Thread: 134th Kentucky Derby!!!!

I just put some money on the Derby...

I got (Trifecta):
Big Brown
ZFortune
Pyro


I also put money on ZFortune to win it all.

I'm about to call my grandpa he is a horse racing guru who used to own a few horses of his own that went on to some good success. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge about it, has been following it since the 40's so he really knows his stuff.

A couple years ago I picked Birdstone to win the Belmont and steal the triple crown from...Smarty Jones? I think that's who it was. Before that I picked Afleet Alex to pick up the first two of the Triple Crown, he ended up taking the last two. That's about the amount of success I have had. I never pick the chalk as that is just no fun so no Big Brown, no Pyro I'm picking Court Vision to pick up his first win as a 3 year old and how bout Bob Black Jack to make it close going down the stretch with Big Brown showing.

I'll call my grandpa and ask him to box those off for me and he'll say that's nice and then tell me how stupid that is. B

I just got 2 more bets in.

I put some on Pyro to win.
I also put another bet on Eight Bells to win.

OK, I need to throw my credit cards away or else I'm gonna loose all my money here...

Was REALLY tempted to put some up on Court Vision but took Eight Bells instead.

Bo Dereks at the Derby...


Still would...

He liked my picks.

He has Dennis of Cork as winnign I forget the rest of his ticket.

As a betting man, i would drop a few on Monba, and Tale of Akati to show. As for who will win- The pace is going to be fast, which will favor Big Brown, but does he have the stamina? If the pace isn't extremely fast, Colonel John has a good chance, he looks like he can run down almost anyone. Well, Monba for the upset.

I've got Recapturetheglory in an office pool.....we drew names out of a hat so that's what I got. I would have picked Pyro to win if given the opportunity

Good call on Colonel John.

The track has been reported as Fast.

Well I just phoned my picks in to my grandpa. OK, so $2 on Court Vision to win then got $3 on Court Vision, Bob Black Jack, Big Brown

I'd put big bank on a field horse to win....you know after like the 12th gate all the horses are grouped together and if one of them wins (the favorite Big Brown is in the 20th gate) then you win.


I like Pyro and all but the field is big and the favorite is out there

Me 2.

He could do it, but I'm just not sold on Pyro. But, it's anyone's race.

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta love the Derby.
