beat is Always Dreaming. I'm so glad I pulled the trigger on 30/1 future on him before the Florida Derby because if he gets a good post, breaks clean and gets a good position around the first turn its gonna be EXTREMELY difficult to beat this horse.
