Blast from the past - Who was your Derby horse?
 

I'm still pretty new here and so was just wondering.....

Mine was Deputy Glitters.

Who were you wild about the first Friday in May?

Good question!

I used two horses on top in really large trifectas, Sweetnorthernsaint and Jazil.

Oh well, I lost but the way Barbaro won it took some of the sting out of it because I really liked him and if I had to get beat I was sorta glad it was by him.

Jazil..............

I had Jazil and Bluegrass Cat.

Jazil baby!!!

Lawyer Ron and Storm Treasure. Yeah, pretty ****ty

Barbaro....honestly....posted a week before the race that he would win if he ran his race.

That damn horse that won the Haskell today cost me about $8-$10K in trifecta bets as I had barbaro keyed over both Jazil and Steppenwolfer

I keyed Barbaro and Point Determined in Tri's. I didnt have the 3rd place horse.

My derby horse was Sharp Humor, and I can't wait to see his return!

Barbaro to win. Seeing him work, you would have had to have been crazy to think the horse wouldn't get a piece of it.

Bluegrass Cat screwed up the whole thing for me. I had Steppenwolfer to finish 2nd... and I figured AP Warrior would be in the mix as well. WRONG on that. LOL

I made bets on:

Sharp Humor
Deputy Glitters
Keyed Entry (yeah, I'm embarassed by that one)

But Sharp Humor was the one I really liked. Still do.

brother derek till i seen the post position but still stayed with him,sharp humor, was on the bluegrass cat bandwagon also but jumped off after the last prep before the derby

If I remember what I wrote correctly, I had Lawyer Ron as my top choice, then SNS and then Barbaro. Oops.

last leg of the pick 3 (the derby) i had steppenwolfer, barbaro, ap warrior and sweet northern saint. winner winner chicken dinner

ON fri I was on BCat and Barbaro. The more I capped I dropped Barbaro and used Sweetnorthern saint by post time. My future was Bcat I made it in the first future thinking I would never se the 12/1 again and coulda got better at post time. Proves that betting the race and not the capping is the important thing.

My two were Sweetnorthernsaint and Steppenwolfer. It was so wide open though that I really had no idea. The TC race that I was the most sure of was the Belmont.
After the Arkansas Derby I said....Steppenwolfer is definitely going to win the Belmont. I was confident he would from that moment until they reached the far turn in the race. I still don't understand why he didn't get up in that race. Oh well.

Had too many bets as usual, but the keys were SNS and Barbaro. Had Point Determined keyed on the backside, but not on top.

Mine was Steppenwolfer to run 2nd or 3rd in trifectas. I stated that 3 weeks before the Derby until Derby post time and very thankfully he ran 3rd in that 11,500 trifecta!!!!

It was Brother Derek, but it changed to Barbaro 2 minutes later. BD just had another breeze the other day and they mentioned he might run before Del Mar closes.

I was definitely on Barbaro. I can't remember who my pick was for the Oaks, but I know it sure was not Lemons Forever!

barbaro--keyed him over sweetnorthernsaint, jazil, bro derek, and steppenwolfer. had I not ignored Pletcher I would have made a nice profit.

Okay, let's take it a step further..... for those of you who played the futures, who did you pick?

Corinthian and Barbican. Both side-lined before the Classics. Typical.

I had corinthian too...

And I now love you... any word on him? He was an impressive looking animal.

Bob and John & Lawyer Ron in the 1st Pool. At least they both made the race :o

Man, I wish finding the way to a woman's heart was always as easy as naming her preferred Kentucky Derby future horse.

well every b*tch has a price. :D

Maybe finding a girl who actually has knowledge of a horse as obscure as Barbican is probably a gift in and of itself anyway.

Dont get too excited, sport! Im just a pedigree nerd and he happens to own one of the best out there. His tail-female is the most underrated Canadian family around and gotta love Indy over Mr. P. Now, you guys can school me on the real handicapping. Im about as fortunate as a one legged hooker when it comes to that.

Sport....heh.

do you prefer princess? :p

I bet no futures this year....I learned my lesson last year with Rockport Harbor.

That's a negative, ghost rider. I just figured boss or champ couldn't be far behind.

I had never done it before so, in a moment of sheer brilliance, played Flashy Bull and Private Vow. :D

There actually were two others but alas..... they didn't make it to the Derby.

Done, sally! ;)

I'm with you on this count...threw a few futures at Sun King and the filly last year, got burned. Much better betting on the real thing, and there's still plenty of value.
