Horses wanted their dap.

Horse racing isn't even a sport.

 

There, i gave this thread the power to last.

I wanted Brother Derek to win since that's my name. Can't say I'm too upset though, haha.

Eventhough Barbaro was 6-1 the payouts were still insane. 11K for the tri and 54K for the super....I was at the OTB in Oakbrook and saw a winner for each of those. The kid that one 54K was crying next to his buddies.

 

I unfortunately had the 8-X-2....just no 13....why couldnt 5-10 or 11 get second??

Horse racing isn't even a sport.

I wouldn't agree with that.

 

I'd like to see you ride a horse like those guys do.

 

I'd say it's safe to say there is athleticism and skill involved.

 

That being said, this is one of my favorite days of the year because I won't have to hear about the damn Derby locally for quite a while now. I hate the damn race and all of the hassle it brings around here as far as traffic goes.

I went down to Hot Springs, Arkansas and saw some horse racing about 6 years ago. I thought it was going to be boring but I actually loved watching it.

I actually watched it. My pick was Showing Up who actually finished quite well (I think at the start of the race he was like 25-1).

 

In an unrelated and probably inappropriate note: those jockeys are soooooo little!

There is no better call in professional sports than the homestretch call for the Derby. Period.

I can't disagree. It's the most exciting 2 minutes in sports.

Very good horse may be able to pull the triple crown off, We shall see.

NO DOUBT!
