Yeah they're trying to turn things around which is pretty cool. I'll cheer for the teams and maybe go to a few games but deep down I'll always be a Pitt fan. My WV Derby Day sounds a lot like yours. Hit the exacta in the 2nd (payed a whopping $11 for $2 ) and hit the early Pick 3 and was helped by Pletcher's horse stumbling to make the payoff worthwhile. Missed the exactas in the 6th and 9th by 3/4 of a length each and came up totally blank in the Derby. No way I thought Cielo Gold would get 2nd. I had Bright One over Circle the World, Regent Spirit, Luxembourg, and High Blues who finished 7th, 8th, 5th, and 9th. Oops. Left with more money than I went with tough, so it wasnt bad.
