No you didn't, you felt like an @$$hole when Sedgefield didn't get up for the monster tri and you hadn't played Curlin in third.

Oh, Sedgefield was THERE for the MONSTER tri (watch the replay)... and I felt kicked in the nuts when Curlin got there (I did have it, but compared to the year before it felt wimpy.)

By the way, Ruffian thought I was smoking crack when I told her that Derby morning, then she proceeded to play that tri straight (those two over Dominican/Sedgefield.) She almost had a heart attack midstretch!

Sedgefield ran lights out in the Derby ... I was shocked at how well he ran.

I hated Dominican in the Derby ... poly specialist to the tee.

He was an OK horse that got an absolute DREAM trip. There's one bomb every year that gets that trip, that's where post positions (and riders) definitely matter.

He was one of the first I tossed.

In other words, don't listen to a word I say in regards to Derby horses. LOL

I still think he was a fluke, am amazed you had him on your ticket.

"I can think of about 20 horses that I feel fairly comfortable in saying they have no shot to win." (GPK said this)

So, Kev, are ya betting on Chalsie Whats-Her-Name on the pony horse? Cuz I'm right there with ya!!! I just hope Chalsie can hang on for 10 panels.

Anyway, I'm tossing a bunch of horses. Right off the top of my head....Cool Coal Man, Recapturetheglory, Cowboy Cal, Monba, both fillies, BehindattheBar, both Z horses. For some reason, I also cannot toss Anak Nakal. I can almost toss Colonel John,,,but not quite. Denis of Cork was my early pick,,then I just about gave up on him. But now(if he even gets in the gate)I'm back on him. But, really, at this point in time, I don't even care who wins. I'm looking forward to having a good time!
