OT: Kentucky Derby

i got my money on Mor Spirit and Destin. I know Nyquist is the favorite, but we all know you can't make money on th favorite. What say you?

I'll let you know after my first mint julep.  Our tradition.  Big field, a bit wide open.  Enjoy the Run for the Roses brother.  I love it.

I would say that Nyquist will give you a decent price today and there is nothing in his history to leave him out of any exotics.  There are several that could win but with twenty horses, a clean trip will be a big factor.

I pick a few on a "futures" site every year and ended up going with Nyquist, Mohaymen, Mor Spirit, Mo Tom, Shagaf, and Cupid. I ended up getting VERY good odds on all 6. Cupid didn't make it to the show...so i'm down to 5. And to be honest with you...i like several others now. These picks were all made a couple of months ago. I'm sure before the day is out i will add a horse or 10 in some combination with a few exotics!

Had Gun Runner.  Nyquist was most impressive!

I had my money on this one, but he didn't place.

Very cash-flow positive race with Nyquist and Exaggerator bringing it home.  No worries-SWMBO will take care of any profit margins.  Until the Preakness; Go Baby, Go.

Fred I like your jockey the best.

Well I didn't win a dime. Had Nyquist with Destin and Mor Spirit in a quinella box...Damn!

Nyquist ran a hell of a race. So did Exxagerator!
