Same trainer won the oaks and derby. Maybe he’s the next super donor…
OT…Who’s winning the Derby?
- Thread starter maysvilleky
- Start date
Fierceness was 3rd at the 1/4 mile. 3rd at the 1/2 mile. Moving for the lead at the 3/4 mile. At the mile it got 5 wide and he was overtaken by the other 4 and that was all she wrote.
Had they finished 1 & 2? There would've been. Now, it really doesn't matter that much.
Kenny McPeek is a grad of Tates Creek High School and UK.
I think I just saw $39 for win. I think that’s for $2 bet.
I don't know if yall watched this race, but W.T.F. was the jockey of Sierra Leone doing? He not only cost HIS horse the race, but also cost Forever Young the race. All the jockey of Sierra Leone had to do was run straight down the stretch, but instead ran an extra length or more because he angled from wide all the way over to the rail, and made contact with Forever Young multiple times down the stretch.
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd think someone made sure Mystic Dan won this race. I've been watching the triple crown since the late 60s, and I've never seen so much contact affect the outcome of a race. Glad I wasn't betting on this one, though I'd have put money on Mystic Dan, Dornoch, and CATalytic if I was at the race.
What do serious horse racing peeps think?

Had $8 on Mystik Dan got me $150 off the W.... first W ever at the Derby.
Huge day for DraftCat

Thats what I was saying as they were running down the stretch!! What was the Sierra Leone jockey thinking?
Harry Hogge : No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'.
So many great names in this Derby. I usually pick a set by name and a set by stats/look/feel and write em down for fun beforehand. Used to have a pool with the family before they all went on to their rest. Grandparents raised horses in Illinois
Always my favorite part of the race. My grandmother had no physical attachment to KY. Had only visited. But she loved the singing of MOKH on Derby Day.
There's nothing like your first derby dub. Mine was Giacomo at 50-1 in 2005 and I've been chasing that high ever since. 😂
I understand your feeling was there to see the Secretariat win in 73. Can’t tell you how many races I’ve gone to now.. did have them in an exacta.
Big Red. The best of all time.
We should use Secretariat's blue and white checkered pattern on our school uniforms! Everyone will love it since it honors our great tradition of horse racing and excellence....
Yeah missed it by one horse, who I put in my trifecta bet. Spent the night imagining what I would’ve done with the extra $8200.
I agree. Kentucky is my home. Because I am not married and have no kids, I even have a piece of paper that I keep in my purse that says exactly that. If something happens to me anywhere else, bring me home to Kentucky.
GO BIG BLUE AND
COACH POPE, TOO!!!💙💙💙
Yes, the very best I can remember was the last time Happy Chandler sang it on Senior Night. Besides the players, cheerleaders, other workers, PLUS 23,000+ fans in Rupp Arena and not a dry eye in the house!! That's what we've been missing about our basketball team/program...the emotion of loving our school, team and State!!!❤
