Its Derby day!!!!!!!!!!!

[conny63malies]

I am ready. The pie is on the counter , local food is in the fridge, my bet is placed .. now i just have to wait for the race to start. Anyone else watching the race today? My horses are :
1st: Revolutionary, ridden by Calvin Borel. He is ridden by Bo-rail for crying out loud on a wet track and he has six triple Crown winners in his pedigree incl. Secitariat and Seattle Slew.

2nd: Orb, well he seems to be a bit of a crowd fav.

3rd: Oxbow , he has a lot of Nasrullah in his pedigree a few triple crown winners and he is from Calumet farms.(and i am a sucker for horses bred by this farm)

I feel like a bad horse person, don't have a clue who's running. Whoever wins the Derby I hope can win the Triple Crown!

I'm going to see if I can find the race online.

I think I'll keep my eye on Palace Malice as his sire Curlin was a good horse. But, you never know LOL!

I just turned it on, it's held in Kentucky so as a Hoosier it's not very important for me...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
All the slow horses
Get made into glue

Orb fell short, placed fourth, Oxbow took the Preakness, no Triple Crown this year.
