The Bank of Kentucky 1Q Roundup:  “The provision for loan losses increased by $2,975,000 (195%) in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009. Contributing to this increase were higher levels of charge-offs in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, and management’s concerns over the declining housing market, falling real estate values and overall deteriorating economic conditions. The Company recorded $4,046,000 in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to $682,000 in the first quarter of 2009. The Company’s non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.91% as of March 31, 2010, as compared to .84% as of March 31, 2009, and the annualized net charge-offs to average loans increased from .27% in the first quarter of 2009 to 1.41% in the first quarter of 2010.”

Might we see a Triple Crown winner this year? Let’s hope so. Good luck to Super Saver and Calvin Borel. Although, Icebox came on very strong there at the end, so it’s anyone race.

Well, I got 3 out of the four right, but just not in the right order.  Congrats to Super Saver and Calvin Borel.  What a great run.  With the weather being the worst I have seen, I thought the Derby run was just great, fabulous day to be a Kentuckian.

How about you?  Did you pick the winner?

Here’s my pick for a straight superfecta ticket:  1. Super Saver; 2. Make Music for Me; 3. Devil May Care; 4. Paddy O’Prada.

Do you have a Derby favorite this year?
