Wise guy horses.....
 

for kicks and giggles, can anyone on the board remember the wise guy horses of Derbys past? i honestly can't remember many but i know that they are out there and i always laugh when i got hooked into the hype. any names would be appreciated for a laugh. thank you.

I seem to recall Vicar & Gemologist getting a bit of hype. I shouldn't laugh though, as I've made some terrible Derby plays:

Saarland...went off as the 2nd choice and finished mid pack somewhere
Also bet Scrimshaw for some dumb reason :zz:

Wasn't My Boy Jack bet down pretty heavily? Though I think he finished alright. I'd have to check.

Bandini was a wise guy horse in the 2005 “Giacomo Derby.”

those are some names that bring back some memories.
