Best

TV Coverage - other than sweating out the end of the Ill-Mich game
so we could see the Juvy race live.
The Fight
Churchill Downs
Real Dirt
Uncle Mo
Unrivaled Bell
My Friday Bankroll
The Shot of the track under the lights..pretty cool

Worst

Midday not getting up and costing me a huge triple
Not putting shared account on top of Midday for a few bucks
My Saturday bankroll
Leaving Big Drama out of my pick 3
Not betting either one of Pletcher's More than Ready horses

[Danzig]

best:

dvr'ing the races, coming home and zipping thru the nonsense and just watching the good stuff.
getting home in time to see the classic live.
blame, who i'd picked way back when, winning.
goldikova three-peating. an awesome horse.
dakota phone's win-love seeing an older horse triumph like that, repaying his connections for keeping him in racing.

worst:
having a horse break down.
them only showing zenyatta the whole time, with nary a glimpse of the rest of the classic field.
the mosses asking fans to be quiet.

Best
Rolling Pick 3's
Uncle Mo
Blame and Zenyetta
Chamberlain Bridge and Big Drama beating the bias
Goldikova's explosive move
Dangerous Midge rerallying

Worst
Still seeing Zenyatta haters after that gutsy performance
Jaycito not showing up
Forevertogether showing up (enough already quit embarassing her)
All Euro non turf horses
Musket Man not hitting the board
Me fat fingering 1,6 instead of my intended 1,5 in the last leg of the Pick 6 that cost me 1200 bucks in the 5 of 6
Me for not having Dakota Phone in above Pick 6 yet having him in a winning P3

I never got Musket Man... I said on this website, at least a year ago that he would never win a race. They might be able to find a Grade 3 for him, but they have yet to do that. I had 5 friends say, I like this Musket Man a little. I said why? They all said because Serling likes him. No one could give one reasson why to like this slug.

[ateamstupid]

Musket Man likely would've won the Dirt Mile.

It would have been another toss out for me, that I would have lost $ on.

I didn't think he would win however he is a battler and always finds a way to hit the board. The kind that you can key off of in a tri.

It does not always work. I thought the same about Warriors Reward... Yes I thought he could win, but he was lock city to run 2-3 in my mind...

What was that about the Mosses asking fans to be quiet? I recorded the shows too and skipped pretty much most of everything besides the actual race.

Frankly, I wish the Mosses would have come on DT and asked the fans to be quiet months ago.

Waffle House is way over rated.

Jeff Rubys was tremendous.

Lanes End was incredible.

Repole was hysterical.

[RockHardTen1985]

I forgot about Repole, he was funny as hell.
Jeremy Schapp tryed to ruin it.

First time there! It was great. Jack Frys has better food but the atmosphere at Jeff Ruby's was great. A lot of plastic there...and I'm not talking about credit cards.

Shared Account winning the f and M turf was great.

Zenyatta running her eyeballs out

Borel and Castellano fighting

The worst?

The lack of international interest. it didn't feel much like a "world" anything.

The cold. Mr. Byk was right. I was crying for so cal by 6 pm friday evening.

She looked like she was getting a bit unerved.

Her groom was shushing the crowd, as well.

I didn't watch ESPN, so I don't know if it was brought up at all...but what a few days for Garrett Gomez. Falls on Thursday and is taken off the track in a stretcher after his mount breaks down and rolls on him. Wins with his first mount back the next day and then takes down 3 Breeders Cup races.

Pretty cool story.
