Kentucky Derby 2009

They scratched I Want Revenge...I traded him for Dunkirk. Dunkirk is too lightly raced for me, but he has good works and has some early money...

I also traded in Advice for Hold Me Back. They are owned by the same guy (who also owns the 3, Mr. Hot Stuff). Of the three, Hold Me Back has better connections, a better history of quality races and better workouts.

Looks like a nasty one today; I just got finished watching the Humana Distaff and the track doesn't look pretty.

I got that one right. I also have a live pick3 with him, the six in the tenth, and the favorite in the Derby.

[RecycleMichael]

Number six won the tenth...I also had the exacta and the trifecta...bet $4 and won $78 on that race.

Now I need the favorite to win the derby for the pick3.

My six horse derby trifecta is 5, 6, 10, 15, 16 and 19.

Wow!  That was a cool race.

Wow!  That was a cool race.

I bet there are some odd's makers scratching their heads saying "Never saw that one happening....."

I never gave Mine That Bird a second look, just thought it was a field filler.

So the filly that won the Kentucky Oaks by 20 lengths, Rachel Alexandra, will run in the Preakness.  And Calvin Borel, who just happened to ride Mine That Bird in the Derby, will be on board.  (Pretty rare for a jockey to change horses after a Derby win, but he'd been Rachel Alexandra's jockey long before he climbed on the Bird.)

Interestinger, and interestinger...
