In retrospect,should have not included Scat Daddy in my plays....1st and 3rd is the story of my betting life ....so to speak!

I was wrong, sort of, on Scat. I don't think the foot problems had anything to do with a poor performance, but I was wrong about the distance issues. He was sitting pretty early, but tired out.

I, too, was wrong about Curlin. Nice performance.

I was also wrong about and screwed arounf too long on getting my money into the WinTicket Pick 6 players pool. A $10 investment paid out $82 and change. Would have done better with my money there than on Scat Daddy.

Still a great day. I knew whrn Calvin shot to the rail that he was going to be in the race, and when he made his move on the backstretch, I knew he would win...

Right about Street Sense... in November last year I was at Churchill freezing my backside off and was lucky enough to witness him demolish most of these same foes in the BC Juvenile. I sat around all winter and spring waiting for one of these other horses to step up in a prep race, none did...

Right about there being too many prep races....

Right that owners are stupid and egotistical... Running a horse in the derby just for the sake of being there is insulting to the fans of racing.

Right about Curlin and Hard Spun and my 4 horse ex/tri box...

Right that the Derby is the single greatest betting race ever!!

Wrong on about everything else I do in regards to betting horses!!

Had the top 2 in a nice 20.00 box. Wrong in throwing out Curlin, and Imawildandcrazyguy for fourth? Whodathunk? Had to go pretty far down for any of my tri picks.

Great trip for SS, Hard Spun ran a great race. Couldn't someone have slowed SS just a little for me? It seemed so easy, or is Borel just that Magical? Great ride, but he should finish the race before celebrating.

I was wrong to throw out SS and Curlin.

Also wrong in my analysis of Circular Quay.

I was right about Hard Spun and what he was going to do though..

doesn't make me feel any better.

Right: Street Sense and Hard Spun

Wrong: A long shot hitting the board.

My 1st Derby tri and it pays less than half of what it has in the past few yrs.

disappointed with Nobiz. he was a clean 4th, with a clear path to the lead and faded.
dissappointed in great hunter. i thought MAYBE he'd have chance from the 20 gate.

congrats to hard spun, i completely tossed him. i tip my hat to him.

nice effort from curlin. i just didn't know what to expect.

BRAVO ! to street sense ! and connections.

i was right about hard spun and street sense. just wanted those two in the opposite order at the finish--truth be told, had hard spun not been by danzig, no way i'd hope to see rick porter in the winners circle...

was right about pletchers horses. also about stormello learning how to rate.

was wrong about curlin--i hoped for a good finish from him for oaklawns sake (i want to see gr 1 by the arkansas derby) but i didn't see him getting into the top three.

and i sure didn't see imawildandcrazyguy in the super!

Right about... the one/two finishers
wrong about Curlin...throwing him out completely

Right about Street And Calvin. I knew he would win!!

Right about Scat Daddy and that bar shoe,freaking Pletcher!'

Wrong about Curlin, thought his 3 starts and trip would get him.

Wrong about Hard Spun, he wasnt even on my radar.

Right about Rated Fiesty

Wrong about AGS/Cowtown Cat lighting the board

Very, Very, Very right to throw my whole Derby money on Street and Calvin....$100 on the nose. I just couldnt figure out tri/supers so I said to heck with it. All I ever bet on the Derby is $100, anything more than that is to rich for my blood.

but man oh man was i right about cowtown cat, stormello and scat daddy. OUCH. i thought cowtown would be back in the pack, sure didn't see last tho.

Curlin was the mistake. Pitched Scat & CQ which was OK. Hit the exacta but in this case 2 of 3 didn't help me in the tri.

Completely wrong about Hard Spun. Had him in my top 5, but thought he might get cooked. Fully expected Stormello and No Biz to be the pace setters. Fairly right about some other things, but the worse thing I was wrong about was that I had 3 of the 4 races right in the pick 4, but lost by singling Pussycat Doll, the 1-1 fave and here is the truly horrendously stupid thing about that. I had a win and place ticket on Hysterical Lady, the horse that won that race. (have mercy on me Mr. BTW and Hooves. I promise not to ever do it again!!!). Only cost me $4700, but it's only money, right? Even so, I had a great day. Is there anything like the derby to get your blood pumping?

I was wrong about Total.

Wrong about Cowtown Cat

Right to draw a line through the Blue Grass for all parties, right to play the lynchpin angles of my handicapping life (third off the layoff, win over the track, and recent sharp work over the surface) and pick the logical Street Sense, right about Hard Spun and Curlin.

Might fold the tent and call it a year for wagering :)

Calvin Bo-rail did his thing in that race too, beautifully. Had her in the P4 (with the objective of beating Zophie) but my top two selections in the race failed miserably...

Helens filly is now 3 for 3 on dirt and 0 for 2 on poly

Well, at least we nailed the turf race preceding that. The Pletcher 6/5 was a total phony.

Lady of Venice would have mopped the floor with this group, I'd like to know why Biancone scratched because he doesn't usually do that for no reason.

I was right about Curlin and Hard Spun and Street Sense, but I was wrong because I thought Curlin might very well win. Hard Spun I put third.

I was wrong about so many things....

Only right was to bet Hard Spun WPS. Only ticket hubby and I cashed. WHOPPIE!
