Have a good and safe trip to Vegas and bring home some bacon..

The derby winner I'm still kicking myself over was Thundergulch, but the race that really had me cussin' was the 2002 Belmont Stakes. I'm the genius that had Medaglia D'Oro over Sarava in a cold exacta. Can't complain too much about MDO though. He ran 2nd in the 2003 BC Classic to Pleasantly Perfect and I managed to have the tri. I guess we all have our tales of hits and near hits which adds to the fun, I think?
