Definite Derby Throw Outs

[fpsoxfan]

There's no doubt that this is not a great Derby Field. But the pulse thing is a little over the top. Derby Day is a blast. I don't care if there's 10 donkeys going into the gate, it's going to be exciting. This will be my 20th Derby since I began following horses and there hasn't been a year when "Derby Day" hasn't been a good time.

Even if someone doesn't like the Derby itself, how about the undercard?
If people really feel this way about the Derby than maybe you're in the wrong sport.

If you're referring to what I said, I don't think you understand what I meant.

My point was that Derby day is awesome and if you have a pulse, you'll enjoy it regardless of how crappy the field is.

No, not you or anyone specifically, I was more or less referring to comments I've heard in general about this being a crappy derby.

Kentucky Derby is never crappy....nor is the "new & improved" F.P. O.T.B.!

I totally agree...it's like the Masters. Oh course this years Masters is alot like this years Derby....not an exciting field with leaders from unknown parts of the sport.

Anyway, as someone said the undercard usually is great and lots of great races leading up to the Derby and by the time they sing Old Kentucky Home I'll have a pick and be ready for a great race.
