The thing that always cracks me up is trying to find my horse in the final stretch... all the horses and jockeys... except the early leaders... are exactly the same color.

Earlier when I posted that picture of the girl lifting her top for Mardi Gras beads at the Derby, and Hair wondered if the blue bloods regret letting in the riff-raff... well, when a longshot pays and the general masses are funding the payday, I guess that makes it all worthwhile.

It was a very exciting race!

I am glad no one made a misstep, everyone stayed upright, and I hope they all come out of the race sound. That many horses going so fast, anything can happen.

The horse is named for Sting's 9 year old kid?

Works for me...besides I like Mardi Gras beads...even >a bit< of flashing if it's only in adult situations. Then again my ancestors painted themselves blue, ran neekid through the forest, and jumped through fire on certain holidays.

BTW I've been trying top get to Google news to get a write through of the race and the complete order of finish but GOogle apears to be down. Anyone else haveing that problem?

Luckily, I had a futures bet on GIACOMO in the 2nd pool a few months ago. It was only five bucks, but a $2 payoff on Giacomo pays $54.20, so I win somewhere around $130 for the five bucks. Unfortunately I had about 60 bucks worth of bad bets on this Derby. HOWEVER, my overall winning streak continues, just not as dramatically as if I had even thought to put some money on Giacomo TODAY, where his odds were TWICE as long, as they were in Pool 2 for the futures bet. THE SUPERFECTA PAID 1.7 MILLION DOLLARS. UNBELIEVABLE!
