Great race! She used every ounce of that five-pound allowance.

I think I saw somebody spill a beer in the two path at the 1/16th pole, may have made the difference.

I feel like gloating. If you count every position off between predicted and actual as counting for 1 point, I score a 4 on this race. I scored an 8 for the Preakness.
Rags to Riches --> 26.413463466040085
Curlin --> 21.214931442061925
Hard Spun --> 16.568982220057546
Tiago --> 15.846836625194682
Imawildandcrazyguy --> 15.465283739166424
C P West --> 10.62046202608105
Slew's Tizzy --> 6.456110643306792
I asked my mom to put 10 on RtR to win on her way to work this morning. If she did, my lifetime ROI is through the roof.

Don't gloat and never say I told you so. It is not becoming. Just win with the same face that you lose with.

...This isn't poker. I've been to the simulcast. I see the faces people make when they lose. They're very different faces from the winning ones. The good thing is, the horses don't read your tells.
I guess "celebrating" would have sounded better than "gloating". But, given that this is a sport where the amount you win is determined by how much everyone else loses, celebrating and gloating are pretty hard to differentiate.

Well said Gary…
I told you so and / or gloating in this game just doesn’t work on any level.
Great filly AND colt in this one. IMHO, I don’t want to hear about the 5lbs making the difference. Her trip was anything but ideal. She earned this in everyway.

u know I much prefer to see a player stand up and have a definite opinion as opposed to the mouths who never say anything until after the running’s done imnho.
