I know that the horse that Borel is on isn't that good. But with the horse getting the #3 position and the way he likes to hug the rail, I wouldn't bet against him. There aren't any sure things this year and 30-1 odds for the best jockey that the Derby has right now would be tempting.

Best day of the year!! Stephen Foster. Mint Julips. Sun dresses. Big hats.

Most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

LOVE IT!

Dumb question cuz I should know this, but do you currently live in Chicago or you just from here?

Whichever one it is, you've ever been down to Arlington Park?

Yea expect that 30-1 to disappear real fast. No matter where you go you are gonna get some value, I think it will end up a lot like it was last year with the favorite going off at 7-1 (not sure if that's what it was exactly).

Neither. :D Just loved the Bears since I was a wee youngin many, many moons past.

No, but I've been to several other tracks. Went to the Derby once when I lived in Kentucky.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
