What were you right about and wrong about

[GPK]

I was wrong about....


everything

[Antitrust32]

I was right about the top three horses who came in. except i was on the fence with hard spun... was going to include him in exotics.

I was wrong about not going to the OTB to bet anything.

There is an air and sea show in my neighborhood today.. so I went there instead of the OTB. F22 stealth bombers are the coolest planes in the world. some of the tricks the planes at the air show are unreal. Great day.. spend the day at the beach watching our air force and navy show off its finest and then walk home and watch the derby with good friends! i dont mind that i didnt bet.

[MinnSkinny]

Me too. Darn near emptied the Bris account, but I do that every Derby.

[Cajungator26]

I was wrong about Scat Daddy and wrong about Curlin. Congrats to the Curlin backers... he ran a great race considering his lack of foundation.

I was RIGHT to include Street Sense and Hard Spun in my exacta box. I boxed Scat Daddy, Street Sense, Hard Spun, Zanjero and Any Given Saturday.

[MLC]

I had Street Sense and Hard Spun in a tri box with Circular Quay. I also had Street Sense and Curlin in an exacta box.

Was right about Street Sense, wrong about everything else.

I only included 1 Pletcher horse in my tri box, C.Q., and he at least finished the best of the Pletcher horses.

I was wrong to think that Zanjero was better than IMA (although Zanjero did have a slight traffic issue).

I didn't think Hard Spun was a toss, but of the "favorites" I thought he had the least chance of all of them. HE RAN HUGE TODAY.

[randallscott35]

Right: Hard Spun, Curlin, and Sedgefield.

Wrong: Street Sense(big time) and NoBiz

[ArlJim78]

Right: Street Sense, Curlin
Wrong: Dominican, also Hard Spun

[2Hot4TV]

Didn't cash a Derby ticket so that makes me totally wrong. How could you not cash a show ticket on SS @ $4.60. I put too much faith in CQ getting a part of the tri.

[Linny]

Wrong about Hard Spun, right about Street Sense.

Wrong about AGS, very wrong, but right about NoBiz

Wrong about Tiago but right about Curlin.

Wrong in how I bet...very wrong. I only got paid on my win bet because I was negative on HS.

[Pedigree Ann]

My only Derby bet was $5 across the board on Hard Spun, so at least I was right about him running big - BECAUSE OF, not in spite of, his fast work. He needed that after no race in 6 weeks. I was wrong about him being able to hold off Street Sense. I chickened out of betting an exacta box of the two (for 2 lousy bucks! Where is my money sense? Nowhere, that's where!)

Was right about the Illinois Derby being a lousy race and the winner a toss (Cowtown Cat) and about Scat Daddy remembering who HIS daddy is around the quarter pole. Wrong about Curlin not running well (would not have had him in a tri had I bet one).

But what I was most right about was that 2yo form from last year was holding up well and none of the prep race seconds and thirds without major wins already was likely to win the Derby. Street Sense beat Circular Quay by 10 lengths last year - so what did he beat CQ by this year, about the same?

P.S. Louisville (or Lousyville, as we like to call it) dodged a bullet today. We have had several strong thunder storms through Lexington today, lots of rain, flood warnings galore.
