2005 (the first Derby I ever bet)
I had 10 Win-Place on Giacomo... Had Giacomo and Alex on all tri tickets....no Closing Argument. 2006 I made a bundle tying up English Channel and Barbaro in multi's. 2007 Made the Biggest win bet I had ever made (at that point) on Street Sense...($200) also had small exacta w/ Hard Spun. Would have made over 8k if Brilliant stays up over Sky Conqueror. In the Woodford Reserve the race b4 the derby. 2008 I keyed Big Brown on top and paired him with Denis of Cork in tri's & Supers....but I didn't like 8 Belles at all...cashed nothing. 2009 I was thrown into a tailspin like every one else when the 2 big horses were scratched...I played Hold Me Back......which has lead me to be Prez of the Kent Dedumbeaux fan club. |

I will only say with authority I did not toss MTB last year. After the late scratch of IWR just did a PON/all box. Where is geeker? He had the tri.

You messed up. Skip Away was 2nd in the Preakness and Belmont, not the Kentucky Derby.
I think you meant to put Cavonnier. |

I had a pretty good run of horses hitting the board at one point, didn't I? Lost a lot of concentration AK (after kids). But Skip Away was the best horse in the race; he just hated Churchill.
