That said, my personal first memory of Genuine Risk is that I had double digit money across the board on her in her Kentucky Derby win. I don't bet "across the board" anymore, but in that instance it worked out pretty well.


I'm very sorry to hear of her passing, but very happy to realize she lived across four decades.

yeah, she was double digit odds-13-1 i think. not only was she the first filly to win the derby in decades, she was the first to make the attempt in about 20 years. her seconds in the preakness and belmont were dammed good too--i always felt she'd have won in md had the race been cleanly run.
