Didn't lose my complete butt. Just half of it due to a few dollars on Icebox to place which I bet with a lot of trepidation thinking that both he and LAL would probably be taken out of it from the start because of their post positions. Just barely made it home in time to place a bet. Was in NYC all week and flew home Saturday morning through thunderstorms. Feel extremely lucky considering we were all over times square all week.

Didn't even bother to bet. The Derby is always too hard to bet, what with 20 horses and all the crazyness!
Stupidly, I agreed to work for someone, not even realizing it was Derby day. {I know, right??? isn't it always the 1st Sat in May? DOH!!) Anyway, got off work early and drove like a crazy person to my friend Tonya's house. Drank about 15 gallons of sangria, then we watched the race at about 5 am. I had already cheated and checked ESPN on my phone, but she had no clue that her pick won. Who the HELL picks Super Saver??? And WINS!! She's only a horse fan thru me. And why did she pick SS? quote "I LOVES Calvin Bo-Rail" unquote. So there ya have it folks. Good times!!!

Had the tri in the Oaks for $97 but wish Evening Jewel held on. Played tri's and Pick 3's derby day but was not even close. My son (12 yrs old) had 1,2,4,13,20 tri-box for the derby. I was also going to play it as an exacta but had already spent too much on the day and passed.
 Overall a fun day. Setup a TV outside on the deck and watched the early portion of the card from there. Then went over to Monmouth Park with the family for the derby.

Didn't hit crap all day long. Started with the first race too. Just missing all over the place. Had the Oaks/Woodford/Derby double though, so i broke about even for the day. If Ice Box doesn't get up for second, I had the exacta and would be ahead by that much. Still had a blast!
