Here is a list of the horses and their odds:
1 Supah Blitz 50-1
2 Brancusi 30-1
3 Sir Cherokee 15-1 <------eliminated due to injury.
4 Atswhatimtalknbout 12-1
5 Peace Rules 8-1
6 Funny Cide 15-1
7 Offlee Wild 30-1
8 Buddy 8-1
9 Indian Express 12-1
10 Lone Star Sky 50-1
11 Domestic Dispute 30-1
12 Empire Maker 6-5
13 Eye of the Tiger 50-1
14 Ten Cents a Shine 50-1
15 Outta Here 50-1
16 Ten Most Wanted 6-1
17 Scrimshaw 15-1
I think I will pick Funny Cide to win.
Giddy up!
My psychic powers tell me that an small metorite will smash into the track during the race; thus they will all lose.
I’m gonna go with Empire Maker. He’s got a couple things working against him: he’s been the favorite, and favorites almost never win the K.D.; and he also bruised his leg earlier in the week. But apparently he’s been looking good in the workouts despite the leg, and he’s my pick.
I think DreadCthulhu may be a spokesmen for the American Association of Pet Food Manufacturers.
I’m gonna go for Peace Rules.
Empire Maker was acting up in training earlier this week and almost threw his rider. His trainer is talking very, very big about him and dismisses the training hijinks as exuberance. We shall see.
I just wish I didn’t have to be at work during the race. Having a julep and watching the Derby has been one of my favorite activities for years.
Ten Most Wanted will win. TMW and Empire Maker and similiar horses and the favorite never wins.
Atswhatimtalknbout 12-1 to show, 50$ please.
I’m going with Scrimshaw, because… well, ANY Wayne Lucas horse at 15-1 is worth betting a few dollars on.
Ten Most wanted is going to win. I’m basing this on the fact that he’s got Pat Day riding, and he won the Illinois Derby.
Of course, I never win at the track, so I’d wouldn’t bet very much.
Peace Rules (they’re on the track,will this post in time?)
I’m changing my vote: Ten Cents A Shine is my horse now. At 50-1, my $50 shold bring in a cool $2,500. Also I think D. Wayne Lukas is due.
2nd Law, Pat Day is one of only three jockeys ever with 8,000 wins. He’s a safe bet.
AND THEY’RE OFF!
And the winner is Funny Side!
HOLY CRAP!!!
I WON!!!
(Of course this is the ONE Derby I didn’t actually place a real bet on!)
Damn!
And now I’ll bet his owners are sorry he’s a gelding!
oops!
Yikes! Good Call!
…and when I say D. Wayne Lukas is due, by “due” I mean “washed up.”
lol
Damn damn damn!
I can only console myself by realizing that if i actually had gone down the block to my local OTB and placed money on Funny Cide, he wouldn’t have won.:dubious:
Oh, argh, came in third. Good call, Lola!
Well, hope springs eternal…will this cutie be at the Derby in 2005?? (this is my brother’s new baby, sired by Flying Continental. I’m such a proud auntie. 
Looks like he has a big head, heh.)
