FUCK!

Forgetting the odds, biggest upset in the Derby in my lifetime. Not a single handicapper with a clue would/should have picked that horse to win the race.

Was easy $ for those who typically put every horse on top of the race time favorite in an exacta. That 20$ wager today returned over 2k. Unfortunately I was NOT one of those people. I was one of the people who had the favorite on top. Sucks to be me.

Not sure if horse racing is a sport and if jockeys are athletes but this was an incredible horse and jockey performance.

Was at Keeneland last weekend. That was fun. Definitely nicer than Churchill.

What a run by horse and jockey yesterday.

I did think about you. Was with a very big group or I would have looked you up.

We walked in with Chris Collinsworth whom had his eyes on all the sundresses.

Now that I think about it, we were in Myrtle Beach last weekend.

Hope you had a good time.

I don't blame CC at all.

Horse racing is not a sport and jockey’s are not athletes.


But, I do like going to track and betting on races.

Seems like a mystery novel so far this year. "Dogs barking at the dead horses in the night."

Not the Derby, but worth watching imo, in case you missed it yesterday:

What wasn't worth watching was Baffert's horse (Havnameltdown) in the 6th race. Trust me, I watched it live. The jockey (Luis Saez) is lucky he wasn't hurt (or killed) much worse.
