A lot of those old racetrack and gambling sayings are gems for sure. "The Pace is the Race," " Scared Money Never Wins, etc.", but really hard not to study long in the Kentucky Derby. Some years you might have a Justify or a California Chrome and the like and it seems to be a bit easier, but even then, it can be tough to sort out which one of the 19 others is going to finish in the money. I read somewhere, probably DRF or Blood Horse that Bob Baffert said there was great parity this year and he was right and I think that might have been part of the problem. MS was in my estimation, the best of the lot, but he wasn't so much better that he could put the others away easily. Lots of frustration by people that had him to win and I can understand that because I am one of them, but in a sport where you're going to be wrong most of the time, I am not having that much trouble moving on to the next race.
