"The head scratcher" (My Boy Jack)
Who bet all the money on "My Boy Jack" ??
NBC thought the reason was a lot of people have the name Jack or John.
30/1 morning Line. Off 6/1 . Runs 5th.

The bigger question is who put up the $$$ knowing Kent had the mount???
Russians?
Aliens?
Cashier pushed a wrong button?
I cannot figure it out.

He went off at lesser odds than Audible, Good Magic, and Bolt d'Oro.
That is just batshit crazy.

He ran well, only one who closed from the very far back despite a race that was virtually stopping.

Porchy: Yeah. That's why. Kid Rock said only because he liked the name. And I know people who did.

MBJ opened up 5-1 on yesterdays betting.......somebody went nuts & probably get $25,000 on him. It wasn't people liking his name. Those people that had Jacks name bet today.

On three weeks rest the horse was supposed to pass 19 others in the stretch? What are people smoking?
He did end up passing 14 others and I did like him at 30-1, but 5-1?

Yeah, I didn't get it.
I have a long time friend I have been going to the track with for almost 30 years. He texts me his pick.... My Boy Jack.
I replied 'LOL'.
I talked him out of it with that 5-1 yesterday 6-1 nonsense today. Talked him into Justify as a 'superhorse'. Thank GOD!
I just don't get it. Even my boy was on this horse - and he has cashed some nice Derby picks over the years. I just didn't get this BS he texted me today.
How are so many people that stupid?
At 30-1, sure. Take a shot. I don't blame you for rooting for a closer with some off track positives.
...but 5-1 or 6-1 on this Lexington Stakes pig?
I seriously had to downgrade this dudes opinion.
...and, yeah, there has been a couple instances over the years I have to grab his ass and wake him out of his stupidity - but, overall.... the guy has cashed some nice Derby tickets I have missed.

When you run around a track with a man on your back with a bunch of other horses then you can call him a pig. Till then please respect them and call them horses. (or colts or fillies or whatever applies)

Agreed. They are all athletes, whether a $3,200 claimer or a Derby winner.
They go out there and run their butt off and they all try.
Some are just better than others.

Amen. Could not get past Noble Indy in the softest of the prep circuits. How was he supposed to get past those. Yes he grows when water is added, but not that much.
