[litl rooster]

well they can't blame doping

LR, Now, I really need that job. I done bet my 401K on Big Brown's nose to win.

[litl rooster]

  Don't fret if it's like mine it wasn't doing any better at the bank

[Lucky Irish Tom]

It's okay TLD, the 401K funds manager made the same bet, he just called it investment profiling! 

[Texas Lawdog]

You guys are making me feel not as broke as I thought I was.

[litl rooster]

  See..... Life is Good

[Texas Lawdog]

A chicken in every pot.

[Ozark Tracker]

wouldn't ya have liked to got the Trifecta on that race,  reckon what it'd been worth

[Lucky Irish Tom]

I think they showed it briefly at the end OT, I want to say it was paying in the neighborhood of 3,000 to 1

[litl rooster]

  Paid $1310.  from what I found

[Pony Racer]

The winner was 38 to 1

Imagine betting 100-1000 on that sucker - nice payout!!

[Lucky Irish Tom]

My dyslexic brain probably transposed the numbers Roo and put the 3 first.  I wonder if they had anybody hit it.

[Texas Lawdog]

My wife has a friend whose husband has had a horse in the Derby a few years ago.

[litl rooster]

Opening line on the horse was 50-1, Heck I wanted Big Brown to win, but I would've drop $10 on a longshot like that.

[Texas Lawdog]

That would be a tidy little sum to win.

[Trinity]

I thought Big Brown was UPS's nickname.  Shows how much I know.

[Texas Lawdog]

Dale Jarrett drove that Big Brown.

[Trinity]

Oh, so I'm not that far off course.  Just wrong thread.

[litl rooster]

Trinity you are right on the name, but his tracking devise shut down at Belmont

[Ozark Tracker]

saw the trainer on TV questioning if it could have been the Jockeys fault.  gonna make it tough for him to get a ride if they can get the blame shifted on him.
