I was wrong, sort of, on Scat. I don't think the foot problems had anything to do with a poor performance, but I was wrong about the distance issues. He was sitting pretty early, but tired out.
I, too, was wrong about Curlin. Nice performance. I was also wrong about and screwed arounf too long on getting my money into the WinTicket Pick 6 players pool. A $10 investment paid out $82 and change. Would have done better with my money there than on Scat Daddy. Still a great day. I knew whrn Calvin shot to the rail that he was going to be in the race, and when he made his move on the backstretch, I knew he would win... ALostTexan

Right about Street Sense... in November last year I was at Churchill freezing my backside off and was lucky enough to witness him demolish most of these same foes in the BC Juvenile. I sat around all winter and spring waiting for one of these other horses to step up in a prep race, none did...
Right about there being too many prep races.... Right that owners are stupid and egotistical... Running a horse in the derby just for the sake of being there is insulting to the fans of racing. Right about Curlin and Hard Spun and my 4 horse ex/tri box... Right that the Derby is the single greatest betting race ever!! Wrong on about everything else I do in regards to betting horses!!

Had the top 2 in a nice 20.00 box. Wrong in throwing out Curlin, and Imawildandcrazyguy for fourth? Whodathunk? Had to go pretty far down for any of my tri picks.
Great trip for SS, Hard Spun ran a great race. Couldn't someone have slowed SS just a little for me? It seemed so easy, or is Borel just that Magical? Great ride, but he should finish the race before celebrating.

I was wrong to throw out SS and Curlin.
Also wrong in my analysis of Circular Quay. I was right about Hard Spun and what he was going to do though.. doesn't make me feel any better.

disappointed with Nobiz. he was a clean 4th, with a clear path to the lead and faded.
dissappointed in great hunter. i thought MAYBE he'd have chance from the 20 gate. congrats to hard spun, i completely tossed him. i tip my hat to him. nice effort from curlin. i just didn't know what to expect. BRAVO ! to street sense ! and connections.

i was right about hard spun and street sense. just wanted those two in the opposite order at the finish--truth be told, had hard spun not been by danzig, no way i'd hope to see rick porter in the winners circle...
was right about pletchers horses. also about stormello learning how to rate. was wrong about curlin--i hoped for a good finish from him for oaklawns sake (i want to see gr 1 by the arkansas derby) but i didn't see him getting into the top three. and i sure didn't see imawildandcrazyguy in the super!

Right about Street And Calvin. I knew he would win!!
Right about Scat Daddy and that bar shoe,freaking Pletcher!' Wrong about Curlin, thought his 3 starts and trip would get him. Wrong about Hard Spun, he wasnt even on my radar. Right about Rated Fiesty Wrong about AGS/Cowtown Cat lighting the board Very, Very, Very right to throw my whole Derby money on Street and Calvin....$100 on the nose. I just couldnt figure out tri/supers so I said to heck with it. All I ever bet on the Derby is $100, anything more than that is to rich for my blood.

Completely wrong about Hard Spun. Had him in my top 5, but thought he might get cooked. Fully expected Stormello and No Biz to be the pace setters. Fairly right about some other things, but the worse thing I was wrong about was that I had 3 of the 4 races right in the pick 4, but lost by singling Pussycat Doll, the 1-1 fave and here is the truly horrendously stupid thing about that. I had a win and place ticket on Hysterical Lady, the horse that won that race. (have mercy on me Mr. BTW and Hooves. I promise not to ever do it again!!!). Only cost me $4700, but it's only money, right? Even so, I had a great day. Is there anything like the derby to get your blood pumping?

Wrong about Cowtown Cat
Right to draw a line through the Blue Grass for all parties, right to play the lynchpin angles of my handicapping life (third off the layoff, win over the track, and recent sharp work over the surface) and pick the logical Street Sense, right about Hard Spun and Curlin. Might fold the tent and call it a year for wagering
