Interesting Developments

[dylbert]

This thread has taken many twists and turns...

1) Exotic foods -- alligator is king!

2) Syn only horse will not win Kentucky Derby.

3) Blue Grass top three finishers more likely to finish 18th, 19th and last on May 2 than one-two-three.

4) Terrain is clunk up horse. Is there Super High Pick 5 for Derby? If so, I may wheel him in 5 hole! (Not really, but sounds logical tonight)

5) Friesan Fire is better than many folks believe. Is he Derby winner? Don't know... I saw his Risen Star and Louisiana Derby victories. He handles his competition well and just wins. I am convinced that some horses just don't know how to, or want to, win.

6) Yes (agreeing with BTW) -- Kentucky Derby is not the game. I am still more pleased with $96 Santa Anita maiden winner I had several years ago than any Derby winner (and I had War Emblem and Funny Cide).

7) The discussion will remain lively until they spring the latch in Louisville. Then, two minutes later, we will all know the answer. I will suggest that we will see another Giacomo (or two) before we see another Triple Crown winner.

Laissez les bon temp rouler! And, please make your wagers early to avoid getting shut out at the windows...
