3. I threw a 20 on the nose of Take Charge Indy.

I didn't want to go against Borel.

4. It is hard to bet against that little pinhead....

it was reported that he was on the track yesterday walking around the rail checking out the 1 path.

5. Dude loves that rail....

3 out of the last 5 derby's---- he definitely owns the place.

6. He's got a lot of balls....

that would be the last place I'd want to be with 20 green 3YO's.

Good Luck, trumad.

12. Wow. I don't know shit about handicapping.....

Congrats to O'Niell and crew and I'll Have Another.

Glad to see Lava Man at the Kentucky Derby.

13. The more I learned to handicap the worse got at picking winners. Until I got my system.

Years ago I was the sous chef at Keeneland and I would take a mutuals clerk lady a sandwich or a dinner. She would mark my program. Her husband marked hers. He was a writer for The Daily Racing Form. Won a lot of money for a few years, he was good at picking horses that paid well. I have a couple of friend that are turf touting straight up gamblers that would study and watch work outs. They could never understand how I could beat them. I told them I took the jockeys soup.
Those folks are gone now. It was fun times.

11. First time I actually watched this thing

Great finish by I'll Have Another.

The "most exciting 2 minutes in sports" followed the most boring 3 hours in pre-game coverage.

14. First time I missed it.

Was planting my vegetable garden. Sweet corn, pop corn, bell peppers, Anaheim peppers and bush beans. This is early but it's been real warm in Denver this spring. Last freeze was over a month ago.

15. May I be the first to predict: No Triple Crown this year

Going out on a limb.
