Offhand, I think the face will be between Revolutionary and Verrazano. We shall see. I take it that no one else is following the Derby.

This yr sadly I haven't been able to, been busy with work. Princess of Sylmar won the oaks. Verrazano, Revolutionary, and Goldencents probably have some serious bets riding on them but I'm leaning more towards Mylute or Charming Kitten to win the "Run for the Roses". At this point It's just a matter of which horses will run better on a really muddy track.

Charming Kitten all the way!!!

Whatever happens, I'd love to see a Triple Crown winner for the first time since 1978!

 

[riffjim4069]

Charming Kitten all the way!!!

Dammit Bill...always your mind in the gutter.

A massive crowd of 151,616 on-hand for today's mud-filled race. I honestly have no idea which horse is better running in the mud. We shall see.

 

[riffjim4069]

I must say that Orb is really find looking horse. But can he run in the mud? I think it's safe to say that the track record will not be broken today.

Ain't they raced yet?

No, the horses are just now coming out of the tunnel. They'll soon have the call to the post followed by the playing of My Old Kentucky Home.

The late money came in on Orb.


AND THEY'RE OFF!!!!

Palace Malice leading the field

 

[riffjim4069]

It's ORB! He came from way back in the pack and won on the outside.

 

[riffjim4069]

Those are some muddy horses and jockeys.

 

[Teehar]

What horse was Rick Pitino's?Where did it finish?

I'm not sure.

Legendary horse training, Shug McGaughey, gets his first Derby win!

Hopefully Orb wins at the Preakness in two weeks!! He certainly has the stamina to compete at the Belmont (June 8).

 

[Teehar]

Goldencent is his horse.I never did see where it finished.Goldensoul got second according to ESPN.If I was a betting man I would have bet on Normandy Invasion.Good thing I'm not a betting man.

It will be interesting to see what the field looks like. Orb looked great...of course, a lot of good looking horses have come up short. Offhand, I'll be rooting for Orb at Pimlico.

Apparently, Shug is a pretty laid-back kind of guy. Being his first KD win, I expected to see him look like he's enjoying himself. Has he even smiled?

What a GREAT race by Orb. Joel Rosario rode a fantastic race. NEVER touched the horse until the final 1/16th of mile.
