Kentucky Derby Picks

Here are my picks for the Kentucky Derby.

I'm taking Lawyer Ron, Brother Derek and Sinister Minister in a $20 trifecta box. I'm not too confident in this play because of the post positions for Lawyer Ron and Brother Derek, however, it also happens to be the exact same picks as Eric's Dad and that gives me cause for hope.

I am also taking both Sinister Minister (12-1) and Sharp Humor (20-1) to show. I'm hoping that either one of those horses finishes in the money and allows me to double the money I invested in my bets.

A horse that I think could cause some noise and finish third is Showing Up out of the sixth gate. He's ridden by Velasquez and with a name like showing up - he's almost destined to run third.
