Kentucky Derby - Pick Your Horse
 

If you don't know anything about the race you probably have a better chance of picking a winner than someone who does so don't be shy.

I'll be there, third floor Clubhouse box! :)

Laywer Ron won a couple of races here in Arkansas including the Arkansas Derby. I gotta go with him.

Have I mentioned you suck? I'll be at a local track in Hershey where the live races will start shortly after the Kentucky Derby Race. First time I been to the horse races since Bwana was out here, pretty pumped.

As long as there are no changes Jazil is going to be my big bet for the day. Probably about $25 - $50 across the board as well as some other side bets to cover the contingency of Jizel not coming in the top three.

Gotta love gambling.


Do you know anything about him? Distace runner? Sprinter? Mudder?

Come on you limp nipples, just pick a horse, you don't have to know anything about them. Pick a name you like.

I need a un-scientfic side-bet for Saturday.

If I win I'll send the people who picked that horse a six-pack of a local micro-brew or a pic of me counting the money. I'll decide the day after.

I wonder which one PastorMike will vote for? :hmmm:

Steppenwolfer- just cause a guy from Spfld owns him(2nd Ar Derby) and he got a decent gate pick. SW was 30-1 on the 6pm sportscast last eve.

Gaz = Horse Feathers option

I never thought about this before, but if you give your horse a name that sounds really slow, will it give you higher odds if your horse wins, since the amateur bettors won't like the name?

If I had a race horse, I'd name it "Moseying Aimlessly", and then I'd bet money on it. The name wouldn't make the horse faster or slower, but it might bump the odds in my favor.

Yup.

Barbaro, and here's why.

Barbaro it is! :toast:

It's one helluva time out there. You should make a trip to the infield to get the whole experience. As for me, this year I'll just go to a few Derby parties. Bet with the bookies and hopefully have enough money to go out to 4th Street Live or the Highlands.

I'm going with A.P. Warrior

Heh! Those were some good times. Many brews and lots of cash. :)
