Favorite part besides the moves that jockey makes is Rich Strike staring down Epicenter with a glare like, “what’s up my bitch?” Like “y’all forget I was in this mother fucker?” Awesome!
May 8, 20223 yr I'm still in awe of this pass: The horse (or anything) is supposed to slow up when they point anywhere but straight ahead, but he didn't even break stride.

May 12, 20223 yr Quote Kentucky Derby long shot winner Rich Strike will not run in the Preakness Stakes May 21. Owner Rick Dawson said in a statement: "Our original plan for Rich Strike was contingent on the KY Derby, should we not run in the Derby we would point toward the Preakness, should we run in the Derby, subject to the race outcome & the condition of our horse, we would give him more recovery time & rest and run in the Belmont, or another race and stay on course to run with 5 or 6 weeks rest between races."
May 14, 20223 yr I read somewhere that when they performed Secretariat's animal autopsy the heart was several pounds larger than the average racehorse. Pumping more blood is the equivalent of being able to stand on the gas longer.
May 24, 20223 yr Well, finally watched. As anyone can tell by this thread, it was pretty fucking irrelevant.
June 12, 20223 yr And to continue the theme, Belmont was today. Mo Donegal won as the 7-2 favorite, Rich Strike finished 6th. https://www.espn.com/horse-racing/story/_/id/34076392/favorite-mo-donegal-outlasts-nest-win-belmont-giving-trainer-todd-pletcher-1-2-finish
June 12, 20223 yr Author my brother went. had a couple hundred on mo donegal so he had a really fun day. i hit the exacta but not for a lot of money.
November 8, 20223 yr Flightline went a mile and a quarter in 2 minutes flat with the jockey not even drawing his whip. Fantastic performance.
May 2, 20232 yr was looking for a derby thread. wasnt sure if it would be here or gambling. who you got? my longshot bet is on disarm. my pick to win right now would be between tapit twice and kingsborn. ive always liked desormeaux so would love to see confidence game win, and his brother was the jockey on curlin (who is the sire of skinner), so skinner i'm also pulling for.
May 2, 20232 yr To me, Practical Move looks like a good value at 10-1. Won last 3. Top 3 in last 6 starts, so will be in my trifecta picks.
May 2, 20232 yr Also, agree on Tapit Trice being up there. My long shot might be Cyclone Mischief at 30-1. Has pedigree to go full distance. Drew tough position though at 21. Edited May 2, 20232 yr by Mullet Free

Quote Practical Move won't run in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday because of an elevated temperature. The scratch was announced by Churchill Downs on Thursday. The colt trained by Tim Yakteen was the early co-fourth choice at 10-1 odds. That moves Cyclone Mischief into the 20-horse field. The colt finished third in the Florida Derby and was second in the Fountain of Youth. He has two wins in seven career starts for trainer Dale Romans. Practical Move, the Santa Anita Derby winner, galloped on Thursday morning and practiced standing in the starting gate. Earlier in the day, Yakteen said things were going well. He did not immediately respond to a text message from The Associated Press. The Southern California-based trainer still has Reincarnate in the Derby. He took over that colt's training from Bob Baffert, who is serving a two-year ban by Churchill Downs Inc. for a failed postrace doping test by Medina Spirit, the 2021 winner who was later disqualified.

May 5, 20232 yr the deaths have cast kind of an ominous tone over all the races that day. i dont blame them for erring on the side of caution.
May 5, 20232 yr I have win bets on Derma Sotogake (17), Angel of Empire (14), and Mandarin Hero (22). If I win any on the Oaks today I’ll probably add Tapit Trice (5) and Mage (8) as well as putting some more on Derma. Edited May 5, 20232 yr by IPoopOnWhoop

I’m here for the race. Touring a farm. The guide says she’s heard this week that Disarm is looking really good. She Also heard today that Forte stumbled in training.

Disarm will be in my bets today.
May 6, 20232 yr I’m boxing Tapit Trice, Derma Sotogake, and Disarm. Will also throw a little down on Common Mischief for the long shot.

May 6, 20232 yr Just picking names (minus any expertise) Sun Thunder, Mandarin Hero and Cyclone Mischief.

No trifecta order suggestion, Nicole? heh I'm certain the lovely and talented Charlsie Cantey (remember her in the 80s?) based her bets on all the analytics, VHS videos (no broadband Net, no WWW, no smartphones, no laptops), racing forms, magazines, and in-person stories she ran down herself, which was impressive since it was so analog compared to now. That woman got men to watch horses. Lulz.

May 6, 20232 yr Screw studying the race. Just going to put a little on 3 long shots. 1, 12 and 13. Don’t know their names.
May 6, 20232 yr 9 minutes ago, Firemans4Horn said: I like these fat trainers that are out of breath walking and being interviewed. You know her blood pressure was probably 198 over 109 walking. Dayum. I can’t watch the actual event live. Haven’t been able to in a long time since what happened to Barbaro in 2006. I just can’t watch live. It certainly is a much different event without the Baffert specter hanging on the triple crown. Verifying is a beautiful horse. My uncle said never bet on a grey horse to win. But that horse is just gorgeous. Shit they all are. But that one is particularly striking. As is Derma
May 6, 20232 yr I think there are four grey horsies. That seems like a lot. King Russell is probably best of the long shots. Mage is supposed to be super fucking fast but inexperienced jockey. Confidence Game supposed to be good on edurance. Derma Sotogake it’s important not to go too fast too early in race for him. Cyclone Mischief has new jockey as of today after Forte was scratched. Just hoping for clean race and no injuries. 7 dead horses at Churchill this week (includes the one today.) 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

May 6, 20232 yr I had Tapit and Derma. Wife had Mage and Two Phils. It all goes to the same place so I’ll take it.
May 18, 20232 yr Only 8 horses. Quote Kentucky Derby winner Mage is facing a fresh set of horses in the Preakness in a situation not seen in more than half a century, and he's the early favorite to beat them. Mage was installed as the 8-5 morning line favorite at the post position draw Monday. He's the only horse in the field of eight set to take part in the second race of the Triple Crown two weeks after running in the Derby. It's the first Preakness since 1969 with just one Derby horse. Majestic Prince won each of those races 54 years ago, a feat Mage will try to duplicate. https://www.espn.com/horse-racing/story/_/id/37657215/kentucky-derby-winner-mage-opens-preakness-favorite
