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.

My father and I were watching that race from Laurel and we decided since I already had undervalued futures on Closing Argument and he had Giacamo and Alex futures we made a small tri and exacta backer with Bellamy Road on top of those three. Never considered even an exacta box with them.

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.

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.
