WOW....I was initially thinking about the Derby itself but you're so right...letting Little Mike waltz round the track like they did brought the loudest bitching in my house on Sat....The DERBY GODS have a BIG REACH on Derby Day even spilling over to the undercard

Im sorry but, the Derby Gods (so called bad luck) is different than a jock stealing a race on the lead because 3 other pinheads let him.
It's apples vs oranges.

The funny part is that one of those pinheads did the exact same thing on Get Stormy in the 2011 running of the Woodford.

Jockeys are far and away the biggest reason I can't bring myself to bet anymore.

If they did away with them, I'd start betting again.

you mean the Horse or the Doctor ?

I was referring to the doctor more than the horse...however, the derby gods don't discriminate between the two
