Race? What race?

I went to ten derbys in a row once. Never saw the race.

Yeah, my 5 year old daughter managed to pick the winner too.

yeah, but did she make a fortune off the race

Nope, only $5 from each person in the pool... which is a fortune to a 5yo I guess, so yeah. The bragging rights are much more valuable though.
I assume you did win big though, whip - congrats!

thanks jinx, yeah it was good... i'm happy for the young one, she has instinct.
i've already lost 2 thirds of my winnings in the past two days on the oilers the senators and some stupid baseball bets ;p, so my joy has been short lived.

i won't bet on another race until dubai.

blessed be jinx

they're going to race again!

I've watching some of the early races on ESPN. The track looks really wet. A couple of the races were in the mud, some were on the grass in-field. I have no idea why. Maybe the crapy horses get to run in the mud.

I picked Desert Party but I think Ripley's pick, Pioneer of the Nile will win it.

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".

Have you ever beheld a Stately Wang?

No but I'm sure its owner finds it to be most admirable.

Using UT's logic, Jackson Bend sounds like a good choice. Can I pick that one to place? For show I'll take Dean's Kitten, because kittens are always darling!

For expediency:

Win: Backtalk
Place: Jackson Bend
Show: Dean's Kitten

And Paddy has a good jockey.

I'm gouing with Conveyance because UT thinks it's horrible :lol:

Stately Victor to win place or show. With a name like that how can he lose? ;)

Ice Box, Super Saver, and Paddy O'Prado for the trifecta box.

I picked Super Saver to be in the money. because I was really impressed with Calvin Bo-rail's super upset victory at last year's Derby on Mine That Bird.

1. Sidney’s Candy (Joe Talamo)
2. Stately Victor (Alan Garcia)
3. Discreetly Mine (Javier Castellano)

I saw video of another one that must've been scratched - Eskendereya. I would've picked him to win.

so who won? some jerk off customer has commandeered our tv to watch Obama speak or some fucking shit.

Super Saver. Calvin does it again, same kind of really patient race that showed he read the track and knew his horse.

Outstanding.

Although I was really hoping for Noble's Promise because of the awesome story.

nice picks, dude. None of them are really good wang names, though....

I give you the winning trifecta, and all you got is dick on your mind. Where's the gratitude? Where's the praise? Where's the... "DNR, you mad fucking genius, I'll never doubt you again"? :biggrinpi

that is high praise from me. Now shorten your user name and I'll consider further praise.

I should change my name to please you??? You got a better chance at winning the lottery...

or the derby.... :lol:

Heh. My wife had the sports section and I asked her "who won?" I though she said "Super Saber" and I was really impressed at how much of a wang name that was. We had a short painful conversation where I was explaining the whole Cellar wang name theory before she corrected me and said it was "Super Saver" not "Super Saber." A real Emily Litella moment. Never mind.
