Wow the derby this year looks like it's going to be a good one. It might even give me a spark to go. I loved Pioneerofthenile's race today and Friesan Fire wow.
Pioneer of The Nile was reminiscent of Pyro. I loved Pyro last year. He let me down. *sigh* such is life and horse racing... If you go to the derby I will NOT answer my phone from you that day. I KNOW you will be calling to bitch about the crowds, the lines, the traffic, the non-horse folks (85% of the Derby crowd) in your way. Nope, uh-uh, no way ho-zay... Best seat in the house for the Derby is the livingroom recliner - got to the OTB early to bet, then home!
How about the office chair a plate of nachos and youbet.com Or maybe if the Tarra's come to there senses we may get to ride one
The 1997 Derby Field had 3 greys....Silver Charm (who won), Free House and Deeds Not Words. This was probably one of my most favorite Derbys since I am grey horse obsessed....lol I really like Old Fashioned...probably my favorite right now. I also like Fresian Fire (I would LOVE to see his sire A.P. Indy finally get a Derby winner - and Larry Jones too). My other 2 on the watch list are Munnings and Stardom Bound - it will be interesting to see how the filly stacks up.
