Congrats curt, a winner is always good, no matter how big or small.

Oh Hoss, you are talking about the Graham ride. Pathetic, no other word for it. He broke in the horses mouth, snatched him up, lost 4, swings out 7 wide in an 8 horse field and gets beat a nose.

It was a little before Derby. I just remember taking a deep breath and going for a walk. Very ugly ride

yeah, i had it too....shame i didn't win a thin dime, since i didn't feel like driving all the way to hot springs to play it.

shoulda tho. congrats!

Cardus, read the put over thread. Nice mark

We needed to get together... I had $57 Brickell, but lost the late pick 4 when Bravo couldn't get his nose up with the Confidenceman:mad: That really Sucked!

Lesson Learned:

It really pains me to read about the handful that cashed the Derby tri....and didn't invest a mere $17 to play /ALL underneath for the super.

Had Oaks/Derby Double
 

Not saying much given the two faves.
For once, the horses with the fastest speed figs each won.
Street Sense had the fastest thorograph number and Rags appears to be a monster.....

Wont brag given the two faves but did collect.

PSH

Had $5 across the board on Hard Spun, so collected there, lost a $9 Pick 3 when singled Pussycat Doll couldn't get up. For a $2 bettor like me, this is big money, breath of relief that I was actually up $20 on the day.

I am much a chicken bettor.

my play was the super in the derby .....thats it and the guid hurt me ..any other horse gets 4th and i hit..oh well.........

I talked to my buddy Kev about noon or so cuz a friend of ours told me that he thought Great Hunter would win, so I decided to tell him that someone else was on the GH wagon....I also told him I thought it was a 2 horse race between SS and HS and I was finishing up with my community yard sale and using my take to go to the otb....I only made one play but it was my gut play and I done good....:)

Hey Me too, me too!! After turning my brain to mush, I said screw it and just put my whole Derby fund on Street on the nose!! Biggest single bet I ever made. I didnt even put that much on Pleasantly Perfect when he won the BC!

Only bet the derby this year due to lack of time.....Cashed $50 win on SS and had a 10 box exacta ss and hard spun....All in cashed in $800 on bets of $90.

Does the First time starter in the 4th race @ belmont on saturday count ?
$135.00 to win.. and the super paid... $76,000 + ? Or is this a Derby only thread ?

Xpressbet - Thanks for nothing....Literally
 

got blown out of the P6 early, nothing new :D

But then had Xpressbet issues with tickets getting placed - received confirmation...3 tickets specifically.... that I had written down as they were for guests.... (of course didn't write down the trans# as I was betting for 3 people, trying to get everyone in)...

1. a $2 win on 7 longshots (loser),

2. a $10 WPS on Hard spun (winner)

3. and a $1 tri box with HS, Curlin, SS, AGS and NoBiz(winner).....As of this morning, they still have not shown up in my wagers....:eek:

So about 300 bucks worth of winnings in tickets that never materialized.

Certainly not the end of the world, but put a sour taste in the mouths of the casual fans that ordinarily would not bet on line and probably won't ever again, now.

Thanks Xpressbet, you've not only screwed me, but have convinced 3 fans of the the game, that may very well become regulars at some point, to stay away from online betting.

not bad
 

I had 100WPS on Hard Spun, $2 and $5 exacta, and $1 tri. Cashed $1400+ in Derby. I did not have Sky Conqueror in the PK3 and PK4, that's what cost me the most. A great race and a good day at the cyber-windows.
