Did anyone win $$ on the derby?

Every thread I've read, no one had MTB. Surely somebody here must have played their birthday, boxed POTN with everybody, National P3 - Rachel/ Einstein/All........

I have a friend whose Dad got the exacta cause his birthday is 8-16. If anyone actually capped the race and cashed a ticket on it they should be too embarrassed to post it.

I know someone whose automated teller machine botched his bet and gave him the 8 instead of the 6, but that was about it.

You never have to apologize for cashing. Betting random numbers won't work in the long term but short term it could.

Same story for me. I'd been analyzing it since Wednesday, and I cashed nothing.

one of the regulars at Turf Paradise had a 5 horse super box for $2 that included the top 4, nice life changing hit.

I had $27 left in my account after taking a beating on the early races. I bet it sporadically including $5 on Musket Man to show. Lost everything else but won $3 overall.

Had 20 people at a party and purchased a win ticket on every horse and handed them out with a few quick pick exacta boxes. So yes someone hit.. That was pretty much it. I went 12 deep in my P4 and failed to include Calvin. So that should show how much of a shock it was to me.

I was at a party with 12 people so listed the contenders 1-19 in what I thought would be likely odds and the top five got one horse while 6/19, 7/18, 8/17..., 12/13 were all paired. Then we randomly drew horses and I wound up with 6/19, Chocolate Candy and Mine That Bird. I hated both those horses and some girl wanted Chocolate Candy for his name so I traded it for General Quarters and Flying Private. That worked out real well. At least she felt bad and insisted on giving me my money back.

Mrs V had $2 win and place on MTB. When I asked her why, she said she bet it because she thought Calvin could do the double. She tells me this after the race of course, and not on Friday morning

I boxed Musket Man with all, I want to puke. I also boxed 5 longshots who I though were all poly horses and ended getting the 7 and 8 in there. So I had 8-2 8-7. I cringe evertime I watch those 3 hit the wire for second. I cringe even more when I watch the head on and see POTN crush both of them.

A friend of mine had $4 left on his voucher after playing lucky numbers, and put it on a 50-1 horse to win. Mine that Bird. He is convinced that handicapping doesn't work.

[geeker2]

I bet $200 win POTN and $2 back wheel in the exacta. Sometimes you just get lucky

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

I had #24 in the last future pool @ 17-1 for a duece.....my buddy "backwheel" POTH in the exacta for a buck & Rodger Wyland of "Big Board Sports" WNYT channel 13 the NBC affiliate in Albany NY had $2.00 WPS on MTB because he had a bird nest outside his house.....true story!

[Holland Hacker]

I was alive to several horses in the Oaks / Woodford / derby Pick three and Oaks / derby double and figured I would feel like an idiot if one of my top selections finished second and I didn't collect a dime so I played an $1 exacta All / 6,11,16.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy as hell I cashed but I did pick Mine that Bird (see the bookend contest thread) to finish last so it is a "hollow victory" and you just don't get the same satisfying feeling as though you handicapped it well.

[FATPIANO]

Not a penny here, Had a $100.00 Double with Rachel and POTN, also a 20 exacta box Pioneer/Musket Man, Not to worry, I will get them at Pimlico
