Welcome to Horse Racing Nation’s Kentucky Derby Daily, which will each day leading up to the May 5 race at Churchill Downs detail all the news and notes related to contenders in one convenient space.
First: Thank you for following along. We've covered just about every angle possible leading up to the 2018 Kentucky Derby in this space with at least one post every 24 hours for 120-plus days.
Here's to hoping this afternoon's race lives up to the hype.
Now, let's talk Derby.
What's your top win pick? How are you going to wager on this year's Run for the Roses? Any questions we can answer?
Leading up to the main event at 6:46 p.m. ET, I'll be perusing the comments here to chat about anything and everything.
And, just to get things started...
A ticket for your thoughts
I'm admittedly all over the place on this Derby. Do not like to pick the favorite, as I've chased similar prices to that of I'll Have Another in 2012, my last big score. But the top choices have burned me every year since 2013. Time to play a Derby where if the favorite wins, I win.
Here's what a group of friends thinking as far as a Superfecta ticket. I'd like to add Instilled Regard. They may be inclined to disregard.
