Who you got?

You guys all suck.

I'm going for Paddy O'Prado, or whatever the name is. He's an Iowa horse. First time in 20 years a horse from Iowa is in it. Otherwise I'm going for Homeboykris because that's the funniest name.

haha sorry, given the track condition and the fact I havent looked at any of the racing forms, Im not really going to make a prediction.

 

Given the track condition I would venture to say that a dark horse could be a good pick.

 

This will be the worst track conditions I can remember.

I'll take Pie-O-My

Great reference.

I'll take Super Saver.

Did the winning jockey just call the reporter woman "sweetie"?

Great reference.

 

Only cool people, like us, will get it.

That's what you get for taking a girl.

Went to the OTB in the morning and the wife won the exacta on the race! It helped pay for all of the UC beers needed during that hockey game.

Last horse I bet on in the derby was shot on the track. Luckily i was watching it from the hot tub at the topless pool at the Mandalay. Didnt matter as much at that point.

Since I had to go back to 2010, I'm guessing there's not much interest here, but this race is kinda a big deal where I live. Anybody else paying attention?

I love the Derby. I watch it every year. I'm hoping that next year will be the year I can make it down there. I'll probably place a few bets on it tomorrow as well.

My favorite thing about the derby is the stretch all by the announcer. It is one of my favorite things in sports.

This isn't from the Derby, but it is a rather interesting stretch call:

 

Just to be a jackass I will say this is the one sporting event I couldn't care less about it.

I didn't either until I moved to within 15 miles of Churchill Downs.

I'll be at arlington for the festivities.

I've bet the triple crown races against my dad every year for 30+ years. It started as a $2/race bet, and it hasn't changed much.

 

We usually each pick 2 horses for this race. If none win, we let it ride. I picked Dortmund and Upstart.

Go Carpe Diem!!!

I've grown to love Derby day... My lady graduated from SIU with an equine science degree, so she's all about the ponies. I like small time gambling so it works out.

 

I've also never won anything on horse racing, but one of these years...

Bob Baffert seems like a major horse's ass

I had American Pharaoh, Dortmund and Frosted (4th) in a trifecta box. So close!

Had four horses boxed in a $1 trifecta. Hit it, but the 1-2-3 finish combo paid the second lowest of the 24 possible combinations we had. $101 is the lowest a $1 Derby trifecta has paid in several years.
