KY Derby Order of Finish

[Sightseek]

If you read the chart, all of Pletcher's non-winners did the best they could to make another runner not do well.

Ice Box & Lookin At Lucky both could have been the winner with better trips. Noble's Promise hasn't figured out yet that he's only supposed to be a sprinter. Tough horse.

Glad Pletcher finally got his winner though!

noble's promise is a tough horse, better than i gave him credit for...but i figured one of the 'big names' would falter, should have gone with sidney's candy to run badly (i'm sure it was that first name that got that horse!!).

on to pimlico!!


how soon, btw, before someone posts this horse is sure to end the tc drought?! need to start another contest!

Bad news: Derby day is over. Good news: Only 364 days til the next one!

Out of curiosity, what's the earliest Derby contest or future wager?

Just got back from AC for the race. Originally watching it I had no idea Ice Box's trip was as bad as it was...I was able to see LAL get crushed into the first turn and knew that was bad. Poor guy. What job by Borel. People got paid at the wedding the funeral for him!...I think we can all hope for a fast track next year.
