I bet a $2 exacta box on Super Saver, Stately Victor, Mission Impazible, Awesome Act and Paddy O'Prado. Ice Box snuck up and ruined everything for me. I also dutched with $20 wins on Stately Victor and Mission Impazible. Pffft.
My brother, on the other hand, who refuses to learn how to even read the goddamned PPs and just picks horses out of the air based on his own system of one of the favorites with some middle-odds horses and a few bombs, boxed five horses in a $.50 tri and brought home $584 and change on his lone Derby bet.
On a day like today, with a wide-open field of 20 in the slop, I'm not sure his system is any worse than those of us who handicap and bull$hit ourselves into believing we have a handle on it.
Ah, but I'm still happy for him...
