What a bummer.... I was planning on watching I Want Revenge win the Derby today.. Damn shame for Talamo.

I met my retired ex-Boss yesterday.. he had a early period bet on IWF at 18-1!!! I’m sure he’s bummed today.

I still love Friesan Fire.. but, at 3/1? Or lower? I dunno.

I might have to put a little on Dunkirk today. I just have a feeling... of course, that may just be remorse.... for all the money I left at Churchill yesterday.

Good Luck All!

Wow! He must be feeling pretty sick about now, although it was far from a sure thing that IWR would have put in another powerful race after the last one.

I'm not familiar with how betting on horse races works. What happens to the bet if the horse is scratched from the race? Does the bettor get his money back, or is that just part of the risk of making an early bet?

I know the feeling. I had a nice 14-1 ticket on Buddha. (The difference is that Buddha would have won.)
