Will you bet or have a favorite in the Kentucky Derby race on Saturday?

I've watched it for years but I'm not a gambler or better. I know nothing about horse racing and pick a horse to cheer for purely based on the name or the colors of the silks. Back in 2019 right after I separated from my husband a coworker invited me to go to the local off-track betting parlor to have a mint julep and place our bets. I forget which horse I bet on but I do remember that the drink was good, my crazy coworker was wearing a fascinator for the occasion (that's just her), and my $2 bet won $4. I never bothered to return to cash it in. Anyway this year there is a whole new batch of 3 year olds. Like I said I know nothing about horses so I select my favorites based on names and colors. The horse called Render Judgement is one of the ones who came from Toby Keith's horse farm. I like his music (though not his politics) so of course I would put a bet on that horse. I haven't seen the jockey's silks yet so I haven't chosen a horse yet based on that. (I will though) I won't be going to the OTB place on Saturday because, well, it doesn't exist any longer. I won't be placing an online bet because the last time I tried to do that I failed and failed and failed. So I will likely just watch the race, cheer for the horses that I like, and cross my fingers that none of them falter. Ironically the massive favorite for this race is a horse called "Journalism". I hope it wins because you just know that will piss off Trump. "This horse is the enemy of the people!"
