Kentucky Derby Picks! I am staying with my early picks, but Hot Rod Charlie and Essential Quality are neck and neck. Another horse to watch is Midnight Bourbon ridden by Mike Smith. Derby Day is Saturday May 1. What are your picks? Feel free to comment. (I picked the first 3 last year, but I doubt I can do it twice in a row. I am just a poor ole country boy)
Win—Hot Rod Charlie
Place—Essential Quality
Show—Rock Your World
