Kentucky Derby

[Truncheon]

Who's playing?

Gone with the Gulfstream form and dutched on White Abarrio@11/1 and Charge It@14s

 

[Outsider]

Tiz the bomb ew at 33/1 steps up in trip in its hatrick bid.

 

[edgt]

Some fairytale result.
Shades of Calvin Borel on Mine That Bird.
Early fractions suicidal but when your luck is in, it is in.
Another boost for claimers.

This year is the 50th anniversary of Secretariat’s triple crown. He broke the track record in each of the three legs, and each of the records still stands.

Ive watched most of the trials and the top 2 in the betting look to have it between them Forte and Tapit Trice

Best outsider i feel is the Japanese horse Mandarin Hero, was 25s with SB (going 5 places) but might be shorter now with 4 being scratched

Love Kentucky Derby night, i'm looking forward to it more than the Guineas

Rumours of Forte being under the weather...keep in mind

Mage each way. If he can break well he'll be tough to keep out of the frame.

I’ve loved American racing ever since I saw Royal Academy on a friends telly in Birmingham years and years ago!

Echo - they certainly get their moneys worth over there don’t they, fourteen races at CD on the day.

I haven't been following this thread because of being busy in other matters but got a break last night and, totally coincidentally, watched the Secretariat movie.

A bit schmaltzy but worth watching nonetheless.

It's still hard to believe what the horse did in the final leg of the triple crown.
