Break out the Mint Julips. Who you guys got?

If I were going to place a bet I'd go with Devil May Care

jayceheathman · 05-01-2010, 03:29 PM

It's raining in Kentucky so its the time to bet on a longshot.

fischbowl · 05-01-2010, 03:42 PM

I got Super Saver. I like Dublin and Paddy O'Prado as well. I'm not sure about Lookin' at Lucky or Sidney's Candy at the bookends in the rain...

iBoldin · 05-01-2010, 03:43 PM

Devil May Care for me.

PalmerToCJ · 05-01-2010, 04:59 PM

Yea I just got on put 5 buck on 4 names that I liked, lol. If I knew who Borel was ridding I would have put 5 on him but I just said f it and didn't look at anything.

Same here. I had 4,2,20 instead of 4,2,10.

jayceheathman · 05-07-2011, 06:14 PM

Noooooooo! I picked Nehro and Animal Kingdom to win and didnt put any money on it. :( They came first and second.

CashmoneyDrew · 05-07-2011, 06:22 PM

If I was a betting man I'd say Animal Kingdom.

fischbowl · 05-07-2011, 06:52 PM

Hey guys, do you know what it feels like to be ****** in the ass by a thoroughbred horse? It hurts.....

You would think Calvin Borel, winner of 3 of the last 4 Derbys, riding a 8-1 steed in the 3rd post would make a possible winner or at least strong competition....but of course he fails. I had Nehro and the showing Mucho Macho Man in a box trifecta with Twice The Appeal and of course, one horse shy yet the **** again!

SuperMcGee · 05-07-2011, 07:23 PM

Female jockey? Would.

I didn't really look into it, this year. Not surprised that Velazquez took it, though.

jayceheathman · 05-05-2012, 03:21 PM

I am going to go with Take Charge Indy this year.

WCH · 05-05-2012, 03:32 PM

I'll Have Another.

WCH · 05-05-2012, 04:16 PM

Poor Eli. He can't even do a Kentucky Derby interview about his SNL performance a few months after his second Super Bowl win without Bob Costas saying "You're pretty good, but your brother is one of the All-Time greats..."

TheBoyWonder22 · 05-05-2012, 04:20 PM

I normally pick the horse whose name relates most to my family. I picked both Super Saver and Animal Kingdom. I'd put money on Alpha, but I guess they don't accept debit and that's all I have :(

I like that choice...Borel has been great at the Derby over the last 5 years and when a horse has Seattle Slew in their heredity tree then science has a chance to be on its side too

My dad took Alpha, and he's a much better handicapper than I. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Some guy on the tv box also just bet 100 grand on Alpha, too, so there's that.

I think both of the favorites are also descendants of Slew. Bodemeister also reminds me of Burgomeister, the harness racer whose picture still hangs in my basement, so that's probably who I should have bet on.

My pick is Hansen, though.

TheBoyWonder22 · 05-05-2012, 05:24 PM

I've been saying Alpha since Monday, but the TV guy normally picks the same horse I do.

nepg · 05-05-2012, 05:42 PM

My pick would have been Dullhan.

TheBoyWonder22 · 05-05-2012, 05:44 PM

That was my second pick so not so bad. Alpha totally **** the bed.

I went with Trinniberg as a long shot for the hell of it as well as Daddy Long Legs and Daddy Nose Best. O well
