Is anybody doing the Derby?

I live here and no, I'm not.


Tiago.

I'm not too far away, but I think I'll pass. Remember, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved." LOL

It's a cluster fuck of people bumping into each other to watch a 2 minute horse race. Nuff said.

Yeah, that too, but I was making a reference to Hunter S. Thompson.

Yea I know... poor Hunter.

RIP HST, but anyway, $10 for a bourbon, yeah, bullshit. Don't they make enough off of the gambling?

Yea they do, everyone does really, the bars get to stay open 24 hours this weekend.

And damn it, anybody can smoke anywhere!!! (note...just playing with the militant anti-smokers.)

Are you kidding? The infield you can do ANYTHING, nakedness, sex, drugs, you name it. This year I'm sure they will have another mud pit. Those are always fun.

Pick one:

1 Sedgefield 50-1
2 Curlin 7-2
3 Zanjero 30-1
4 Storm in May 30-1
5 I' m a wild and crazy guy 50-1
6 Cowtown Cat 20-1
7 Street Sense 4-1
8 Hard Spun 15-1
9 Liquidity 30-1
10 Teuflesberg 30-1
11 Bwana Bull 50-1
12 Nobiz Like Showbiz 8-1
13 Sam P. 20-1
14 Scat Daddy 10-1
15 Tiago 15-1
16 Circular 8-1
17 Stormello 30-1
18 Any Given Saturday 12-1
19 Dominican 20-1
20 Great Hunter

I'll take Stormello 30-1 since they are calling for T-Storms there today.

The Queen might get her bonnet wet.

That was my first choice. Then I changed it because I liked the jockey on Tiago better lol.

Just reading through the list, the name "Zanjero" jumped out at me. I'll go with Zanjero.

In past years I would have been paying more attention. We used to go to the track at Hastings Park in Vancouver a lot, but we stopped.

For excellent coverage of everything about the Derby and horse racing in general, the best web site is EquiDaily

I'm with Zanjero as well... simply for the 'Z'

<Like Scat Daddy a lot too.

I would like to know the color of their silks.

Here's a good site...scroll down a little.

Nice search, Sigma! Many thanks!

You're welcome

Scat Daddy is looking bettah to me, but it's voodoo on colors and number, ;-)

Bet on the silks with the Va. Tech colors----

Well, I actually meant "watching" the Derby, not actually attending. I don't do well in crowds.

I have been watching ESPN and they say the track is fast, so I think I will change to Zanjero also.

what are the VA tech colors?

You didnt think they would let it rain while the Queen was here did ya?

DOH, I didn't think about that!

LOL

I'm keeping my picks. Going to a derby party for awhile. Gonna bet $5, cross your fingers.

good luck and have fun
