As we’ve discussed before the Kentucky Derby is built for the long shot. A long shot who finds the extra something near the end when needed most.
The weather down there is making it difficult. Pouring rain one minute sunny the next. Just how wet is that track gona be in a half-hour.
Now none of this win place and show stuff here. The money is in the exacta on derby day. That long shot may come in second not first.
My play here is the exacta.
Anyway here’s my les than a hundred dollar ticket hoping on huuuuge returns.
$5.00 exacta box
#9 Destin
#15 Mohaymen
#17 Mou Spirit – a mudder, just in case
# 18 Majesto
60 smackaroos right there
Then
do a $2.00 exacta key
usung the
#11 Exagerator and #13 Nyquist
That’s another 32 bucks
Then just in case spend 4 bucks on an exacta box of the above mentioned 11 and 13 horse.
at least i had the $2.00 exacta
big whup
But at least the winning horse wasn’t owned by that sleazy-looking guy with the white hair and sunglasses. I mean, I don’t know, he could be the nicest guy in the world … but he LOOKS shady.
…because he is in fact wearing sunglasses (rimshot!)
