I think it is the sloppy track and the 30 minutes between posts

I'm not as hyped up about it as in previous years, but it's THE DERBY. It's the 1st jewel in the TC.

We gotta get your spirits up. If you don't get excited about the Derby, the Real Housewives win!

Anything with Reserve in it's name is out of my price range. I will, however, find a suitable replacement.

Well said Chuck and Math.

I can't make a solid case against all but a couple of horses. Everyone is laughing at Homeboykris. Isnt he a grade 1 winning two year old that beat SuperSaver and Nobles promise, two horses that are bound to take plenty of money? Isnt he running for a trainer that is known to be pretty good with the layoff and the needle? Isnt his jockey the number 1 jockey in the country right now?

My point isn't about who Im betting. I am just saying that this race is muddled garbage. From a beyer perspective alone, can anyone remember a derby that was even close to being this bad?

Still, Im a junkie. I will watch.

If you are on track, it doesn't seem like there is enough time. The lines for betting, food and relieving yourself are unbelievable.

Wear a diaper, bring a Blackberry, and you can do all three at once.

I'm afraid to ask what you're using for food.
