I won but I didn't "pick it". I always put a couple bucks on the longshots.

Hi Gang:
Isn't the Derby an unbelievable event every year! You just never know. And
the human interest stories surrounding the race most of the time boggle
the mind.
Mine That Bird, purchased for $9,500, trained by a Derby rookie, whose
stable had the grand total of one win this year, vanned over 2,000 miles from
New Mexico to make the race, who couldn't even win a race at Sunland Park
prior to the Derby shocks the bluebloods of Kentucky and the racing world
with a 50-1 stunner in the Run for the Roses.
Ya gotta love it!
Does anyone know of anybody who picked this horse to win?
Curiously, the morning of the race I received an email from a friend who
mentioned Mine That Bird as a horse with a big Tomlinson figure (which
measures a horse's ability to run on an off track). I don't know if he bet him,
but that was the ONLY horse he mentioned in the email.
On to the Preakness!
Regards,
CoachVee
