    You can thank me later.

    Thanks for nothing...
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    ha, bet on bovada, which sucks. That said, the entire system on there sucked. Had 13 to win (enough to hedge all my bets), then Did 5 and 12 to show. So it was basically a trifecta box but 13 had to win, so I think the odds very slightly better than a trifecta box

    well thanks...for nothing.

    anyone here ever attend the Derby? I've been to the Belmont a bunch of times and been to Louisville and was just wondering how difficult it is to get around before and after the race if you go.

    it was like the lowest exacta and trifecta payout for the Derby in a long time. the top 3 favorites came in so not gonna make much anyway. Derby is usually good for a great exacta and trifecta pay out.

    Huge list of comments could be made of this.

    Yes, I made myself laugh with each.

    Favorites have one a few straight years now. Which blows! But what can you do? You win some, you lose some.
    And you are absolutely correct, when the favorite is out of the money at the Derby, which happens more times than not, there is LOTS of money to be made, Sadly, the last few years have not gone that way.

    what is it like getting out of there and do you usually have to stay a long way from Louisville?

    We always took an RV, and parked directly next to Churchill Downs.
    I am sure if you are looking to book a hotel, you would gave to do it a few months in advance. I would think.

    So I did win.

    I was extremely drunk. Mint juleps on an empty stomach is probably not the best idea.

    Anyone placing a wager today?
    Who do you like?

    Threw action down on suddenbreakingnews across the board. Exacta box on the 11 and 13. Also bet the 5 and 11 to win. I don't know dick about horse racing so hopefully I get lucky.
    So what exactly did you win?
    Since YOU HAD EVERY HORSE!!!!!

    Damn I was happy for you!
