It’s Derby Saturday. Who are your picks? I have to take a better look but so far I am routing for Justify.

Also wonder who will be wearing the most outrageous hat. Important stuff. :cool:
 
So cute seeing those damn near midget, doll-looking guys riding on those horses.
 
You sound like you're a horse girl.

I haven’t paid attention to the field for this year, so I will make my picks tomorrow. We like to do a big afternoon of drinks and food and silly hats here. The wager is always for a special dinner made/paid for by the losers.
 
Three to pick from

Justify 3-1 odds Favorite, Trained by Bob Baffert. Won San Anita Derby

Mendolssohn 4 - 1 odds. Won UAE Derby at a mile and 3/16. Trained in
Europe. Horse trained in Europe has never won the Derby, Won the UAE Derby, prep race by 18 lengths.

Audible 8-1 odds. One of Todd Pletchers four pre Derby prep race winners.
Won the Florida Derby.

There at least four other good choices. Plus the field.

Enjoy and good luck.:):)

It's been awhile for me. I've lost touch with anything horses lately. I'll get back to you on this.

Okay, I'll root for your horse then.


So, keep me posted in case you change mounts.


I talked to the HR lady at work, and she's going.


I missed the NASCAR race a few weeks back.

But Silver Gurl, were you at work when you posted this message? I mean, the way you berated the rest of people on the GB about "getting a job". Tsk, tsk. Wrongdoer.
 
Bet on the black horses. Black horses are simply better athletes.

There's a method I use at the tracks. Been some time since I've gone to a horse race. I like the thrill and energy and looking over the horses if I can. I tend to look at the itinerary and look at the trainer's and owner's history and consistently. A calculated risk of deep thought rather than impulse. Not a gambler, but I make exceptions in some cases. Even then I'm reserved.

Sometimes I just go w/my gut . Usually it's a black horse when I do that. I favor Stallions and 1/4 horses. Sometimes the American Morgan breed.
