Derby Post Position Draw - First Reaction

Some initial post position draw thoughts: 1) LeRoy Neiman and Todd Pletcher, together at last! 2) The 'homemade' signs - how authentic! 3) Nice to see Visionaire in post 8. 4) Big Brown in 20 - no thanks. 5) The wind! The wind hates the draw! 6) I'm liking the middle of the pack a lot. 7...

While it's Derby Works a Go-Go at the moment for the 3-year-olds, there's plenty of actual racing action going on beyond that sphere. In the 'comeback' column, first noted at Brooklyn Backstretch , 2005 Preakness runner-up/tripper Scrappy T recently raced at Penn National, getting up...
