Anyone watch the Kentucky Derby?
 

How about the guy that placed a $100,000 bet and won. That was a happy fucker!


.

I had the trifecta... keyword being had.

Xpressbet.com crashed once again this year before I could get the bet on. :1orglaugh :( :(

That dude was freaking out! lol

Was a great race. I had 7 as a primary bet and 4 as a secondary and won! woot wooot!

That jockey sounded like he really knows his shit while doing the interview on the cool down lap.

Its been an amazing day!!! :thumbsup

My favorite horse photo, Secretariat, winning Belmont by 31 lengths.

This Secretariat sure is fast.

Sounds like you need to switch sportsbooks :) Hit me up if you to use who I use.

Always love the KD. I always seem to forget that and Indy. See if I can get it at YT. :)

And there off! :)

Edit: looked, dont see it at YT quite yet.

While on YT watch some Secretariat videos, amazing horse.

lets do it :)

* Time cover.
* Newsweek cover.
* Sports Illustrated cover.
* Sports Illustrated also named him male athlete of the year! :1orglaugh

He was also racing against VERY good horses. Sham who came in second at the derby broke the track record himself while losing by a couple lengths.

At the Belmont Sham ran so hard he crapped out in the back stretch and never raced again.


.

That was pretty good. :) I was going to say Sham was a quick horse too. 2nd in the Preakness and perhaps Secretariat broke him psychologicly. But, I dont know about that :)

Also Shecky Green was off to a good start in the KD (wasnt that the famous comedian's name?) I bet Sinatra, Lewis, Sammy Davis jr, Shecky, Martin, Bishop were in the stands. As wasnt Shecky kind of an old nighclub comic who hung with the Rat Pack. 1973 was prime for the Rat Pack.

Well worth the 16 minutes for any sports fan.

I am dling the story version so I can watch it with no buffering.

Remember ABC's Wide World of Sports? They always had the build up. And indeed the story version is better than just the races alone.
