imaginary Kentucky Derby bets here
 

To play, pick a horse in the poll.

Make a post if you want to notate a simulated wager.
Even though these are play-bets, let's try to gamble only amounts we would actually gamble.

I'm putting all my eggs in one basket...$40 on Street Sense.

Something told me to bet a box of ziti on it, but you know, it's hard to rationalize possibly wasting money on something as difficult to pick as a horse race.

My girlfriend is really into horses, and riding and everything. I always make fun of her.

All I did was pick a horse correctly.

A little luck and a little skill was involved.

Does your girlfriend like boxing? Have the fight on?

I gotta get back to the festivities.

During the telecast of the Kentucky Derby yesterday, the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for a nearby county, thus the race was interrupted for nearly half of the run.

I suupose everyone heard that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, attended.

I won't claim I would have backed the winner. I definitely would have backed Scat Daddy.
