It was Essential Quality that MM bet on. 

I would assume so.  His promotion was to buy a mattress and if the favorite wins you get your money back.

A friend (female out in California) who always bets on the Kentucky Derby did a #7, #8, #9 Trifecta Box for $12 ($2/bet).

That turned out to bring in $3,300 for her $2 wager that won, while the other $10 was flushed down the drain.

She also placed 3 $2 bets on #7 to Win, Place, & Show and picked up another $200+ from those three bets.

She informed me that this was the best that she's ever done on the Derby. (No shit.)

I don't know, Bob, maybe you are the problem in horse racing.  All these positive tests, your lawyers working overtime. Like the bank robber pissed off about high crime rates and pledging to fix it.

I expected better from Ashley Schaeffer. Will not be purchasing my next BMW there.

My dad (RIP) never liked Baffert for whatever reason(s). Not that has any bearing on anything but I can totally see him saying, “Yep. I knew it.” I am aware that there is more widespread stuff like this in the sport. Not naive about it. My dad just didn’t care for Baffert. Lol.

seeing this live was wild

 

It was on the back stretch.... so didn't really get the best of look.. 

but the aftermath and wondering wtf was going on.. horses on the loose and trainers running after the jockeys..

 

they only had one ambulance... surely a change in rules after this...

luckily no horses or jockeys were seriously injured.

they gave all our betting money back....some dudes were fuckin heated 

weirdly i won and picked the winning horse, but i laid other bets down and lost those.   getting my money back won me money... technically.. haha

Medina Spirit dies after a workout at Santa Anita. Wonder if any topical ointments were in use at the time.

And now the Kentucky Derby recognizes Mandaloun as the winner of the 21 Derby. I'm guessing my sportsbook wont be retroactively paying me for my wager on Mandaloun

I like Woodford Reserve bourbon just fine. They basically just aired a commercial for them during the broadcast. They had everyone drinking mint juleps out of those little cheap copper cups, the kind I once got with some promotional offering with a bottle of their bourbon. There has to be something better. I wound up throwing them away.

Meh, I don’t drink mint juleps anyway. Or Kentucky mules. But if I wanted to impress someone, I’d find better quality copper mugs.
