    Upset At the Derby!

    I don't follow the ponies but I caught this on the local home page news.

    I love it when the little guy wins! 50:1 odds and won by the largest margin since 1946.

      WOW is right. Wish I had put bundle on that sweet little horse. Think of all the toys, ere essential tools that win would buy!

          Awesome race... saw it... That horse started running at the rail WAY BACK in the crowd and just threaded the needle all the way to the Finish!

          An awesome sight to behold!
          Have Fun!

            I don't know anything about horse racing, but I believe some officials need to do some serious checking on all the horses and jockeys involved. It seems incredible to me that such a low ranked horse could possibly win by that large a margin without some kind of foogerbooing going on.

              How dare this horse run faster than the others. The track was a mudders paradise. Maybe he wasn't too fast, but the others were too slow given the mud. Just a thought.
