Derby Picks

Kentucky Derby Trifecta:
1) Point Determined
2) Barbaro
3) Cause to Believe

I know nothing about horse racing and have watched no coverage. But, the blind squirrel does find the nut occassionally, correct?

Updated Post-Race Results:
Don't have to worry about me gambling on horse racing anytime soon. Point Determined fought traffic all day and never got near the front, finishing ninth. Cause For Belief caused nothing to happen, coming in thirteenth. But, Barbaro went off the last quarter-mile or so, winning by seven links. Just before the final turn, I saw him moving up quick and said aloud in (to no one) in my best Stephen A Smith voice, "it's ooo-vah" because it was, indeed, over. Dominant performance, maybe this horse will actually pull off the Triple Crown since I've never seen it happen.

But the best part of the race took place afterwards during NBC's coverage. The interview with the winning jockey was nearly indistinguishable, as I have little clue what he said. Then, when showing the crowd reaction, we had the pleasure of hearing a very clear, "oh sh*t!" from one onlooker. I mean very clear. I laughed, LOL-ed if you will.

And my life has reached a low point, as I spent at least seven minutes today writing about horse racing. Sigh.
