I’m going to root for the Bahamian trained horse. I think it’s the number 13. I don’t have money on the race so it doesn’t matter.

I wouldn't watch a horse race for cash. Well, I would if it was enough cash, like $10.00 or so, but I wouldn't like it.

I always enjoy watching the horse races. Looked like the horse that got crowded off the rail would have a valid complaint on Mystic Dan, but guess not.

I follow the horses a bit, especially the big races like the Triple Crown, Travers, and Breeders Cup. I've got the Twin Spires app from Churchill Downs so I can bet, and I do fairly well. A little knowledge and a lot of luck.I don't bet huge, a lot of $2 and $5 exacta boxes. So I spend a few hours handicapping the Derby, enter my bets, and ask my wife if she wants to bet. She looks at the entries, picks out 6 strictly because she likes the names of the horses. I take the 6 horses and box them in a $1 exacta, total bet $20. Sonofabitch, she hits it - pays $129.88! Of course, I lose all mine - two bets, total of $44, and I bet $5 across on the Bahamian trainer just for the story. To cap it off, when I check my account, I accidentally put in my wife's bet twice, so she ends up winning $258! The blind squirrel...

I’m pretty much just like you Nuevo. Love the app, keeps it interesting. I hit a couple wins and an exacta box on the undercard. Lost in the derby. Think I made about $22!

I have never gambled but a good friend that owned a restaurant was a heavy gambler. One time I was sitting in his restaurant and he asked me to drive him to the track in my Corvette. He just wanted to ride in it. So I did. It was at the track that ran Thorobreds not at the harness track (they were pretty much right next to each other). Anyway he hands me a form when we get there ( we parked right at the westerly gate- everyone knew him - they treated him like he owned the place). He told me how to go to the window and place a bet. I looked at the form and picked out a horse that I liked the name of. “Tricky Dick” and placed a $100 bet on him. Well you guessed it he won. What I didn’t understand was that I placed the bet on him and the odds were like 24 to 1 but it only paid off like 19 to 1. The odds change I guess. Anyway I collect the money and my friend tells me “don’t get sick like me now” I never bet again.
He bought his restaurant for $120,000. He lost it years later and the fellow that bought it told me that he owed the bank of India over $2,000,000 on it.
He was a sick gambler but one of the nicest people I knew. He lives somewhere in Florida now.

I lived in Lexington, KY for several years and went to the Derby twice. The infield, of course, wild place.

None. Sorry to disappoint you. And Baffert is still banned.
