An hour and forty minutes between the turf and the Derby? Wow.

I think that's about typical.

Within the article be aware that CD will have a pick three involving the OAKS, WOOLFORD RESERVE and DERBY.

That's a fun bet that could pay like $5 on the dollar if Einstein and Rachel Alexandra win their respective races.

oh wow, thats gives us drunks in the infield a lot of time to stock up on juleps before we get pinned to the fence by all the on rushers


-bt-

They ran out of juleps in the infield a couple of times in recent years. I think I was actually with you roaming the grounds for 30 minutes looking for a Derby julep two years ago...one year they ran out of alcohol period.

Ya they need an hour and a half to show all the pretty hats and the long lines of idiots placing $2 Show Bets

Do you mean to give us Hanks Pick ? :D :$:

Hank hit Advice last week after failing miserably all spring. He'll be talking about that for five more years.:confused:

I almost canceled my bet when he took him

What is the line, at Cannonshell.com, that Scav doesn't see the first race either day?

Thankfully, I should be there to verify Scav's whereabouts.

It's 1/9 I won't make it in time for the first race on Oaks day.

1/2 for the 2nd race.

13 races? 8pm? that's just nuts :zz: and with the time between the turf & derby, you would THINK they could still have dime superfecta wagering! :rolleyes: the people who run these racing places just don't get it!

Even a blind mouse finds an occasional piece of cheese!

Are the times in the first post accurate? I need to know if I need to take a half day on Friday so I can watch the Distaff. I ask because I also see this with a different PT.

I believe TV coverage starts at 5pm... post time is as listed above.

EDIT:
wait- the above is wrong, because derby post time is 6:04 this year

Do you know which race the Distaff is on the card? If it's the 12th then this is all a moot point for me as I get home from work right around 5 EST.

I'm 99% sure it'll be the 6th or 7th race.
The 12th will be a maiden race.
