The Derby

Post by TheBlondeStranger »

Anyone have Derby bets this year?

I've got 18 to win and the 18/8 exacta (Any Given Saturday to win, Hard Spun second.) I thought about betting some of the undercard, but I was so bitter about not getting to make the trip up there this year (f'in finals) that I lost the urge to waste money.

No bet, but imawildandcrazyguy caught my eye, even though it is a 50-1 shot, it's the best name in the field.

Does anyone else's feed look awful? We've only had the TV for a week, so we're not sure whether we need to adjust the TV or the feed just looks like crap. The Wings game looked mostly ok, and Discovery HD looks great, but this really doesn't look like it's being broadcast in HD.

You missed your trip too huh?
This is the second time I've missed in 20 years of going.
