Hypo Kentucky Derby ... 1950's Style

#1 07-19-2006, 01:19 PM

OK ... let's see if there was anything good around in the 1950's.

How about ...

... Tom Fool, Native Dancer, Nashua, Swaps, Summer Tan, Needles, Bold Ruler, Gallant Man, Iron Liege, Round Table, Hill Prince, High Gun, Tim Tam, Sword Dancer, First Landing?

Yup ... they'll do ... they'll do quite nicely.

Edit: Late entry to the field ... Nadir.

I'll take the Gray Ghost. That's a pretty competitive field though.

Some us enjoy racing history!
I'd go with Native Dancer here also!

I'd go with Native Dancer, although I think Needles would have given him a run for the money.

Cajun, I'm friends with Dave Erb, the rider of Needles. Asked him who the best horse he ever rode was, and he said Swaps.

Yeah ... like what was that stupid thing ... like what do they call it ... the Declaration of the Constitution ... or something? ... and like wasn't that like a hundred years ago ... so I'm like "Hello ... who cares?" ... I mean they didn't even have cell phones then ... right?

Old Goat,

Were you as good at telling people wouldn't win, back in what you probably believe were the "Glory Days".

Or did you gain this talent of telling us who wouldn't win with your age and wisdom?

All of the above.
