Derby winner?

For those of you who are also Derby fans, are you like me?

Star-divide

Every year, I am kinda generally aware of Derby contenders through the spring, hearing about winner of the various prep races, etc.  Then, the week before Derby, the CJ does profiles of every horse, and each horse sounds like the physical equal to Secretariat with a heart-warming story to match Seabiscuit.  Just this morning, Big Brown, Colonel John and a horse that wasn't even supposed to be in it all seem like they should be 2-1 favorites.  

Anyway, all of that is to say: Who does everyone like?  I'm impressionable.  

Mike, are you doing a preview for Derby?

Super
Right now I'm trying to figure out the last 2 horses for my superfecta.  Last year I was 1 horse away from hitting it (damn you Hard Spun!) so I'm hoping to hit it this year.

My 2 definites:  Colonel John and Pyro

for the last 2 I'm trying to decide between:

Court Vision
Gayego
Visionaire
Big Brown
Bob Black Jack

Alot will depend on the draw tomorrow night.

Go Cards!

Colonel John looks like a stud, and its hard not to put some money down on Robby Albarado...doesnt even matter what horse hes riding, but its cork of denis

Yeah
I'm leaning hard toward Visionaire right now as the third.  I was thinking hard about Gyego as the 4th but I haven't decided yet.
Go Cards!

Pyro
But even before the fourth race is over I'll be the poor soul, roaming the grounds, bending and upturning discarded parimutuel tickets cause my wad was shot on a sure thing parlay that didn't even get a call.

I like
Big Brown to win it and the filly to come in 2nd then die.
You win some, you lose some but you never stop trying to do your best.
