I understand people get worked up for the Derby. That's great. I don't. I spend hours every day agonizing over races being run that day ( or the next ). I have plenty of action without having to worry about silly ego related bets on a race I will, at best, have a vague opinion on.
I understand, it's hard to defend the indefensible.

i have almost no opinion on smooth air.

but i hate recapturetheglory and think he has zero chance.

do i really need to have a winner to respond to the recapture fans because i'm dumping on him?

I think you at least have to find a recapture fan. I haven't seen a bigger no chance horse in the Derby since Cowtown Cat.

Not necessarily. As long as you only told me (and maybe a few others) the results, then all would be good. We woudn't want the odds going down too much, ya know.

Trust me, I agree. The stock market gives me plenty of risks all day long ... I could use a little simplicity in regards to the rest of my life. LMAO
