Wrong about Hard Spun, right about Street Sense.
Wrong about AGS, very wrong, but right about NoBiz Wrong about Tiago but right about Curlin. Wrong in how I bet...very wrong. I only got paid on my win bet because I was negative on HS.

Right about Street Sense... in November last year I was at Churchill freezing my backside off and was lucky enough to witness him demolish most of these same foes in the BC Juvenile. I sat around all winter and spring waiting for one of these other horses to step up in a prep race, none did...
Right about there being too many prep races.... Right that owners are stupid and egotistical... Running a horse in the derby just for the sake of being there is insulting to the fans of racing. Right about Curlin and Hard Spun and my 4 horse ex/tri box... Right that the Derby is the single greatest betting race ever!! Wrong on about everything else I do in regards to betting horses!!

disappointed with Nobiz. he was a clean 4th, with a clear path to the lead and faded.
dissappointed in great hunter. i thought MAYBE he'd have chance from the 20 gate. congrats to hard spun, i completely tossed him. i tip my hat to him. nice effort from curlin. i just didn't know what to expect. BRAVO ! to street sense ! and connections.

My only Derby bet was $5 across the board on Hard Spun, so at least I was right about him running big - BECAUSE OF, not in spite of, his fast work. He needed that after no race in 6 weeks. I was wrong about him being able to hold off Street Sense. I chickened out of betting an exacta box of the two (for 2 lousy bucks! Where is my money sense? Nowhere, that's where!)
Was right about the Illinois Derby being a lousy race and the winner a toss (Cowtown Cat) and about Scat Daddy remembering who HIS daddy is around the quarter pole. Wrong about Curlin not running well (would not have had him in a tri had I bet one). But what I was most right about was that 2yo form from last year was holding up well and none of the prep race seconds and thirds without major wins already was likely to win the Derby. Street Sense beat Circular Quay by 10 lengths last year - so what did he beat CQ by this year, about the same? P.S. Louisville (or Lousyville, as we like to call it) dodged a bullet today. We have had several strong thunder storms through Lexington today, lots of rain, flood warnings galore.

I was right on three of the four on the pick-4.
I was right to say immediately after the BC that Street Sense would win the Derby on my blog. I was right on the top two finishers on my trifecta. I was wrong to leave Curlin out of that trifecta. I was wrong to think that even a bias-aided Cowtown Cat could contend in here. I was wrong to include Scat Daddy at the last minute after insisting he had no shot to win for the last two months.
