I’m curious to know what everyone’s first Derby memory is.

The first horse race I ever watched was Sunday Silence beating Easy Goer in the 89 Derby.

[battlegearboat]

Back from the track with a $20 EXB 7 12 for a forty dollar investment.

What the heck, it's fun to be part of the action.

[SnarlinCubBear]

It’s NoBizLikeShowBiz for me today. Fingers crossed, but then, I’ve placed no bet. No loss/no gain.

[eleni121]

I bet on one of Pletcher’s...lowers the odds a bit.

[HairOfTheDog]

Seattle Slew... I was a little kid, and I thought because he had Seattle in the name, and I lived in Washington, I sortof almost owned him :~)

[SnarlinCubBear]

Not an experience, but the first race horse champ I remember hearing about was Secretariat.

[SnarlinCubBear]

Snarlin is so excited - and my mint julip is about to be poured.

[Overtaxed]

I think my julep needs more crushed ice.

Riders Up!

My Old Kentucky Home is comin’!

[Pajamajan]

Great thread! I like Street Sense and just about every other horse in the race. LOL.

[HairOfTheDog]

Riders up, see you after the race!

[WestCoastGal]

Alydar and Affirmed

[hoagy62]

Gotta admit...I get teary-eyed when they sing that song...and I’m not from Kentucky.

[fatima]

OK OK I pick Hard Spun.

[SnarlinCubBear]

I’m likin the gray horsies!

[Matchett-PI]

I like the way Dominican finished in his last two races - came on very strong at the finish both times, which is a good indication. I don’t know if he’s outclassed in this field or not because I haven’t studied the horses that closely, but it was either go with the favorite or a long shot. I went with the long shot.

[STARWISE]

I'm going to root for Scat Daddy .. for absolutely no reason at all .. except I like the name and Prado's the jockey .. LOL.

Prayers for a safe race for ALL the horses. I still remember so well the brave and enduring Barbaro ... he was so special.

Can His Kid Brother Follow in Barbaro’s Huge Footsteps?

[Pajamajan]

I do too. The jockeys say they also get teary-eyed when they hear the song. What a great looking bunch of horses.

[NRA2BFree]

Who is favored to win?

[Pajamajan]

I like Dominican too. I didn’t bet him, but, he’s got a shot. You’ll get a nice pay out if he comes in.
