Wicked Strong 100.00 to win
Posted By: JohnMoses Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14

Don't know who will win, but going to watch!
Posted By: cutNshoot Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Nobody else?
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Been some really close races all day! Especially, on the dirt.

The track is fast.
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
The Woodford Reserve turf finish was great.

Wise Dan at 7 years old simply does not lose.
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Like they said. He willed his way to a win.

Seven hours of pre-race gobbledygook, two minutes of action.

I got no horse this year. Where's Bob?
Posted By: colorado bob Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
I've got General A-Rod, in a futures bet.
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
California Chrome looking to be the favorite.
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Think I'm going with Wicked Strong or Danza. Maybe box those 2 with California Chrome.
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
I like Wicked Strong myself.
Posted By: jwp475 Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14


California Chrome has t he resume, Medal Count has the breeding and decent odds to bet.
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Medal Count still could bring in some good cash at Show. Good bet I think.
Posted By: poboy Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Wildcat Red just because.
Posted By: Ghostinthemachine Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
California Chrome is an impressive animal.

Gotta love the story.
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Yeah, Sounds like the owner has his life riding it him. It's the owners birthday today also.
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Yes, he is an impressive animal. Love the name DumbAzz Partners.

8k---amazing! You just never know.

That jumbo monitor is awesome.

Candy Boy
Posted By: cutNshoot Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
I picked him to run second just a head of Chrome.

1 Wicked Strong 2 Wildcat Red 3 California Chrome
Posted By: Ghostinthemachine Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
This is dominance.

I was watching the "picks" by the celebrities and about crapped when that gay bird johnny weir dressed all in white with a feathered girly hat - what a joke.

But Calvin Borel is on Ride On Curlin . . .
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Yea that guy (gay) wearing that hat made me cuss. Typical national coverage.
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Riders up!

Gary Stevens is no slouch either.
Posted By: brilite Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
I like Danza.

The cross dressing, homosexual is hilarious.
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
You have to turn the sound up all the way from the time they load the horses into the gate.

Most exciting 2 minutes in sports right here!!!

Intense Holiday. No Bet.

Chrome will take the Triple Crown
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Man CC is a lot of horse!!
Posted By: Ghostinthemachine Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
That move was incredible.

Coasted in.
Posted By: woods_walker Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Wow! That was Great! Super Horse and Jockey. Love the story behind this one.

I believe you're right. CC had more in the tank but of course the starting pace was slow.

DAP----still laughing at a great name!
Posted By: chlinstructor Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Did they say that CC's owner payed only $10K for him ? I wonder what he became worth the minute he crossed the finish line ??? One hell of a horse, IMO.
Good race, too.
Posted By: woods_walker Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Before the race they were offered $6M for 51%.
Posted By: Ghostinthemachine Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Here it is for those that missed it. Great horse.

Posted By: Salmonella Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Come on now, how many of you guys were hoping the California horse would finish dead last??????

laugh


What a dominant finish, that was cool.

The paid 8,000.00 for his mother and a 2,00.00 dollar stud fee. They are the breeders. CC mother couldn't out run you or me and his father wasn't outstanding either.

I wanted CC to win, because his owners are regular people.
Posted By: chlinstructor Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/03/14
Yep, good to see some "regular" folks win.
Posted By: dennisinaz Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
I wonder how he will do in a longer race?? Was he cruising or getting caught there at the end?
Posted By: Gibby Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
I was wondering the same thing for the Belmont.
Posted By: byc Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
He sure looked to me like he had a lot more in him and no others were really closing and CC pulled up a bit. That race was all about the far and 4th turn positioning for CC.

As Ghost said one heck of a move in the 4th.
Posted By: Ghostinthemachine Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
I think he'll win the Preakness going away, but it takes a very special horse to do it again in the 1.5 mile Belmont.

Should be fun, regardless.
Posted By: luv2safari Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
The Belmont will be his undoing, I'm afraid. He was being closed on at the last in the Derby, and it was a slow early pace. A distance horse wins Belmont.

Commanding Curve looks like a Belmont horse to me.

It may have been the word "California" that turned people off . . . but I did like the owners.
Posted By: Hoyt Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
I haven't watched horse racing in a few yrs. until the Derby. Thoroughbreds look more like quarter horses now days.
Posted By: cutNshoot Re: Kentucky Derby - 05/04/14
CC will face fresh horses in the Belmont geared for the long hall. I still think he is the real deal.
