Your 2006 Derby Day Picks…

I like Steppenwolfer, although the value has cut in half since Tuesday when I really liked Steppenwolfer, and should collapse to the 10-12 range at least by close today. On a hunch I also like Showing Up -- although it's that kind of like where you can see the horse finishing 3-5 or 19-20. There are so many favorites going off in the high single digits if you like those horses it seems like there may be added value in boxing up some exactas and trifectas.

Also, remember if you go to your track today to check the jockey's record if you bet any races; there can sometimes be a greater disparity between the skill and experience level of jockeys at the local and regional level than you're likely to see at Churchill.
