    Perfect weather up here for the races. My 10y.o. won her race. Pleasant surprise. She usually runs 2nd or 3rd

    Good job. I did mine in a hurry and somehow left Cherry Wine out when I made up the combos. Shut out except for a little neighborhood bar pool.

    I hope we get to see a rubber match in three weeks, it could be quite memorable at a mile and a half but Nyquist could lose substantial value with another loss so might be held out.

    Rubber match would be fun but again I will hope it's wet as that changes things,,also I was trying to see if anyone was coming on late and it appeared even though cherry wine was coming that exaggerator was pulling away,,,,we will see if there are any new shooters at belmont,,,,going to be fun,,,hope you guys made some money

    didn't go well

    I wasn't able to check in but I wound up betting nyquist to place and to show (only had 30% of show pool yet paid 2.2, bizarre), along with these exotics



    05/21 6:16 PM Pimlico 13 EX (BOX ) 3, 5

    05/21 6:15 PM Pimlico 13 EX (PWHL) 3 / 1, 5

    05/21 6:15 PM Pimlico 13 TR (PWHL) 3, 5 / 3, 5 / 1, 7, 11


    I didn't box 1-3-5 because I wanted to save as much money as I could for the place and show pools

    if Nyquist could've held second, I would've done very well

    Exxaggerator looks like he gets shot out of a cannon, what a kick, if the Derby was 3 lengths longer he would be going for the Triple Crown...CBG nice call on Cherry Wine who came in 2nd

    Earlier in the day,,I was watching some of the other races,,,and some time after one person laid 80,000 dollars on stradivari the ticker at the bottom of the screen kept showing stradivari odds at 6/5,,,,I thought it strange that he moved from 8 to 1 to favorite and thought it was a mistake,,,

    yeah I heard about that as well, but that was in the US tote pools, I believe

    so many millions bet into that, the 80,000 didn't make a big deal in the end
