2025 galloping Triple Crown thread

[HanSenSE]

Kentucky Derby post positions, morning line up. Ladies and gentlemen, start your horses!

 

[Slacker]

JOURNALISM at 3-1? And the favorite?

Ahhhhhhhhh, hahahahahahahahaHAHHHHH!!!

 

[Slacker]

And PUBLISHER scowling in the corner at 20-1.

The jokes, they write themselves.

He's gonna have to work smarter, not harder.

 

[UPChip]

"And Journalism is boxed in by Publisher and Citizen Bull. He may have to move to the outside and Render Judgement if he wants to chase down Sovereignty and Chunk of Gold before he can get to Admire Daytona, but he may just have to settle for holding off Coal Battle."

 

[Driftwood]

I have four bets already in the futures pool: Citizen Bull (8-1), Journalism (5-1), Sandman (9-1), Sovereignty (9-1).

 

[playthrough]

Yeah, Journalism-Publisher sounds like a fun $2 commemorative exacta ticket.

 

[HanSenSE]

Wonder what Sandman's walk up music is?

 

[swingline]

Bring me a dream.

 

[DanOregon]

American Promise at 30-1 - yeah, I buy that.

 

[dixiehack]

Kinda rooting for Chunk of Gold so Ragu can have one more day of happiness somewhere.

But given that it is the imploding hellscape of 2025, Sovereignty and Render Judgement probably should be your exacta box. That’s the kind of Orwellian hotness trending these days.

 

[swingline]

Wonder what Sandman's walk up music is?

Bring me a dream.

He is the cutest that I’ve ever seen.

This is the year to take the Road from Japan, Luxor Cafe…

 

[Inky_Wretch]

I’ve thrown Citizen Bull and Burnham Square a couple of show bets. That’s it so far.

Sentimentally, I want Journalism to win. But the horse player in me always wants value atop my exotics - which he won’t provide.

Yeah, he’ll get put on furlough right before the loadout.

 

[BTExpress]

They'll make Journalism run 3 miles for the same payoff.

Two weeks later . . .

Asked about the horse's disqualification for a banned substance, Journalism's owner had no comment.

 

[Driftwood]

I'll stay away from the exotics on the derby. 20 good horses is too tough to call. It's like betting the Daytona 500. I made my four win bets in the futures pool to get reasonable odds that won't be available today.

 

[Jake from State Farm]

One of our columnists called and asked if there were any questions about his story. One guy replied: “Why journalism?”

 

[Baron Scicluna]

So if he wins, will the final call be “Down the stretch they come. It’s Journalism with the lede. And Journalism does more with less to win the Kentucky Derby!”
