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

				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!

I have that one too!  We just ran up to Keeneland to place our family's bets.  Between the 5 of us, we have money on Hold me Back, Chocolate Candy, Dunkirk, Pioneer of the Nile, Friesan Fire, General Quarters, Atomic Rain, and Desert Party...mostly box exactas.  Good luck to everyone!!

				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!
