Winning horse? I don\'t pick horses, I pick numbers. I\'ll put the favorite in with 3 or 4 others in a trifecta box and go for the gusto. In 2003, two of the four finished in the top 3, another finished 4th, it paid $170,000 or so (would have been much less had my horse finished 3rd).

That said: 13, 14, 8 and 2 or 5.

Also, there will be a person there who somewhat resembles me. He is about 5 inches shorter, and goes by the name Dave. I prematurely apologize for his actions and shenanigans.

13, 15, 8 and 6

so we have some common ground.

Mine That Bird
Dunkirk

Mine That Bird pulls off upset in Kentucky Derby

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)—Mine That Bird dug up a miracle, stunning the field to win the Kentucky Derby with a dynamic stretch run through the mud Saturday at Churchill Downs.

The 3-year-old colt and jockey Calvin Borel found room along the rail deep in the stretch then pulled away for a 6 3/4 -length win to give the 50-1 long shot one of the biggest upsets in the 135-year history of the race.

The win was the second Derby victory in three years for Borel, who used a similar stretch run to send Street Sense to the winner’s circle in 2007.

Mine That Bird joins Giacomo, who won in 2005, as one of the most unlikely victors in the Run for the Roses.

Mine That Bird covered the 1 miles in 2:02.66 and paid $103.20 to win.

Pioneerof the Nile held off Musket Man for second, but neither was a match for the unheralded colt from New Mexico.

I am going to place a bet for Preakness and not a peep this time.
