Kentucky Derby

[The Real Bingo]

Who's watching? Who's betting? Does anyone have interest in equestrian racing? Man, today is gonna stink for TV except for the Phillies at 1905, assuming it doesnt rain too much.

Lol. I only live a few miles from the track. Although I am not going in person this year, I will be watching on TV. I have been quite a few times. Its alot of fun. You've never partied until you do it with 150,000+ people.

I have a friend betting $20. 00 for me on Cliffs Edge. 4-1 odds. Shane Sellers is an awesome jockey and Nick Zito has a great history with his horses.

I am in two separtate pools from work. Coincidently I drew Pollards Vision from both pools. 20-1 odds. Not great odds but If I win i will win about 200 bucks. John Valsquez is the jockey and I won 250 dollars from him during last years fall meet. So i have some faith in him.

Smarty Jones is the favorite but I think there a several good horses.
The favorite rarely wins anyway.

Lion Heart, Castledale, The Cliff's Edge.

I love horse racing, although we never bet any money. But we've gone to Monmouth Park and just love to see the poneys up close.

Smarty Jones did it

Then Lion Heart and Imperialsm 3rd

Lion Heart burned too much early on, so Smart Jones came up from behind and won. Lion Heart's jocket said he was trying to slow him a bit, but was unsuccessful due to the crowd roaring.

Smarty Deserved the win and remains undefeated. Hopefully we can get a Triple Crown winner this year.

A horse from Philly. Wonder if they feed him cheese steaks and scrapple?

[jman01pa]

Scrapple is nasty

[osprey4]

We'll have a poll on this some time.

Hmm, never had scrapple [at least I dont think I have]. I think the horse deserves a cheese steak and a soft pretzel with some Rolling Rock to wash it down.

I wonder what a drunk horse is like.
