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

TheMercenary · 05-02-2009, 05:32 PM

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

jinx · 05-02-2009, 06:09 PM

Spencer won $50. The little jerk...

Clodfobble · 05-03-2009, 01:33 PM

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

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.

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.

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?
