Phil.....if you liked Editor's Note you cashed as he was an entry with the winner I believe.

You reminded me....I liked Pine Bluff the year he lost as well.

You are correct, he was... but I think it was one of those phases where I was all about exotic bets and I know for sure I didn't have Cavonnier because some jamoke convinced me a gelding couldn't win the Derby (and I was stupid enough to listen)... so I'm sure I didn't cash a ticket. Regardless, I didn't have Grindstone anywhere in my top 5 for sure.

I really like Afleet Alex but I loved, loved Closing Arguement. I just loved the fact that he hit the board in all of his races and was dead game. While it wasnt on this board, on the other board that I was posting on at the time, I made them sick of hearing his name. And freaking Giamaco, cost me the tri AND super. I didnt have him in the 1st spot, only 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I did make money because I had C.A. across the board, and my bestfriend, who was a first time bettor, became a horse racing fan for life as C.A. was racing to the finish line. But boy, the tri and super would have been, in TVG speak, "A Life Changing Payoff". Did I mention freaking Giamaco......hehe But I was happy for Mike Smith.

You're probably aware of this, but Bordeaux Bandit is Noble C's half-bro.

I am.....and I'm not holding it against him....yet.

[horseofcourse]

The Derby winners I selected correctly were Pleasant Colony, Sunny's Halo, Alysheba, and Strike the Gold. I'm in a bit of a dry spell!! Some of my more memorable miscues were Master David...Buddy Gil...Sweetnorthernsaint...Curlin...Private Emblem....Risen Star...Afleet Alex...Alydar...Jaklin Klugman....Easy Goer etc....I cant' remember every single year however. I just know I haven't been right since Strike the Gold.

At birth, didn't someone think that the horse was a filly, hence the name?

Next thing they knew, they descended.

yeah, they told jack klugman that he was a she(wonder if that guy who made the mistake still works with horses, and figured things out?).
i believe he finished fourth that day.
