Congrats, Root! He ran huge, a real game horse. Do you know what the chances are they will run in the Belmont? That is 3 huge efforts in a row by him.

I only saw replay once, but it looked like Mucho Macho Man had a perfect trip and had nothing in the tank.

While we made a decent chunk of money betting Shackleford across the board, I was so wishing Animal Kingdom would win. I was so wishingnot because I bet all of my wager money on him to win - I just wanted the TC to get more hype. I really feel bad that I didn't give this horse some respect early on. I'm not going to discard a horse because they never raced on dirt until they prove they can't.

Shackleford is one handsome hunk of horse flesh - reminds me of one the knights of yore would have ridden in their jousts. All but wrote him off thinking he blew 50% of his energy going postal before being loaded in the gate. But, he was making his way back to the barn as quickly as he could.

Both very nice horses - The Shack and AK.

No reason to redboard. $21 betting on Shackleford got us $155. Lost $20 betting on AK.

I agree. There was no reason to redboard.

Oh, excuse me, I thought redboarding was saying you had the winner without being able to prove it. But, you like to control what's written on this forum, so pardon me for deviating from your rules and regulations.
