LOL! Me too! The moment he crossed the line I did a excitable YES! And yeah I know favorites are more of a score on previous victory races and a glimmer of hope/gamble but its amazing to see them actually achieve it
(I think I mentioned that I was a spiritualist. Before the race, I had a case of my led pencil filler fall off my bed and hit the floor and well..it stood up on its side (Its tiny, thin and rectangular.) I look for signs for many that I've come across were always a beacon of something negative or positive. So I'm a believer that and having contacted a psychic years ago she said I may have potential as to being a psychic O.o-still freaked out over it but...
Anywho, I know we al press on predigree but truly its a gamble and I find myself it still to be a long shot no matter the background.
Some just shine beautifully just like some people can.
And yeah I was thinking the same as to comeptitives. I always look for those whom give a derby winner a pace of head to head fight. They all displayed a lot of fight to me so I can say a horse whom makes a derby winner fight to get to the cross line is certainly competition
The jockeys have to stick to how they know how to handle the horse and use their precise judgment. A jockeys life is admirable and tough, a life style where you have to be talented and reputable. I been having more and more respect for these guys!!
I'm even more proud for Doug and hope he can find himself with Nyquist close to prevailing a triple crown winner and to at least not have his horse scratched as I'll have another.
I only wish to be in Baltimore for the Preakness *.* and double that I'm excited already and know its going to be a fight should all horses be sound and ready. ^.^(I had bet on American Pharaoh, last year and I still watch all three races and get this ever lasting jolt of exciting-which is rare for me to contain it after I now what's gong to happen
And DAHH, thank you so much! I appreciate in having a bet with a horse owner and enthusiast! (and I've ever gambled in my life XD So I'm grateful for the opportunity! Arigato gozaimus!)
I certainly look foreword to the next race!
