No Derby thread on an MMJ board? How can that be?
I guess everyone from Louisville that's on here is at Churchill Downs. ;)
I'm picking Soldat.
How much did you lose Eric?
I had one a while ago I thought.
The horse I picked broke its leg out the gate. The others I picked to place/show didn't place/show. I counted Animal Kingdom out after reading that it was turf bred and running its first dirt race.
As you can tell, I'm not good at picking them. I typically break even at the tracks here in NJ though, which is better than my blackjack record.
i had a bottle of eagle rare riding on decisive moment but alas .. no bourbon for me. i was chatting with valerie/bluesky yesterday (she loves the races, who knew) and i really would like to go to the belmont again .. would have been a fun field trip but i think i'll be out of town that weekend.
Best thing about the Derby is PHJB's trumpet player opening the Merriweather show last year with a bang!
Scott I was thinking about that show all weekend! It was such an awesome night! Even when the two girls stood in the puke
as of now it looks like work might ruin my weekend away with phish (would need friday & monday off) and if that's the case ... valerie we are totally going to the belmont :thumbsup:
