Epsom Derby!

[WinterTriangle]

Did anyone wager/watch?

"Sent off at 6-1, Workforce set a track record for Epsom's hallowed 1 1/2 miles on good to firm ground in 2:31.33. The old record of 2:32.31 had been set by Lammtarra in the Derby in 1995, a performance that had cracked Mahmoud's longstanding 1936 record

HUGE crowds, double decker buses, seems like there are a lot of racing fans there. They sure do turn out for their big races.

The rabbit turned in a great performance LOL

Workforce was awesome at 1-1/2 miles--DRF described it as electrifying:

Yes, most of the posts about it came right after the race. The thread was called Derby 2010.

Phenomenal race by a fantastic horse. "He ran a blinder!"' as they like to say across the water. Wonder what kind of Topspeed figure he got for the race.
