Kentucky Derby - Who Ya Got?

[enisthemenace]

Post time is 5:34 PM CST today.

Could be a wet track. It's been raining all week, though it looks OK today. Track may still be slow though.

EDIT: Just saw a live shot of the track. It's a sloppy mess. They may be able to get it to "wet fast"...at least that's what they're saying...but I don't see how.

Who do you like?

I like the 10 and 5.

The Iowa horse (J Boys Echo - 13) had a morning line of 20-1. Currently at 44-1.

Went to the meadows after work and put 120 on J Boy to win. Wanted a reason to watch and thought going with the Iowa horse was the only way to go, because if I went with anyone else J Boy would win.

Good luck to you. $120 on him right now is a HUGE payday.

Going out to Prairie Meadows this afternoon. Not sure who I'll go with. Probably have to put a bit on J Boys Echo.

Is nobody watching this thing later or what?

Probably not. If I'm not doing anything I try to watch, but I have stuff I need to get done. I just can't get into it

I'll watch, I always do. I'm not a horse racing fan per say, but I always watch the Triple Crown races. It's a pretty exciting two minutes.

A friend and I do a horsey draft for each Triple Crown race - he picks one, I pick two, he picks one more. He gets to go first because he lost the Belmont last year. $100, horse must win. None of our four win, no money for anyone. I'm waiting for his first pick to come in.

If I am by my tv I suppose I will. Horse racing doesn't come on my radar at all.

Isn't the owner of this site's father-in-law (Alba?) the owner of the Iowa horse?

 

[Doc]

I put $100 on 17. Love the derby.

I'm going with:

Win: 10 (Gunnevera)
Place: 5 (Always Dreaming)
Show: 2 (Thunder Snow)

With the track conditions though, I do also like the outside horses, as the middle of the track could be an absolute cluster.

- 14 (Classic Empire)
- 15 (McKraken)
- 17 (Irish War Cry)
- 20 (Patch)

I have some Four Roses Small Batch for the race. I give it a solid A for $30 whiskey.

I have a case of 2017 Coors Light. Nothing but the best.

Really starting to feel the 15 (McKraken).

Anyone ever had a mint julep? Would you recommend it?

I like the Matthew McConaghey recipe.

Pretty refreshing really.
