    Default Derby Day!

    Hey babylinux, who's our money on tomorrow? I was going with Uncle Mo but he just got scratched! I'm thinking Pants On Fire to show You always win!

    Female Jockey on a horse called "Pants on Fire"
    She's the big talk and heavy betting target, sports talk on morning radio spotlighted her.

    Nehro.

    If he fails to hit the board I'm going to be disappointed.
    I'll be putting an across the board bet on him.

    Actually, although she spent some time at Maryland tracks and started racing here, she's from New Jersey.

    Cool Why no one cares except these 3 races

    Interesting article from the Las Vegas Sun on the Decline of Horse Racing

    http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011...s-pony-horses/

    Heck, I'm almost 60 but it was always Boring to me. Most racing Fans are from my Dad's & his Dad's generation.

    blah...blah...blah...yack...yack...yack.....so race already.

    those jockeys may be small...but i don't care what anyone says...it takes a really big man to wear a neon pink jersey with neon green polka dots.

    I've got both Nehro and Shackleford in across the board bets.

    Hopefully one of them will at least hit the board.
