Yeah, I guess I should have listened during the Oaks telecast yesterday when they advised you to bet based on the look of the horse\'s tushies. Maybe I would have had a better shot then. I just suck at off tracks. Only way I get that horse is if I hit the all button.

Well, this Derby served one function, at least:

The Giaco-slow Derby looks *totallly* legit now.

imo -The odds were a big surprise for me too , I thought Mine That Bird was a ringer to be at least
70-1 to  99-1 & up on the board . That effort undoubtedly takes a lot out a horse and too bad the Jock didn\'t
shut it down in the late stages but Maybe we\'ll finally have a Triple Crown this year . Got to tip my 10 gallon hat . . .

To quote Roman Moroni (he of \"Johnny Dangerously\" fame):

\"There is no way this farging horse wins the Triple Crown!  Dis  somanumbatching pig had a no bizness winning Derby!\"
