Other years, other Derby lists.....

[blackthroatedwind]

Phil.....if you liked Editor's Note you cashed as he was an entry with the winner I believe.

You reminded me....I liked Pine Bluff the year he lost as well.

[booner]

Check these out (this is embarassing as hell).........

2004 - Tapit and Imperialism
2005 - Sun King
2006 - Lawyer Ron
2007 - Great Hunter

This year, I'm just gonna pick a horse with a name I like. It surely can't get much worse..........

I was a HUGE Wilko supporter in the Derby. He didn't run a bad one, but he didn't run a big one either.

And I was very high on Notional last year before he was taken off the trail.

You are correct, he was... but I think it was one of those phases where I was all about exotic bets and I know for sure I didn't have Cavonnier because some jamoke convinced me a gelding couldn't win the Derby (and I was stupid enough to listen)... so I'm sure I didn't cash a ticket. Regardless, I didn't have Grindstone anywhere in my top 5 for sure.

I really like Afleet Alex but I loved, loved Closing Arguement. I just loved the fact that he hit the board in all of his races and was dead game. While it wasnt on this board, on the other board that I was posting on at the time, I made them sick of hearing his name. And freaking Giamaco, cost me the tri AND super. I didnt have him in the 1st spot, only 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I did make money because I had C.A. across the board, and my bestfriend, who was a first time bettor, became a horse racing fan for life as C.A. was racing to the finish line. But boy, the tri and super would have been, in TVG speak, "A Life Changing Payoff". Did I mention freaking Giamaco......hehe But I was happy for Mike Smith.

Why didnt you like Holy Bull!?

He had won with two huge biases in a row and I thought the race was all wrong for him. I was a fan, and thought he couldn't lose the Met Mile a few later, but I hated him in the Derby.

Obviously, in retrospect, I was probably wrong and got lucky. But, Go for Gin had been way against the track in his two previous races.

If anyone was going to beat Holy Bull that day I figured it would be Brocco.. I was pretty surprised when Go For Gin came out on top...

He ain't that old! The gray hair is a dye for ratings appeal to the females aged 45-75 crowd on the youbet.com show

In real life Andy is actually a fun, entertaining, and nice person. I know that doesn't always appear that way on here.

Yeah, I know. I was just giving him a hard time....and I think he is plenty "fun" and "entertaining" on here.


But he's still old.

I can back you up on this one.....you may have been his first fan.

[horseofcourse]

The Derby winners I selected correctly were Pleasant Colony, Sunny's Halo, Alysheba, and Strike the Gold. I'm in a bit of a dry spell!! Some of my more memorable miscues were Master David...Buddy Gil...Sweetnorthernsaint...Curlin...Private Emblem....Risen Star...Afleet Alex...Alydar...Jaklin Klugman....Easy Goer etc....I cant' remember every single year however. I just know I haven't been right since Strike the Gold.
