You know how they have capsules of each horse. Each one gives stats and a "He'll win if" scenario. Well, my mom brought me this one of Funny Cide that she clipped out of the Saturday Chronicle. <blockquote><hr><b>He'll win if:</b> About 15 other horses come down with the flu on race day and have to scratch. ...<hr></blockquote> hahahahaha He goes on to talk about how his second against the Empire Maker in a previous race at the Woods showed he didn't have it, and a longer track isn't going to help...blah blah blah As an aside, the jockey for Funny Cide said after the Woods race againstWar Memorial, that it was Empire Maker who gave it all he got in the Woods race, not the other way around. "I think he was all out. The trainer and jockey said they didn't want to squeeze the lemon, but the lemon was pretty dry." why is it that the hyped horse doesn't win the Kentucky Derby anymore. This is the 23rd failure in 24yr by the favorite. It's almost like it's becoming a game of the big stables hyping their best.
some guy called on sportsradio on friday and called his shot...he called funny cide. no kidding!!! he called in today to gloat. unbelievable. that horse was running 15-1!!!
yeah... that was some race. did anyone see the trailer for Seabiscuit? That's a really good book and now it's gonna be a movie!
That guy is Jetliner. He's a big jets fan and horse racing expert. He calls in every year during the Kentucky derby.
on a related note, Syracuse was something ridiculous like 600 to 1 before the NCAA season last year. I lost 80$ on the Derby. God Damn it.
You probably heard them mention the email from Stacy; played Jetliner's tip with $20. Won 300 bucks. Nice!
