I'll Start This Thread - How Did You Do Derby Day

[PatCummings]

Best betting day of my life - hit the super on a $200 ticket. Had the $0.50 trifecta three times, and the exacta six times. Needless to say, I'll be looking for some nice framed pics of Desormeaux giving up on Paddy O'Prado once he realized he wasn't going to catch him.

Glad you mentioned it, I saw that also. Surely bad habits are hard to break.

Got hammered at Churchhill and Belmont. Seemed like my horses finished just out all day long. Made a decent comeback at Evangeline (hit a nice 12-1 shot) and Calder later. Overall only droped $270 for the day.

I got crushed, but my father calls me from a Derby party hammered and says box me the 2-4-10-20 tri for a buck. unreal

How many times did 11 win on Saturday? After about the third time, I should have listened to the lady behind me who was betting nothing but 11's because it was her favorite number (or 1 when there wasn't an 11 entered), and I can assure you she did a hell of a lot better than I.

Thanks...

Want an even crazier part of the story - I was in a wedding and a few of us pooled some cash...bride and groom (who is a long time friend) walked away with a healthy share of it, so did father of the bride. It made for one heck of a wedding reception.

Oaks Day +412
Derby Day +660 (but I lost my long future wager on Ice Box obviously so subtract 50) Oh what could've been.

I was right about Ice Box, Super Saver and Paddy O'Prado. I was DEAD wrong on Sidney's Candy. General Quarters cost me the P4. I turned the day into a loss with incredibly awful betting.

GQ surprised me with that turf race for sure. I didn't expect that.
