Brother Derek and Lawyer Ron are the favorites, but you'll see, i'm very good with horses, barbaro will beat them both ....for all you who will wager, stay away from the two favorites as they will not show, look for a longershot to place alongside barbaro.

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.
