Another year with no Triple Crown contender as both Kentucky Derby winner Super Savor and Preakness winner Lookin at Lucky are not running.

The current 8-5 favorite is Ice Box was IMO the best horse in the Derby but had a AWFUL trip, could not find a way through. And when he finally did it was too late, he still finished second.

First Dude is currently 7-2 coming off a second place finish at the Preakness. Couldn't hold off Lucky at the end.

My picks are:

Ice Box

First Dude

Spangled Star

Stately Victor

and

Uptowncharlybrown

Yea I love horse racing.

Live about an 15 minutes away from Arlington Park in Arlington Heights, IL.

Usually there once every week. Bet on the races at home or head to the OTB.

DTV offers a channel called TVG, which is a horse racing channel, so it's pretty easy to keep up with news. Plus there are numerous web-sites.

As for why....I just love the sport. To me it's the most exciting 2 minutes in all of sports, no matter what race it is.

Plus I have a HUUUUUUUUUGE gambling problem.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
