Props for having Giacomo PERIOD. I tossed him...

I also liked Closing Argument and Afleet Alex, but not to win. I was on the Bellamy Road bandwagon

Well I had him just now in the top spot.lol I had just loved Closing Arguement in his last 3 starts before the Derby. Some overlooked him because he wasnt winning everything, but if you looked at his pps he was on the board in every race. I mean he was there every time. Boy now if he could have won, I would have loved it. The money would have been great but that I had been telling everyone and anyone how much I liked him. The bragging rights ya know.

I had Invisible Ink at 55-1 underneath Point Given on a couple of tri and super tickets, along with Monarchos. PG's Derby will always be one of the most disappointing races I've witnessed.

No one will remember this horse unless you're from Chicago but I and a couple of partners pretty much bought out the super using Bada Boom making his second start on grass with Zoe Cadman up at 70-1. We got beat by a Block horse (I believe Ioya Forever) and although we had the tri as a backup (paid like 3K) we were sick to see the super with the favorite paid over 45K and there were 2 tickets cashed. Still makes me sick writing this.

Two years ago on BC day I was betting $1 tri boxes with 4 horses in almost every race. Had 3 of the first 4 finishers in a race 5 times that day and didn't hit one tri. Hit a bunch of exactas tho. Still I think the tri's I missed added up to about 7 grand.
