Lil E Tee died
 

Maybe I missed a previous thread here, on the Lexington noon news they announced that Lil E Tee passed away last week.

I think it's the only K Derby I ever won, bet big, got crazy and drove down the road at about 85 mph on Route 30(50 mph zone). Got arrested for being .11 b.a.c., barely over

He phoned home.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

My mom was the only person I knew who picked him that year and the only reason she did was she was a huge Pat Day fan. She was like 'oh Pat's on Lil E. Tee? That's my horse.' Now that he's retired, she goes for the greys.

I have that telecast of the Kentucky Derby on VHS from beginning to end.

Just watched it a couple weeks ago to get myself pumped for Kentucky Derby prep season much like I watch old baseball movies and games for MLB Opening Pitch.

Thankfully for my wagering self in Lil E. Tee's year I was living in pre-internet and non-OTB South Carolina.

I was a solid believer in the hype of Arazi, and the lack of pedigree for Lil E. Tee.

Sorry to see Lil E. Tee pass.



Age 20 seems too young for a Kentucky Derby Champion.
