1 Exacta box 2, 5, 9, 13, 14, 16, 18, 21

Along with another Steve, here’s my 8 horse, 1 dollar exacta box bet in the derby.

May play a few .10 cent superfecta boxes with various combos of the above horses, but this is what’s in as of right now.
If you had to put one on top who would it be ?

well, if baeza didn't have to check up in the stretch, it might have been a decent exacta. oh well. had the 18 in the oaks/derby double, so not a total loss. but definitely still a loss.

on the bright side, i'm still a little buzzed from all the mint juleps. and completely ready to pass out. can't wait to see if tomorrow brings my first hangover in a while.

been spending less and less time on the horses recently, and continuing that this weekend. have spent almost no time on the derby, but i'm looking to beat the fav (journalism). playing some combo of the 2, 5, 12, 18, and 21. maybe another one or two underneath, if i get crazy.

looking forward to lots of mint juleps. even made mint julep ice cream, which i've been doing 10-12 years now.

good luck with your plays, and enjoy the chaos of 19 horses sharing the track.
I hope you enjoyed your party, I hope you won, and I really hope you served your mint juleps in pewter cup! I used to love them.

Nope. Back in my college days we drank almost exclusively Old Grand Dad but I got away from it. Then I became a beer guy for many years and in my old age became a vodka guy. Never really been one for mixed drinks, usually drink straight up. Even just right out of the bottle. But I've calmed down quite a bit in the last few years. I don't drink hardly at all anymore.

Enjoy.
Good boy!
