I've got a new column about the Kentucky Derby and what it means for your status as a die-hard sports fan up on FOXSports.com right now.Now, it's time to break out the green and red ink pens and track down the videos from the Derby preps on-line. Once I do that and they draw for post positions tomorrow, we can finally start handicapping.
That said, I've got a couple of early favorites. Street Sense has shown some heart and Great Hunter has the potential to do it, but he's been spotty.
Nevertheless, I'll at least put something down on Great Hunter simply because it reminds me of the good doctor and Kentucky Colonel, Hunter S. Thompson. Reading his article, The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, should be as much a part of your Derby preparation as buying fresh mint.
And if you're still feeling literary after that, check out Stephen Dobyn's poem, Kentucky Derby Day, Belfast, Maine. I hate poetry, but I love that one.

Likely Millionaire's Row. I've got a seat right between Rick Pitino and Kid Rock.
