I've only been actively betting the Derby for about four years now -- and the only one I got right was Smarty Jones.

Monarchos/ Invisible Ink
keyed Inky in all my bets. Friend asked me who I liked then put $50 to win on him. I said "to hit the board" not to win silly Funny Cide was almost as easy as Silver Charm I liked Free House (rip big guy) I didn't bet him to show and he paid $10 to show. grrr. oh and had a little something on Charismatic. other than that I stink big time.

Off the top of my head, and not in order:
Sunny's Halo Winning Colors Sunday Silence Go for Gin Thunder Gulch Smarty Jones. And all but the last were due to my excellent "I liked the name best" method. Sigh... I did for a while have a remarkable skill at picking the winner of the Belmont for the Derby and giving up on the horse just in time for the Belmont. (Editor's Note, Touch Gold, Victory Gallop). The Editor's Note one still hurts. I remember I spent that Belmont in an OTB right next to a theater where I was performing in "Of Mice and Men." Boy, Curly's Wife was cranky in the evening show that day...
