Who will be crushing the odds on your favorite horse?
 

An unscientific look at which sectors of the general population will be pouring heaps of money on your derby horse

The biggest bankroll this year may come from the Irish, who have Lookin' at Lucky, Paddy O'Prado and Dublin to drool over.

Looking at Lucky –Optomistrists, lephrachans
Ice Box – appliance delivery guys, Alaskans
Noble’s Promise – Historians, scholars
Super Saver – Comic Book geeks
Line of David – Anyone married to, related to or named David, Ike and Dawn Thrash
Stately Victor – Politicians, Young and the Restless fans
American Lion – Patriots, Zoologists, Detroit Lions fans (all 12 of them)
Dean’s Kitten – Cat Lovers, Anyone married to, related to or named Dean, North Carolina college basketball fans, Ken Ramsey
Make Music for Me – Musicians, Symphony conductors, Band Camp instructors
Paddy O’Prado – Irish catholics, Notre Dame fans
Devil May Care – Satan, James Bond fans
Conveyance – Physics majors
Jackson Bend – Micheal Jackson fans, Wyoming residents
Mission Impazible – Tom Cruise, Peter Graves fans, Spelling Bee losers
Discreetly Mine – People who have extra-marital affairs, Joey Greco
Awesome Act – Circ De Solei performers, theater goers
Dublin – More degenerate irish gamblers, Bono
Backtalk – Nobody. You'll get 80-1.
Homeboy Kris – Hip Hop fans, anyone named Chris or Kristine, Flavor Flav

Funny stuff! I especially liked the "Spelling Bee losers" and "Nobody". I am concerned, though, that you know that much about "Young and Restless".

I'd add the following to your excellent summary:

Paddy O'Prado - Art History buffs.
Line of David - Jews

Also, the Devil May Care/Paddy O'Prado exacta may be hit hard by fans of The Devil Wears Prada and/or Meryl Streep.

stately victor newman is my wifes bet. very funny good job

I'm a Detroit Lions fan, and I'm not touching American Lion with a 30 foot pole.

Excellent additions. I probably should have done a little more research before throwing this up there, but it's the though that counts.

I take issue with attaching Dean's Kitten to Chapel Hill. The poor horse did nothing to deserve that association.

:tro:

:D

is Sydney's Candy out of the race?

diabetics are at a loss

Ahhh..good point. Looks like he fell off. Can't think if anything clever for him, anyway.
