Anyway speaking of longshots , here is a fun entry called 'Beetlebaum' a cacaphonic riot by legendary Spike Jones and his City Slickers.

So you want derby racing intrigue? scandal The father of Mark Allen, co-owner of Mine That Bird,is involved in the Ted Stevens scandal up in Alaska. Check this out from the Throughbred Times:

Isn't this major upset interesting.....????

Consider how many major races we have seen with top of the line national public handicappers and they seem to all miss selecting the 20-1, 30-1 or 50-1 shots!

Kinda makes you think, hey what's happening ????

Looks like Racing is getting to compete with boxing-

Kentucky Derby 5/2:

1. Dunkirk.

2. Firesan Fire

3. Papa Clem.

--------------------------------------

I see FiresanFire and PapaClem seeting torrid fractions until the top of the stretch, and then see Dunkirk breezing down the lane to win.

I also like the chances of Friesan Fire. Class of the field, looks to be able to handle the wet track, rested, sharp 5f workout in :57 on Mon. Looks ready for top effort.

I'm betting him across the board.
