Not going this year - didn't get a vendor invitation for their free tent and open bar. :lol:

But I think "I WANT REVENGE" is the horse for the money.

Grew up around horses. Rode steeplechase and the track. Bobby Baffert has a looker in Pioneerof the Nile. Nick Zito and Wayne Lucas have TDS (To Damn Slow) horses. Dunkirk has good spped ratings. It's goning to be General Quarters or I want Revenge. Larry Jones doesn't have the spine to train a Derby winner - Friesan Fire to place.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

Revenge is out of the race. Sounds like a problem with his ankle?

Revenge is out? I picked Pioneer of the Nile for my $1 family betting pool. Maybe I'll actually win this year!
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

What a Derby! Second greatest upset of all time! It was amazing, wasn't it. And the jockey's res;ponse (though this was his second Derby win) was really fun to watch.

Just wish I'd have had the Superfecta - a cool $400,000 on a $2 bet!
