Default Kentucky Derby :: What A Race!

How many people got to see the race? Man that was some deal. It is always amazing to see the tranning and tactics in a horse race and Calvin surely new what his horse to do. I mean right after the announcer said Street Sense was in 19th place he started blasting and zigging.

I actually got out of my seat at the end (i wasn't there). I was watching from my Sky Box at home.

Anyway it looked like he another 1/4 mile of burst left in him!

And when Calvin was celebrating and the lady interviewed him I meant you really felt he had achieved his dream. He was truly overcome. And you were happy for him.

He not only was happy but was giving his horse equal billing! ... Wonder how much more we will see? Any quesses?

Anyway did anyone else feel the same way...

I watched the race. As a matter of fact, I had the exacta!!! Its too bad I didn't bet it though, it paid $101 for a $2 bet. I am sooo kicking myself now!!! >
I think Street Sense has the class to be the next thriple crown horse!

Default OH my Gosh.. Fancy

You had the Exacta? ... That is why I don't gamble or have numbers. It would just rip me.

Well at least you knew your stuff on what you saw. Anyway please explain the "thriple" is that over seas?

Just want to make sure it is not in the Equinary? I will go check.

I did, I did! It was very exciting! Had me on the edge of my seat. Even my husband got into it and he really doesn't like horse racing all that much.

Wasn't it incredibly exciting!!! There is nothing like watching a horse come from behind to win. Obviously, this horse really WANTED it and pushed for it. I was screaming and cheering... what a race.
