Ran up to belterra this morning and placed my bets. The good news my friend and I both got enough $ from the slots to cover our derby bets. I hope to be forced into a return trip.

Riders up!

My Boy Jack 30-1 on the morning line has been bet down to 6-1.

 

People like him as a mudder with the poor track conditions.

Great race

 

Loved it all but those stupid commercials with Ashley Judd.

Got the Place. Felt good to actually walk away with money this year.

Didn't land any of my trifecta attempts this year.

OMG had the greatest time at the derby party I attended. My childhood neighbor has been running it now yearly for nearly 40 years, and though I've missed a few here and there I am so glad that I attended this year. Such a great time with good people from my roots.

I did pretty good for a change. Had the Oaks-Derby Double, a show ticket on the Oaks runner-up, two Derby exactas and had an across the board bet on Good Magic, which placed 2nd. First time I've cashed tickets on Derby in years. But I'm not sure I wasn't still drunk from yesterday's Derby party when I headed up to Turfway this afternoon.

 

Whew. Great weekend.

Was quite a week to be in Kentucky...especially in the thoroughbred industry. Between breeding shed runs and moving horses into Churchill Downs, it was good to have Derby Day to just watch races. Now, going about the business of sending some horses onward.....and breeding shed runs.
