If I was placing a bet, I'd go for Pants on Fire and Rosie Napravnik.
You go, girl!  -------------------- The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.

I'm for Derby Kitten since he is bred in Lexington. My daughter is for Pants on Fire because of the name.
It's been raining so bad here, but I'm glad that it is so pretty right now for the race. -------------------- If Del Ray had their wish, Jaina and other females would be in the kitchen making uber Jedi Ben a sandwich.

"Pants on Fire" is something I've been known to say from time to time.
 They need to speed up that CG derby 'cause it's waaay to slow to really give the audience any idea what it feels like to "ride the winner". Also, there is rarely that much room between horses. It gets jammed up out there. Safe race to all. -------------------- The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.

I hope Archarcharch is okay.

He looked okay going onto the trailer. If it was a bad injury, it's unlikely they would have let him walk on like he did.
I also agree with Gary Stevens that the injury (whatever it is) looked like it happened right out of the gate. That means he ran a long way on a sore leg/foot. To have done that and not be "on three legs" is likely a good sign - unless the horse was so full of adrenalin that he wasn't fully feeling the pain at that point. Here's hoping... I hate to see them get injured. Ah - they just said a small fracture. They'll operate but Archarcharch will be okay. Good.  There was no predicting that race, though. It didn't really meet anyone's predictions. One of those wild fields. EDIT: Archarcharch has an undisplaced lateral condylar fracture - it's very close to the type of fracture I had at my ankle: the bottom outer part of his large ankle bone is sheared off (mine was on the front). They will pin it to ensure it heals straight. According to Bloodhorse.com, 70% of horses with such a fracture go back to racing after full recuperation.

That was a fun race to watch!
 Definitely a wide open field, and an exciting race from start to finish. So cool for that jockey. Glad to hear the injured horse should be okay.  -------------------- "Okay, if you're going to question the importance of an actor's signature on a plastic helmet from a movie based on a comic book, then all of our lives have no meaning." ~ The Big Bang Theory

Okay I was rooting for Rosie and Pants on Fire.
We had a Derby gathering at the house so I wasn't getting as much tv time as usual. Thanks for the info on Archarcharch. I always worry when they go in the ambulance. Does anyone else think there are too many horses in the field? I mean they are just getting beaten and banged all around. -------------------- “Bones is heading into its 7th year & there comes a point where you put up or shut up...You can’t extend that tension that long without your fans breaking." ~ Castle's creator
