We made her buy dinner on the way home. Spent all of her winnings.

My first derby was 1985.

My winners:

1985 Spend a Buck
1986 Ferdinand. I only bet him because everyone in southern california bet him because of the stupid dosage and experimental highweight angle. My main horse was snow chief
1987 alysheba
1988 winning colors
1991 strike the gold
2000 fusaichi pegasus
2006 barbaro

in 1998 though, i got 150/1 on indian charlie a few days after he broke his maiden at dmr (in 1997 as a 2yo). that was a painful derby for me!

in 2001 i got 150/1 again on a baffert horse, congaree, shortly after he broke his maiden in around february or so as a 3yo.

of the derbies i did hit, i thought barbaro and alysheba were the 2 most obvious going to win horses.
