Fearless Derby Picks

With no more than the usual lack of insight, I offer
my annual Kentucky Derby Selections:

1. Curlin
2. Circular Quay
3. Nobiz Like Showbiz

longshot: Sam P

If Circular Quay stays up over 10-1, that would be where
my money will be invested at 5:30 pm. Something tells me this horse is
sitting on a live race.

I'm going with win, place, and show. I think by picking those three I have
a fairly good chance of something.

Op --It's funny that they show-up in every race I've ever seen?--

I guess there will be no steaks for the clave this year..............

not on the backs of those animals. Overall, not a bad day, but a significant
dive in the Turf race and the Derby.
Maybe we can serve really good hamburgers!g

When a race has a horse called "Any Given Saturday," I'd take that as a
very bad omen, bettings-wise....

Hey Tom, I know you told you were practically born on the track.
I was wondering if you ever won laying $$$ on the Derby?
I was also thinking it might make more Street Sense to bet the Preakness.
btw: never placed a bet on the ponies.

Best Derby Days ever: 1986(I think), Ferdinand. Put $200 on Ferdinand at
19-1 with a book. It was a good
score....I had lots of friends at the bar that night(and on well into the
following morning). 1994, don't even recall Derby winner. All I remember was
that it rained, a lot, the track was muddy and I was up around $2500 by the
time the Derby was run. As I recall, I put about half of it back onto a safe
sort of place bet or something and won that.
The wife spent most of that one on stuff I can't recall, but I did get a
Thomas and Thomas fly rod to fish Penn's Creek with. Generally, most of my
Derby Days have been lackluster, win a bit, lose a bit. I usually bet most
of the card leading up to the race, so I can be a bit short by the race
itselfg.

Wow 19-1....great story!
I do remember Ferdinand because we had a secretary (Not Secretaria)
by that last name.
