Race? What race?

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

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.
