The Derby winners I selected correctly were Pleasant Colony, Sunny's Halo, Alysheba, and Strike the Gold. I'm in a bit of a dry spell!! Some of my more memorable miscues were Master David...Buddy Gil...Sweetnorthernsaint...Curlin...Private Emblem....Risen Star...Afleet Alex...Alydar...Jaklin Klugman....Easy Goer etc....I cant' remember every single year however. I just know I haven't been right since Strike the Gold.

You're probably aware of this, but Bordeaux Bandit is Noble C's half-bro.

Sad isn't it? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned my ridiculous choice of Master David in Smarty's Derby. LOL

Bordeaux Bandit looks to be a pretty nice one. Hope he's faster than his half brother... Lord knows Noble Causeway caused me some heartache in the Florida Derby. Such a nice looking colt, though. :o

At birth, didn't someone think that the horse was a filly, hence the name?

yeah, they told jack klugman that he was a she(wonder if that guy who made the mistake still works with horses, and figured things out?).
i believe he finished fourth that day.
