[I still care]

I've picked the last two winners of the Derby, and two of the other horses in the box.

My method is comepletely unorthodox. I pick the pretty one. I also pick the ones with names I like, or I'll sometimes pick a grey one.

There. Now you all know my technique. :)

My technique.

I wait for a hunch. I'm still waiting.

Derby day was a big deal at my house when I was growing up. The odd thing was my dad was not a gambler at all..he just loved the Derby. Every Derby day we'd all sit around the table, look at the paper and he'd let me and my brothers pick horses and he's bet a couple of bucks on them. It was quite the tradition. One we continued every year till the year he died. The year before he died he picked the trifecta. I'll never forget it.

I tell you this because that's how I pick my horses now...whatever horse's name makes me think of my dad the most is the one I pick...this year? SWEETNORTHERNSAINT.....

LOL We think alike!! Pretty horses with cute names is the way I usually go :) My Picks: Barbaro, Sweet Northern Saint, and Bernardini. Good luck, all!

That's what I do, too. It reminds me of the episode of Cheers in which the guys talked Diane into betting on the football pool, thinking they'd win more that way. But she won, by picking the teams from cities that had foreign-born symphony conductors. Made them very mad.
