California Chrome - Derby Winner!
California Chrome - the real deal, made it look easy and a bargain at 5/2. The only real shocker was Commanding Curve finishing 2nd at 37-1, spoiling most peoples' (including my) Exactas, Tris and Supers ... :(
Onwards to the next stop in the Triple Crown! Ted |
Lots of fun
woo hoo !
Way fun to be here at Del Mar :) I saw C.C. win the Santa Anita So I will ride this train to Maryland and NYC... California Chrome #:1: Go C.C. Go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0G1Ucw5HDg |
Had him on a bunch of p3 and p4 tickets but was rooten for some others...the .50 pic 3 for the Oaks Woodford Reserve and Derby paid a whopping $4.25 ....Everytime that Wise Dan is involved in a p3 or 4 the payoffs are always low...wish he would retire...ok on to the Preakness....looks like in 5 weeks Cal Chrome will be shooting for the Triple Crown...sure can't see any of these beating him in the Preakness.......

Buckpasser

CCurve went his last quarter in 22.0 seconds and galloped out in 12....outstanding work!! But with that said, works are generally deceiving, the three horses that worked the best Derby week were Candy Boy, Medal Count and Danza... |
