yes.

i know nothing about horses but it's fun.
an infield ticket will cost you like $50 bucks and you roam the grounds where there are a bunch of tents for music, beer, food, juleps.
the locals/die-hards will have the rails staked out with their chairs and such as they get there ASAP. even so you can see the horses/races no problem.

definitely a bucket list item to check off.

I like Bravazo as an underdog in this race. Big odds at 50-1. He has a very good sire in Awesome Again, a BCC Champion.

Bravazo won the Risen Star Stakes at 21-1 odds, beating Noble Indy. I think you can throw out what he did in the Louisiana Derby. He's a good looking horse and has a graceful running style. Watched him run through traffic in his latest workout, and he did it seamlessly. I can see him surprising in this race.

Trainer Lukas is a four-time winner of the Kentucky Derby, but his last was in 1999.

Do you give Classy Act a shot to wire the Oaks? Monomoy Girl should be tough in there. I may take a shot with Eskimo Kisses and hope the front falls apart. I am against Midnight Bisou.

Mildly amusing.


Horse sues former owner for $100,000 after being left severely underweight and suffering from lice


Publication Date 05/03/2018
Source: Independent, The (UK) (Online)


A horse is suing its former owner for neglect after it suffered “extreme pain, distress and permanent injury”.

The equine, named Justice, is taking Gwendolyn Vercher to court to recover $100,000 (£74,000) in damages to pay towards future care costs.

The stallion is represented by the Animal Legal Defence Fund in Portland, Oregon.

Justice, who was called Shadow at the time Vercher was caring for him, was found to be 300lb underweight, riddled with lice and suffering from a bacterial skin infection.

His penis had also prolapsed due to severe frostbite, according to the lawsuit filed at Washington County Circuit Court.

He will require surgery, and care for the rest of his life.

“He was extremely emaciated -- about 300lb below bodyweight for a horse -- and most significantly, he suffered from penile frostbite as a result of his exposure to the cold, and that was left untreated for months,” Matthew Liebman, Justice’s lawyer from the Animal Legal Defence Fund, told ABC News.

Vercher told the outlet she disclosed Shadow’s injuries when she put him up for adoption and paid for his care as part of a guilty plea when his new caretakers took her to court.

Any money won by Justice would go towards paying for his treatment, the lawsuit said.

Girls tough..I'll see what Abel Tasman does in the 6th remember her in the Oaks?

My four will be Mendelssohn, Good Magic and Bravazo, plus Flameaway that I already have in the futures. Two sons of Scatdaddy, one of Curlin and one of Awesome Again.

Is that 15 horses? You don't count well.

The horse I keep looking the most at is Audible for a few reasons. He's a strong horse for sure, but also that he may choose to stalk the pace and Castellano can give Justify a rough trip. Mike Smith is a vet and a pro but he can't do much if Castellano pushes him out 4-5w into the first turn or Mike will have to go to the front.

We were joking before the race that some guy is going to go home and tell his wife he got 7 bucks on Monomoy Girl and she's gonna tell him he's a fucking liar.

His xpressbet comments:

Quote:
Analysis: This year’s Kentucky Derby field is one of the deepest in memory and
particularly strong at the top. How else can you explain the reigning 2-year-old
champion at 12-1 in the morning line? While there are always some longshots to
consider for the exotics in a 20-horse field, the top of this division looks awfully strong.
I’ll focus on the winners of the three key preps – the Xpressbet Florida Derby, Santa Anita
Derby and Blue Grass.

Main Contenders: Morning line favorite JUSTIFY has been perfect in 3 starts and
absolutely can win this even if he has the lightest resume in the field. His talent can
overcome a lot of that. If it rains, he’s got a win on a wet track, and I always like to
remind horseplayers to keep an open mind to the conditions as they potentially change.
AUDIBLE has been outstanding this year, particularly in the Xpressbet Florida Derby at
Gulfstream. That’s been a key prep historically for the Kentucky Derby and produced
Always Dreaming last year for AUDIBLE’s trainer, Todd Pletcher, who won two-thirds
of last year’s Triple Crown. Respect MENDELSSOHN, but I’ll take a pass on him at what
should be under-laid odds as the second public choice.

Value Plays: GOOD MAGIC at 12-1 in the morning line jumps off the page. He’s trained
beautifully for this, and it appears trainer Chad Brad – who won the Preakness last
year for his first Triple Crown race victory – has him peaking back to his championship
form at 2. You get the nation’s top trainer and jockey (Jose Ortiz) and a very fair price.
Longshot looks go to late-runners MY BOY JACK, VINO ROSSO and HOFBURG as you
can typically expect at least one closer to get a piece of the superfecta.

$100 Wagering Strategy:
• $40 Win: GOOD MAGIC ($40)
• $10 Exacta Box: GOOD MAGIC, JUSTIFY and AUDIBLE ($60)

Happy Derby Day!

My Boy Jack is the worst underlay in the history of sports at 5-1. He has one big run and hangs like a grape. I'm sure the rain will cause "wise guys" to bet more on him.

Good luck out there!

Worst day of my life. Looked forward to this all year and can't watch or bet due to personal reasons.

The 9th looks wide open. I think the 8, 14, and 16 are live as can be at big odds.

In the 10th, Sporting Chance should be good.
