These are the only correct Derby winners I selected to win since 1980...
Pleasant Colony Sunny's Halo Swale Alysheba Strike the Gold 5 for 27...awesome and I'm obviously getting worse with age.

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.

I hate to brag because I've had great Luck picking Derby winners 8 for 13 to be exact.I'm not so lucky picking the 2nd and 3rds with them.I had a great start 1992-1996 were all mine Sea Hero, Lil E Tee, Go for Gin, Thunder Gulch and Grindstone. I cooled off a few years then stated back in 97 with Captain Bodget 2nd, 00 with Fu Peg, 01 Monarchos and Smarty Jones in 04. If the Derby has a pickable winner most years I'm in the mix then some bombs hit and I'm left out in the cold.

I think I bet Riva Ridge to win.
Seems a lot of people here had Thunder Gulch. Horse paid $52 or so. |

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...

I have had a few.
Silver Charm Barbaro Fu Peg Lil E. Tee (no capping, my name is Elise Teer).lol My best longshot was Closing Arguement. I loved him, all the "real" cappers were telling me I was crazy, but I put $20 across on him and made my money back..... Freaking Giamaco.lol
