ok. i will brag. I had $20 on the 8. I watched the pre-lims and Calvin Burrel won 2 of those, and he won the Oaks the day before, so the dude was on a roll. They interviewed him after winning a prelim, and they asked him about the conditions for the derby. He said it should be ok, since the rail dries first, and that is where he likes to race.. I didn't know crap about any of the horses, so I dropped a twenty on a HOT Jockey to win. It was the ONLY bet i placed on the race. And i will damned if he didnt win.
It was a nice 1000 payday.
