2016 galloping Triple Crown thread

[HanSenSE]

Didn't see one, so, ladies and gentlemen, start your horses!

Nyquist draws No. 13 post as early 3-1 Kentucky Derby fav

 

[Starman]

Will we ever see another Triple Crown in our lifetimes?

I feel a longshot hitting Saturday.

What would you consider a long shot? Some of the20-1s are in play. I put some down on SuddenBreakingNews to win. Trifecta of Nyquist-Mor Spirit-Suddenbreakingnews.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Anything double-digits to win, ****.

Yes.

Early picks 3, 4, 5, 11, 14, 17.

I haven't come up with a choice yet, my brother, who can read the ink off a Racing Form, likes Destin.

Put $5 to win on Mor Spirit with no real conviction. Usually I'm on late closers, but there are so many of those and no real burner up front that I'm trying a contrarian (for me) hunch.

BTW, if you find yourself painfully far away from Louisville today, WHAS online ain't a bad substitute.

Whenever WHAS goes to break, they have short blurbs of celebs introducing themselves. As I'm about to get out of the car about an hour ago, I hear "I'm John L. Smith, the head coach of ... every football team in America at some point."

Bourbon and Ale 8 sounds like a better idea than it actually is.

 

[Mystery Meat II]

If Nyquist wins, is the headline HORSE HOCKEY?

 

[Songbird]

'QUIST OF FATE

 

[dixiehack]

The more I hear Baffert talk today the worse I feel.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Had Exaggerator. Oh, well. No complaints. Ran his race, Nyquist faster.

Push-button horse. Impressive

Effective immediately, I'm boycotting every NBC horse racing broadcast that includes Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski. If I wanted a freak show, I'd go to the circus.
