150th Run for the Roses-Kentucky Derby

I am not into the Derby, but DAAAAMMMNNNNN, that was exciting! Wow!

 

NBC put that little cinematic trailer right at the post time. Make people wait just a little longer...

 

Put a last second gut show on Forever Young. Feels like I’m winning either way then.

 

Damn, missed my Trifecta box by 1, I had 17, 3, 4 &11.

 

Lots of contact between Sierra Leone and Forever Young.

I like when NBC actually covers the race after the race.

 

Hope you boxed some of those. Or played a superfecta. Nice handicapping.

 

Ok that was worth the wait

 

Curses

 

Thanks. Since Arlington Park was shut down, I no longer go anywhere for the Derby. Guess I should have this year.

 

I went to my local Harrah’s to bet the Churchill races.

I made a couple of long shot Exacta bets on Race 9, assuming I was just throwing money away.

Well I had 2-3-4 and the race finished 2-4-3. 47-1, 26-1, 37-1 (I believe). My buddy and I were celebrating thinking I just hit for $660 on my $6 bet.

My buddy went to the bathroom and I double checked my ticket and noticed I had accidentally bet the Trifecta for a cool $6,000 on my $6 bet.

Unbelievable!





Look at the payout on the Superfecta!
