i was there too. i had a table in The Gold Room with my wife and friends from Kentucky. i loved AFLEET ALEX and DON'T GET MAD. i played AFLEET ALEX to show. my wife transcribes court cases and does plenty of CLOSING ARGUEMENT'S. she doesn't bet but bet $5 w-p-s on him. my friend owned a stake horse that was bye HOLLY BULL. he backwheeled GIACOMO from the Oaks and played GIACOMO top and bottom in exacta's for $10 each way. we never thougtht of boxing the whole 4 numbers in a trifecta or super. the tri paid $100,000 and the super was $700,000.
i still went back for the derby a few times! its the greatest event in all over sports.
