The funny thing is that the buddy that I always split this bet with had his bachelor party at the Derby this year, and for financial reasons I had to stay in Texas since I can barely afford to go back to Wisconsin to stand up in his wedding this June. So he called me up all messed up at about 8 tonight asking, "We lost again, right???" "Oh no, we hit this baby!"
FINALLY! The losses haven't hurt much at all, it's just been an annual thing, but damn, I am beyond happy to have finally hit one of these damn things!!!!!!
I appreciate all of the props. This is probably one of my top two favorite days of the year (opening weekend of the NCAA hoops tourney being the other), and it's nice to leave it with a smile on my face.

No kidding. This race NEVER runs to form, but for some reason it did today. No matter what the morning line said, i knew Smarty Jones, being undefeated, would end up as the favorite come post-time, and I didn't like the fact that I wasn't going to get the odds on him I wanted, but I just felt he was going to win. However, I didn't see The Cliff's Edge tanking like he did. Smarty Jones ran like a machine, though. I'm curious to see how well he does in the next two races. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him take them both.
