Ok, I am tired of this pseudo-red-carpet-hand glading. When's the damm race?

heh. 50:1 Mine That Bird. Someone got really rich.

Spencer won $50. The little jerk...

I don't follow this stuff, but doesn't this make several years in a row that a longshot underdog won the race?

My ex was over at the time of the race (see rant about DVD/DVR) and had been suckered into a drawing, where he had drawn Pioneer of the Nile. Not a bad bet. So, when the race was on, I thought he might win some money. Then, out of nowhere except the inside lane, came Mine That Bird. It was so exciting. I've been to Lexington, and it's beautiful, and I loved it that a 50-1 horse rocked it.

I keep waiting for somebody to name their horse 'Stupid Ass Name.'

The only problem, of course, is that no one would know which horse you were talking about.

Giacomo won at 50-1 a few years ago... but the/a favorite has won more often than not in the past several years (Big Brown, Barbaro, Smarty Jones etc), and they used to say the favorite never wins.

I like Ice Box .....just cuz he looks dirty.

I picked Lookin at lucky over Conveyance after a struggle. Sidneys candy and Awesome act look good...

His mudder was a mudder!

Paddy O'Prado is gorgeous, but I'm going to go by name and my pick is:

Backtalk!

5. Line of David (Rafael Bejarano)

Horse racing is like the opposite of football, you have to pick the player with the most normal name... so I'm going with number 17, Dublin.

I suppose your brain told you that theory?

Of course, it tells me all its gambling secrets.

The winner is the one with the best nickname for a wang.

"Sidney's Candy" fine for Sidney but what about the rest of us
"Jackson Bend" a strong contender, but may turn uncomfortable
"Super Saver" terribly unfortunate...
"Looking at Lucky", doesn't quite fly, if it were just "Lucky" that would work, but...
"Conveyance" that's just horrible.

I'm going with "American Lion", with place to "Noble's Promise" and show to "Stately Victor".
