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.

Right about Street Sense... in November last year I was at Churchill freezing my backside off and was lucky enough to witness him demolish most of these same foes in the BC Juvenile. I sat around all winter and spring waiting for one of these other horses to step up in a prep race, none did...

Right about there being too many prep races....

Right that owners are stupid and egotistical... Running a horse in the derby just for the sake of being there is insulting to the fans of racing.

Right about Curlin and Hard Spun and my 4 horse ex/tri box...

Right that the Derby is the single greatest betting race ever!!

Wrong on about everything else I do in regards to betting horses!!

disappointed with Nobiz. he was a clean 4th, with a clear path to the lead and faded.
dissappointed in great hunter. i thought MAYBE he'd have chance from the 20 gate.

congrats to hard spun, i completely tossed him. i tip my hat to him.

nice effort from curlin. i just didn't know what to expect.

BRAVO ! to street sense ! and connections.

i was right about hard spun and street sense. just wanted those two in the opposite order at the finish--truth be told, had hard spun not been by danzig, no way i'd hope to see rick porter in the winners circle...

was right about pletchers horses. also about stormello learning how to rate.

was wrong about curlin--i hoped for a good finish from him for oaklawns sake (i want to see gr 1 by the arkansas derby) but i didn't see him getting into the top three.

and i sure didn't see imawildandcrazyguy in the super!
