Thanks - I was wearing a tuxedo, and in a wine cellar, watching the NBC feed and had no clue who was fourth...NTamm relayed the good info to me via phone cause the CD feed had it and NBC took like, six minutes til after the race to post the order.

Second Best: Watching the video and realizing that my hunch was true...that Paddy O'Prado, if he didn't win, wouldn't be second considering his jockey. Sure enough, ole KD stopped just enough.

Worst: Make Music For Me NOT finishing third...what a great problem to have...

Awesome hit!!

Unreal....

Wow. But your comment on Paddy is so true...I remember thinking the first time I watched the replay, "really, did Kent not even worry about finishing the race?"

Congrats, as well.

I throw my normal wagering strategies aside most every Derby Day to go after one of those.

Very glad some deserving person here got one.

My worst moment almost 2 days after the derby was reading this collection of fairy tales.



My best moment of the derby was watching LousyGrades actually destroying ant hills on the backstretch.


My worst moment of the derby was watching LineOfDavid sink like a lead weight on that same backstretch.






Shirley there is a thread dying for the Beyers on SS.....right?

Thunder Gulch 05-03-2010 01:33 PM

Worst: General Quarters cost me 3 pick 3's and a pick 4. I was open to the next 4 behind him in that p4.

Best: just about everything else on my 20th Derby in person.

Wow... congrats Pat!

MaTH716 05-03-2010 02:38 PM

Will end up being the best $200 you ever spent in your life :)

Congrats man, that is an awesome score.

herkhorse 05-03-2010 08:52 PM

That is one nice score Pat, congrats.

Congrats man, that is an awesome score.


When I was a kid, my home track was Ascot Park in Northeastern Ohio.

Gone since 1966. Eddie DeBartolo closed the place.


I'll never forget that a year or two before the 1966 closing the biggest odds winner ever crossed the wire first at over 150-1.

Tumble Dream


Paid $314 something, as I recall.

Pretty sure that win and win price can no longer be verified, but I would comment in a documentary about the memory.

I was an 8 year getting the ignition for "a lifelong chase of the dream."


My BS meter says we have a legit $200,000 winner posting here.

Worst: Playing a $525 Pick 4 ticket (.50, 1050 combinations) with investors that went 1 for 4. Had Super Saver after missing the first three legs despite going 5x6x5. Probably the low point of my gambling career.

Best: Telling a family friend that she should play a cold Unrivaled Belle-Rachel Alexandra exacta. She won like $30 and I thought she was going to kiss me.

if thats the case my best moment was friday when le grand cru won at belmont, mr. jerkens at age 81 was all smiles in the circle.....thank you sir :$::$:. my worst was not liking paddy o prado and leaving him off my ticket.

that's incredible

but i never believed that Dublin had a shot to hit the board let alone win

guess that's why I don't have $100k


oh well let us know what you buy with your winnings.
it's always nice to be able to point to something and say, "I won that"
