First Saturday in May

[RPetry 564]

Is always Kentucky Derby day! NBC will be airing the race which goes off a little after 6:00 PM today. ESPN has the complete undercard coverage. 2nd to the Breeders Cup, this is a terrific day of racing with premier horses in nearly every race.

Do not know if there are any horse racing fans on this board but for fun, lets bet a hypothetical $30 on the Derby. Entries with morning line odds can be found here...

The Kentucky Derby is race #10 on the card today at Churchill Downs.

Exotics, win, place, show bets are accepted. If anyone plays and actually shows a profit (or the least loss!), they get a complimentary membership to Shane and Jame's BDA!

I'm off to Phila. Park to visit some old friends and wager a bit of the undercard. I will post my selections later.

I'll take $50 on Bob and John to win please..:cool:

I don't bet on the ponies for real but that's who my moneees are on.

Rick are you having a best HAT contest??

Nah, you have to be in Kentucky to look like an idiot on Derby day!

Shane, the limit is $30. You are all in on Bob and John, the #7 horse with Gomez up.

My picks and actual wagers earlier.

If the #15 horse, Seaside Retreat actually wins, my next job booked will be stained with Cabot's SPF. God help that customer. And it will be my wife's fault, that is her horse, she likes the name!

Shane,

Think you and I better stick to exterior wood, neither of us can pick the nags. The best horse won in a cakewalk yesterday. Barbaro may just be a very special horse. That was one very impressive performance.
