Just got to the Oaks. Aaron Rodgers is sitting 25 feet from us. 

I will update the title. 

Who cares about him, where's Olivia?

 

[General Malaise]

those Asians love them some ponies 

yeah, but she's also half German, so she hates everything too.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I have a friend named Tom so I'll do an exacta box with the 2 Tom horses.  Still trying to figure the rest out.

You should yell "DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK" at him.  That would be soooo cool.

Olivia Munn sighting?  

Nope. He's with his o line.

Nope. He's with his o line.

doesn't get any more 'velvet' than that ...

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Just because I'm dumb as a doorknob - in the first example you're picking one horse to win, one of two to come in second, one of four to come in third, etc.?  The second example you have two horses to win, one to finish second...

Correct.  Then the same horse in 3rd and 4th bumping the others up (but usually whittling down a bit)

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I'm a donator every year and it looks like it will be more of the same.  I have no clue how to bet the trifecta, but always place and lose it anyway.  So here it goes again.  $1 tri wheel

9, 11, 13 / 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 17 / 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17

Help me out here.  I know this is probably a bad way to go about placing the bet and I'm including too many, but I'm not experienced enough to know what to change or how to fix it.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!  

Nothing wrong with that bet

And I wouldn't worry about it being too much, especially in a race as chaotic as the derby

winning but losing money certainly sucks, but I can tell you losing a big payday when you scratch off a horse or 2 to save a few bucks hurts worse

 

[General Malaise]

Got a little feeling about this Destin.

 

[chet]

Actually, I'm going to ask AR if he's related to the backup qb on the BC Lions because he looks just like him. 

 

[GOB]

Let me tail somebody in the Oaks. I know nothing so I will hold nothing against you.

Hottest jockey in the country......

Riding Destin tomorrow.

Maybe I'm a neophyte handicapper but I don't think the jockey's looks really play into things. 

 

[chet]

AR for you Packers fans.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

AR for you Packers fans.

OK, it really is Aaron Rodgers. 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Always a chance I end up changing my mind but right now gonna go with this for top 5

1. Mor Spirit

2. Exxagerator

3. Suddenbreakingnews

4. Nyqist

5. Majesto

 

[Cowboysfan8]

I don't play the horses very much anymore but I used to. Alot

I've made some money on races with horses I know nothing about just trip handicapping the pp's and looking for bad trips. Also a bad trip as a beaten fave.

Mo Tom sure fits the bill here at a price. Amoss and Lanerie aren't huge names but they aren't bums either

Happy Derby Day ...

gettin' an early start  - handy tool here to help crunch your wager costs

still debating the 'key' horse for my tri bet ... taking a closer look at Destin this morning, but still think Mohaymen has one in him.

Who offers a pentafecta?  Never heard of that before.

'Super High Five' in the modern parlance

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Just got to the Oaks. Aaron Rodgers is sitting 25 feet from us. 

I will update the title. 

Kate Upton is also there, without Verlander who is with his team in Detroit, so here is your chance.

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

OK thanks!

Any TV coverage? 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Any TV coverage? 

12:00pm eastern NBC Sports, switches to NBC around 4.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

12:00pm eastern NBC sports, switches to NBC around 4.

Awesome, thanks!

Miss living in Louisville, it was on all day, start to finish.  I need to go down there for Derby Week again.  Thunder Over Louisville, the annual fireworks show, was always an epic show/party. 22 barges fully loaded with fireworks down on the Ohio River. Awesome.

 

[chet]

at 5-1 he's a little pricey

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

12:00pm eastern NBC Sports, switches to NBC around 4.

Looks like that would make it Race 4. cool.

 

[chet]

Morning line on Shagaf was 20-1.  He's now at 64-1.

 

[chet]

I'm also going to use Whitmore (#10).

 

[Zegras11]

9/11 with 9/11/13/14/17 with 9/11/13/14/17

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Morning line on Shagaf was 20-1.  He's now at 64-1.

Good odds for a beaten favorite of the Wood. Looks like he came out a little slower than usual last time out.

 

[chet]

Leaving for the track in 20 minutes.

 

[chet]

Majesto (18) is another one.  Morning line was 30-1 and now at 60-1

 

[chet]

One of the guys uses a service and his call for the Derby is 14/10, 13, 17

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Good luck to everyone, I hope all your Derby horses win.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Morning line on Shagaf was 20-1.  He's now at 64-1.

It's because he has no shot

 

[bshell27]

Good luck to everyone, I hope all your Derby horses win.

I hope you all cash some big tickets!  I played lazy and picked 6 horses to win.  Stupid bet, but I have been so bad with the trifecta.  I haven't cashed a ticket since Funny Cide.  My kids are better handicappers than I am.  Just made the mint infused simple syrup and ready to enjoy some juleps!  Happy Derby Day!   

 

[bshell27]

That doesn't look like a bad ticket.  I'm not as high on Mohaymen as most.  They say Whitmore has looked the best in prep works

 

[Apple Jack]

It's because he has no shot

If ever there was a sign for a horse being a lock...

 

[Willie Neslon]

It's because he has no shot

Never doubt Rosario.  Best jock in the world.

 

[chet]

Track is fast. Bet speed according to my friend who knows.
