Maximum Security
Bodexpress


my two picks.


I am sad that Victor Espinoza isn't riding today.


I love the beauty and power in these beautiful beasts.

[elleng]

1. So do I love them.

VERY sloppy track. Post time coming up.

[democratisphere]

2. The track is a wet mess.

Hope all the animals and jockeys will be safe.

[GoCubsGo]

14. Yeah, I can't believe they made those horses run in that slop.

I'm glad there were no injuries. At least none that they're mentioning.

[demtenjeep]

3. yes, that is a huge concern today

but if the jockey's are good, they will know and protect them.


just like Victor Espinoza did with Barbaro . I think he cried a ton when he had to pull the horse up and knew it was badly hurt.

[spanone]

5. A five hour show for a two minute race.

Love it!!!!

[demtenjeep]

6. My hubby and I worked the Eureka Downs track during college

He was a video recorder at the finish line for the judges and I was a bartender in the clubhouse

We love the Derby

[demtenjeep]

7. that is some weird blinders on the Japan horse

wonder if it helps?

[demtenjeep]

8. HERE WE GO

Horses loading now

[demtenjeep]

9. YES

Maximum Security led almost all of it and won by at least a length!

[demtenjeep]

10. an objection??? WTF

I'm calling it sour grapes

[dem4decades]

13. Quite tense. Lots of people going up be unhappy.

[jberryhill]

11. Cue the annual debate on the ethics of the thorobred racing industry

[demtenjeep]

12. oh I know, but I don't care

Love horse racing

[demtenjeep]

15. I think the owner that posted the objection is a lot like fat donnie

sour grapes because he didn't win and is now trying to win by objection like he thinks he is entitled

[Lefta Dissenter]

16. Ugh.

And just like the dotard, he was granted his wish.

[demtenjeep]

18. yup

I guess in this new world money is all that counts



the rest of us are just shit

[Baclava]

17. The horse cheated? Lol, he still thinks he won

It was fixed!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

19. I say bad call.

It was a sloppy track. It's like driving on ice. And the horses can't pull off to the curb. That's why the riders have to watch for moves like that. To protect the horses.

[demtenjeep]

20. totally bad call

I thought the Jockey was going to just start crying because this DQ will affect him as well

[Lady Freedom Returns]

21. Is it just me, or does this feel like the 2016 election?

[demtenjeep]

24. yes it does

that was immediately what went through my mind

[a kennedy]

26. and sad part.....they never have ever overturned the winner..never been done in the 145 year history

of the Derby. Wow.

[TeamPooka]

22. Sports posts belong in the Lounge

[katmondoo]

23. I love the Derby and the way the win was decided has made me wonder if there was a fix

with the new winner at 65 t0 1 and a 3million purse

[demtenjeep]

25. wouldn't surprise me in the least

that is a lot of money
