A seemingly confident horse, but there were some other horses who underachieved {Derby favorite, Dialed In}, or just got gassed by a whisker at the wire {Shackleford}, that make this no gimme.' AK is 2-1, with the rest of the field getting good early odds. We think there are just too many hungry horses here to project a Triple Crown contender. AK and DI are adjacent to each other in the 11 and 10 positions, respectively. Shackleford from gate 5. Mucho Macho Man joins the other big boys pack in the 9th gate. BTW-the scene above is real, and never cool. Surprisingly, no horses, or the crazy drunk dude, were hurt {see link below for the bizarre story}.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVMY-VX7NyA&feature=related {Epic, hilarious, real race call when "My Wife Knows Everything" goes to the wire with "The Wife Doesn't Know." Even we couldn't make this up!!}
