I Hate Gambling

Well, as you can tell from my posts last week, my weekend sucked. Not too surprising, considering that I never do real well with the Derby and I was an idiot (in hindsight) with regard to the De La Hoya beat down of Mayorga. I should have known. Oh well.

What a performance by Barbaro. Wow! He will certainly be the favorite in the Preakness. It will be interesting to see how many of the horses in the Derby show up for the Preakness considering the true favorites didn’t really race well on Saturday. Brother Derek was the closest to the front and he finished fifth. It appears that the wide-open, anyone-could-win Derby was really the wide-open, anyone-could-take-second Derby.
