I know you have a blind hate for Obama, but this is obviously someone leaking stuff without permission from the administration.


It's not "the Obama Administration", that's your add.

Wait............

...................what?

U.S. Officials likely filter their information through the administration. BG is absolutely correct.

With Black Onyx and Fear The Kitten scratched, there will be 19 horses instead of 20.

Looks like some longshot betting plus the elimination of 1 horse has brought the 50-1 shots down quite a bit, 37:1, 39:1, and 40:1 are the longest shots now.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

Oh is that today? Almost forgot about it

 

[BenedictGomez]

Raining HARD at the Derby right now. This makes me more likely to take some flier bets on the longshots.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Verrazano my fav pick.
Vyjack my longshot.

Verrazano my fav pick.
Vyjack my longshot.

Two longshots (14:1, 23:1) have already won in the first 4 races. Wet tracks often screw with everything.

What?

 

[Rhodes 81]

What?

Bathrooms are called toilets in Europe

 

[Desert Devil]

Gonna go with Oxbow and Normandy Invasion to win.

 

[Jersey Man]

Google drive is so clutch

 

[BenedictGomez]

This race is so wide open, there's lots of opportunity to make money

I'll go with Java's War to win even though it's a long-shot, and I'll take Charming Kitten as my (other) long-shot.

 

[Jersey Man]

Who ever is in gate 5 I'll pick to win.

Also, my friend and I were on bleeker going to a bar. All of sudden we were being hit on by a group of women who are easily older than our moms. They even howled and barked. That was a first for either of us.

I went in and placed my bets yesterday (and for a couple of other people). I had a few bucks left over and just felt like throwing it on a few long shots without even thinking about how it was supposed to rain there. One of those random bets might come through and help me make some good money here.

not Fear the Kitten

Your would-be winner... had it been in the race...

 

[BenedictGomez]

A $1 Exacta-All bet on the undefeated horse might not be a bad bet either.

His odds have gone up to 9:1 from being the 4:1 favorite, and if anything >20:1 comes in 2nd place on that bet (11 of 19 horses) it would pay anywhere from $300 to $1,150 depending on which horse crosses 2nd.

 

[Rhodes 81]

we'll i completely forgot to bet, if revolutionary wins, i'm going to feel cheated out of money.

 

[EliasFTW]

Rosie Napravnik is hot. Go My lute

You still have about 5 minutes to bet.

Rosie Napravnik is hot. Go My lute

That's a bit strong,no? She's a Jersey girly though.

 

[BenedictGomez]

My gf just had me place a $2 Win be on Mylute for her. This makes me nervous, as her record of picking winning horses solely on name + color is disturbing.

 

[EliasFTW]

That's a bit strong,no? She's a Jersey girly though.

I cant say a jockey is attractive?

 

[Rhodes 81]

So the three horses I considered getting on came in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. That's kinda interesting I guess

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Wife won $53 on $15 in bets. She had Orb for win also.

Not as much as usual, but she went to her brothers house and didn't get to watch the parade and bet purely on trainer and odds. Not shabby.
