Biggest wrong: Not putting a line through the Bluegrass race...it made me believe that Dominican & Zanjero were on par with Street Sense when they weren't. Major mistake.
Another wrong: Hard Spun. I let the connections scare me off & it almost burned me (I'm a win bettor)...reminded me of when I didn't bet Xtra Heat & almost got burned there as well. Live & (hopefully) learn next time. Nice job by Hard Spun & Pino.

I was wrong, sort of, on Scat. I don't think the foot problems had anything to do with a poor performance, but I was wrong about the distance issues. He was sitting pretty early, but tired out.
I, too, was wrong about Curlin. Nice performance. I was also wrong about and screwed arounf too long on getting my money into the WinTicket Pick 6 players pool. A $10 investment paid out $82 and change. Would have done better with my money there than on Scat Daddy. Still a great day. I knew whrn Calvin shot to the rail that he was going to be in the race, and when he made his move on the backstretch, I knew he would win... ALostTexan

Completely wrong about Hard Spun. Had him in my top 5, but thought he might get cooked. Fully expected Stormello and No Biz to be the pace setters. Fairly right about some other things, but the worse thing I was wrong about was that I had 3 of the 4 races right in the pick 4, but lost by singling Pussycat Doll, the 1-1 fave and here is the truly horrendously stupid thing about that. I had a win and place ticket on Hysterical Lady, the horse that won that race. (have mercy on me Mr. BTW and Hooves. I promise not to ever do it again!!!). Only cost me $4700, but it's only money, right? Even so, I had a great day. Is there anything like the derby to get your blood pumping?

Wrong about Cowtown Cat
Right to draw a line through the Blue Grass for all parties, right to play the lynchpin angles of my handicapping life (third off the layoff, win over the track, and recent sharp work over the surface) and pick the logical Street Sense, right about Hard Spun and Curlin. Might fold the tent and call it a year for wagering

Right about Street And Calvin. I knew he would win!!
Right about Scat Daddy and that bar shoe,freaking Pletcher!' Wrong about Curlin, thought his 3 starts and trip would get him. Wrong about Hard Spun, he wasnt even on my radar. Right about Rated Fiesty Wrong about AGS/Cowtown Cat lighting the board Very, Very, Very right to throw my whole Derby money on Street and Calvin....$100 on the nose. I just couldnt figure out tri/supers so I said to heck with it. All I ever bet on the Derby is $100, anything more than that is to rich for my blood.

I want to say I was right about Curlin. But he didn't win or run second so officially, I was wrong.
Wrong about Circular Quay. Thought he'd do better. Wrong about Street Sense. I won't ever doubt this horse again. Right about Teuflesberg. But then, wasn't everyone except Sanders? Sort of right about Curlin and Hard Spun. Had them as two of my top four and they finished in the top three. Right about two preps, long layoffs, BC Jinxes, inexperience, etc being negatives. This is a different game than in the past and the same angles that were important then don't mean as much now. Talent is the great equalizer. Always.

I would add to my earlier post, that I was wrong when I thought that the eighth beer of the afternoon was a good idea.
Terribly wrong.

I will tell you who was very wrong..... Jamie Sanders the trainer for Tuefsburg!! That hair and sun glasses on the biggest racing day of her life, in front of millions was WRONG,WRONG,WRONG!!! Good lordy, orange roots, and crunchy dry white ends, and cheap dollar store sunglasses.
 Horrible. I know what its like to have to get a horse ready,and looking fancy isnt what is the most important thing, but its the Derby!!
