I know you don't redboard but, and I'll say this very quietly, considering you told me your tri days ago I'd love the other two as well (a little bit anyway).

Nice horse, awesome picks. Good for you!

Let's hope he has a breathalyzer test in a couple of minutes. That was special.

The thing with Kent D., and many other jocks, that always baffled me, is that they seem incapable of learning from their same old tired mistakes.

I saw that coming a mile away, literally.

You were watching the race in HD with 3 camera angles, while I agree they seem to make the same mistakes a lot, its a little unfair saying you saw it coming like sleepy should have as well.

I was watching it through the Internet with a crappy feed.

I see this all the time. Five horse fields and some pinhead almost always seems to fail to anticipate getting trapped on the rail.

It's not like this was the Ky Derby with 20 horses dude.

Yeah - and the KY Derby is when they all leave the rail wide open for fear of getting trapped.

The last year that they ran a KY Derby with a 24 horse field - the longshot winner came right up the fence and you could have driven a semi up the rail.

Good point.

It's laughable how many short fields get the fave or second choice trapped on the rail.
