Worst: Not picking a Derby winner. Again. 0-for-6.
Best: My 7-year-old daughter picking the Derby winner and going nuts over her $2 WPS ticket. She's now 1-for-1!!

Best:
COMPLETED: 233344XXXXXXXXX CD#11$1 Superfecta4,6,WT,1,2,4,6,7,WT,1,2,4,6,7,9,10,WT,1, 2,4,6,7,9,10,11. What a redboard...no need to call me out on it. Second Best: Watching the video and realizing that my hunch was true...that Paddy O'Prado, if he didn't win, wouldn't be second considering his jockey. Sure enough, ole KD stopped just enough. Worst: Make Music For Me NOT finishing third...what a great problem to have...

It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.
Best moment: I'll confess and say that I finally had a Mint Julep for the first time and enjoyed it. Worst moment: Waiting in line behind amateurs at the race track while they tried to figure out how to make their bets. Related to this, I had to sit back and watch as Minnie Punt (27-1) pulled off an upset victory over Straight Story, and despite wanting to box those two for an exacta, I forgot about the race and didn't get the bet in on time.

Thanks - I was wearing a tuxedo, and in a wine cellar, watching the NBC feed and had no clue who was fourth...NTamm relayed the good info to me via phone cause the CD feed had it and NBC took like, six minutes til after the race to post the order.

Worst: General Quarters cost me 3 pick 3's and a pick 4. I was open to the next 4 behind him in that p4.
Best: just about everything else on my 20th Derby in person.

Wow. But your comment on Paddy is so true...I remember thinking the first time I watched the replay, "really, did Kent not even worry about finishing the race?"

Congrats, as well. I throw my normal wagering strategies aside most every Derby Day to go after one of those. Very glad some deserving person here got one.

When I was a kid, my home track was Ascot Park in Northeastern Ohio. Gone since 1966. Eddie DeBartolo closed the place. I'll never forget that a year or two before the 1966 closing the biggest odds winner ever crossed the wire first at over 150-1. Tumble Dream Paid $314 something, as I recall. Pretty sure that win and win price can no longer be verified, but I would comment in a documentary about the memory. I was an 8 year getting the ignition for "a lifelong chase of the dream." My BS meter says we have a legit $200,000 winner posting here.

Worst: Playing a $525 Pick 4 ticket (.50, 1050 combinations) with investors that went 1 for 4. Had Super Saver after missing the first three legs despite going 5x6x5. Probably the low point of my gambling career.
Best: Telling a family friend that she should play a cold Unrivaled Belle-Rachel Alexandra exacta. She won like $30 and I thought she was going to kiss me.

Thanks to the well wishers - there was a group of us in a wedding party who pooled some money and had me do the dirty work and well, made for a heck of a party.
Only had it for $1...as if it really matters! A Derby to remember, for sure.
