OT…Who’s winning the Derby?

[maysvilleky]

I’m going with West Saratoga!

 

[ThrowBackCat9]

Stronghold

 

[Doodah859]

Just Steel

 

[BlobUK]

Hopefully one of the horses I bet on!!

 

[bbncal02]

One of my favorite days of the year.

It's a beautiful day in the Commonwealth regardless of the wind and weather.

Run for the Roses, babies. Go baby go.

 

[2Dope15]

Honor Marie

 

[Fancatstik]

My nephew the big better says Honor Marie. Then doing a trifecta box Honor Marie, Resilience and Just a Touch.

My Old Kentucky Home still puts a tear in my old eyes.

 

[JPFisher]

My money is usually on Velazquez. The man can ride. So, Fierceness.

Yessir.

 

[JPFisher]

My Old Kentucky Home still puts a tear in my old eyes.

Brings a tear to mine as well.

Yep. I ran the Indy Mini half marathon today. Got to run on Indianapolis Motor Speedway and see Churchill Downs (on tv) on the same day. I love May!

 

[true blue1]

I’m going with Forever Young.

 

[bbncal02]

Brings a tear to mine as well.

I may gripe about the Commonwealth at times, but I don't care where I go, this is HOME. I could be in Paducah, Bowling Green, Lexington, London, Richmond, Ashland, or even Louisville, and I'm home.

If I ever end up somewhere else on this Earth, and pass away, you bring me home to Kentucky to rest.

Hate taking the favorite but it’s hard to bet against Johnny V.

 

[TX-Wildcat]

Hope not Mystik Dan, he’s owned by Arky fans! 😂

Multiple here. Happy Chandler singing it always made me a mess.

I told my family if I die in TN take me back to Ky and plant that Bluegrass over me.

Pope and Family is at the Derby

Absolutely

Would be cool to see gate 17 win for the first time. Only gate w/o a win.

Pope and Family is at the Derby

welcome to the Bluegrass coach

 

[bbncal02]

Photo FINISH!

 

[bbncal02]

Mystik Dan by mere millimeters.

 

[crawfords corner]

Looked like the 3 horse won

 

[bbncal02]

The favorite hasn't won at the Derby in 6 years. Bonkers.

 

[japierce]

Helluva Race

Whelp.....

Horse was bred IN the Commonwealth though so, there's that.

Yep. Plant me in Kentucky and let me be one with the Commonwealth I love. That was an amazing race.

Congrats to Mystik Dan and his stable! 🏇🌹🥃

 

[2Dope15]

Among many bets. I did have $2 to win on Mystic Dan.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Great finish. Had SL and FY not been fighting as much, they would've finished 1, 2.

 

[bbncal02]

Kentucky horse wins. Also a Kentucky trainer.

As usual, Arky has to BUY Kentucky things to be any decent. lol

 

[crawfords corner]

The favorite finished 15th 😯 That's gotta be embarrassing for that jockey.

Shocking really. He was the most experienced jockey out there just about.

Something must have happened

 

[japierce]

What did he pay, somebody came to the door?

Not sure. Looked like he got caught in traffic, but I havent watched it back

The best version EVER.

Once he realized he wasn’t winning he likely let up on the horse. No need to push the horse to finish 7-8.

 

[maysvilleky]

Great finish. Surprised there wasn’t any foul challenges. Looked like a lot of bumping.
