I personally wanted to see him win by a pole and have a real horse as the Derby favorite. With him potentially not being a 10F horse we could see another Mine That Bird type horse win, how exactly is that a good thing?

For full disclosure, I did not bet the race because I couldn't find a viable alternative. My buddy was looking for suggestions and I told him to bet against the showjumpers and it damn near paid off.

Honestly, does everybody just hate New Yorkers? I get that sense around KY sometimes.

Well said. I don't get why people don't like the guy.
