![]() Great thread, but I can't believe that there's absolutely no mention of Saarland. Am I the only idiot that had him that day?

![]() This thread reminds me that my old man booked a $20 Win Bet on Sunday Silence for me in 1989 and then stiffed me. Time to get get out the calculator and figure some compounded interest.
I recall he was trying to teach me a lesson that I should have been saving my work money for college instead of playing horses..... |

![]() I had a pretty good run of horses hitting the board at one point, didn't I? Lost a lot of concentration AK (after kids). But Skip Away was the best horse in the race; he just hated Churchill.

![]() 2005 - Afleet Alex (3rd)*
2006 - Barbaro (1st) 2007 - Street Sense (1st) 2008 - Big Brown (1st) 2009 - Chocolate Candy (5th) Not too shabby for my first five years. *Speaking of Afleet Alex, anybody here have a compelling reason to make me feel good about Dublin winning the Derby? I'm on the fence right now, but have a hunch that he might win (even though his credentials say no). |

![]() The youngsters here forget how much easier it was to identify the good horses going into the Derby in the 1970s and 80s. They ran 4,5,6 races before the Derby - 3 at a minimum - and tended to have proper 2yo campaigns before that. After 10 or more starts, the wheat tended to be pretty obvious, and the chaff could be dismissed from consideration.
