What?

Scratch that...Coaltown was in that field and I don't think he beat him by that much.

Barbaro?

Huh?

Who was the first horse to ever beat lol lol lol?

I think his was just over 6..

6, 8 tomatoes, to ma toes

Old Rosebud, 1914.

I am the Google Master.

Okay, one about the girls:

Winning Colors was the third filly to win the Derby and the 21st winner to have done what in running the race?

Wired it?

Name a sire that has produced both an Oaks and Derby winner....

Halo... sired Sunny's Halo and Sunday Silence (both Derby winners.) Also sired Goodbye Halo, Oaks winner.

Very interesting that Goodbye Halo won the Kentucky Oaks in 1988 with Pat Day aboard... one year later, Pat Day would be beat in the Derby riding Easy Goer by another offspring of Halo, Sunday Silence.

Both Goodbye Halo and Sunday Silence were sent to Japan.

you are a walking, talking, wikipedia!

Right on the money, DC. :)

I can't remember- did War Emblem wire to wire it? Would that make 22 total who have won wire to wire, or was WC the last one?

Damn, and I saw that race, too... getting senile in my old age.

How many UNIQUE states have a Derby winner been foaled in, and which state has the lowest (human) population of those represented?

Yes.

He did indeed because I only bet $10.00 to win on him FOR MY HUBBY instead of $20 because I figured it was just lost money because NO WAY was War Emblem going to go wire to wire.

elwood was bred by mrs J B Prather

name the five women jockeys in the derby and what years?

Rosemary Homeister, Jr. (2003, Supah Blitz, 13th)

Julie Krone (1992 Ecstatic Ride, 14th; 1995 Suave Prospect, 11th)

Andrea Seefeldt (1991 Forty Something, 16th

Patricia Cooksey (1984 So Vague, 11th)

Diane Crump (1970 Fathom, 15th)

Keeping with the theme.....


there have been 12 female trainers for the derby. Latest was Mulhall and Pedersen in '04


who was the first woman to train a horse in ky. derby???

15 US states, Canada and GB have produced Derby winners. The least populous being Montana, home of the mighty Spokane.

Name the 4 Virginia breds to win the Derby, one of them is considered an all time great.

I can name the great one. Secretariat. :cool:

Wow, you're amazing:rolleyes:

I know, I know... I'm here all day. :D

Reigh Count in 1928

Pleasant Colony was another one...

One more, from the modern era. Hint: His owner breeder was one of the most respected and beloved of "big time owners." His trainer was one of the greats of the game.

EXCELLENT...

Additionally Summer Squall produced Charasmatic and Summerly

Trained by Mack Miller?
Owned by Paul Mellon?
Bronze Statue in the padock at Saratoga?

Yep!

I believe the closest to winning it was; Casual Lies in '92, trained by Shelley Riley

1937, Mary Hirsch sent out No Sir to finish 13th. Mary was well bred for training, being "by" Max Hirsch. She trained Travers winner Thanksgiving in '38.
