Uhm, bet you don't have one of these:



Clyde Van Dusen (1885 - January 8, 1951) was an American jockey and trainer of Thoroughbred racehorses best known for winning the 1929 Kentucky Derby.


Following a career as a jockey, Van Dusen turned to training. Handling the racing stable of Amsterdam, New York businessman, Herbert P. Gardner, in 1929 Clyde Van Dusen became the only trainer to ever win the Kentucky Derby with a horse named in their honor. The gelding, Clyde Van Dusen, was the first son of Man o' War.







HA-HA!

PLAYERS STILL IN: 963
PLAYERS OUT: 6247


You have to go back 18 races and 2 years to find a race that Amazombie did NOT finish in the top 3. And he only needs to beat 4 horses in today's 8th.

Nevertheless, I'm taking a shot with South Floyd in the 4th, trying to take advantage of the post-draw scratch down to 5 horses. Normally, 5-horse races are excluded from this contest. 3 of the 5 horses have only run on synthetic. If South Floyd's BSF is solid, I should be okay. I also like that he's coming back in just 2 weeks off his maiden win, while Amazombie hasn't run in over 2 months.

I'm more or less thinking out loud here because 50% of my brain is still shouting, "Take Amazombie you idiot!!"
