That stunk.

somebody needs to drug test Borail.

i doubt we see any redboarders on this pick. no one would believe you if you said you had him.
christ.
country comes to town. woohoo.

I would rather lose like that, with a horse that I wouldn't bet with counterfiet money than to lose with a horse I tossed at the last second.
Congrats to Calvin and the connections.

By the way what the hell happened to Freisian Fire?

He stopped running at the 3/16th pole thinking the race was over.

no triple crown talk this year? lol

And see, I'm the complete opposite. I don't see any feasible way that a serious horseplayer could ever come up with this horse...so what's the point?

I'd rather lose to a logical horse, or even REMOTELY logical horse, that I chose to play against than a horse that I couldn't have put in my ticket if you let me go 15 deep.

Hey, they just showed a replay of the 2007 derby. I didnt think it was that muddy that day? Oh, wait a minute.......what? Oh, that was this years derby.

Brian sometimes. S.hit happens, and boy did it happen today. Not the first unlogical horse to win and it won't be the last. That's what makes this game so great.

i would say...NO

So who won the contest?:D

Jeff Mullins is sitting somewhere right now shaking his head.

he's prolly on the phone looking to find that stuff!

I mean, I get that. Completely. I'm not usually one to be upset about longshot winners. Didn't cash a nickel on Giacomo, and wasn't upset even a little bit about him, because he had at least been competitive against SOMETHING resembling a quality horse before in his career.

There's getting beat by an illogical horse.

And then there's this, which is an entire stratosphere away from Giacomo's Derby.

Frustrated from losing, for sure -- but also frustrated that I don't think there's any way any serious horseplayer could have come up with that. At least there's no way any serious horseplayer can call Giacomo a nag ever again....

which one?

and i wonder if anti-trust still wants to buy me a beer? i did choose musket man....:D

I laughed :D

I agree.

I am sure she does ;)

lol


i find it hilarious tho....dunkirk, over 3 million. desert party, over 2 million. sheik standing there probably not even knowing where new mexico is located, and he just flew over here to watch a $9500 horse beat his dynamic duo of regal ransom and desert party. lmao!!! oh boy. too damned funny.

Look at the positives. Everyone came out of the race ok (that's huge after the tradgedy last year). Also, look at the prices that mainstream America is going to see after this race. I am talking about the people that only play today and maybe the other TC races. Maybe a few more people will be drawn to the sport, after seeing the balloons that are capeable of being paid out.
I know it's a stretch!

:D
:tro:

oh, plenty of positives for sure. if i want revenge's connections weren't sick before, they're puking ala family guy/ipecac episode now.

i predict a full field for the preakness.

I have a win ticket...... Of course I have a losing ticket on the other 19 that I bought to hand out at my derby party... Pretty much the only way I'd play that horse.

Agreed, but today is the day that everyone plays. And for many of those people who don't usually play and have friends or family that are born on August 16th. They are all laughing to the bank thinking this is the greatest game in the world.
