Official 2013 Kentucky Derby Thread

It's that time for the best two minutes of sports

A couple of storylines this year....

A black jockey is riding Goldencents He has a great chance at becoming the first black jockey to ever win the Kentucky Derby w/ 5/1 odds
If that wasn't enough about this horse, the trainer is Doug O'Neill who was the trainer for the darling of last year, I'll Have Another. Rick Pitino is also apart of the ownership group of Goldencents.

There's a woman jockey riding Mylute who also has a great chance to win coming in at 15/1 odds. That's cool but the media will probably play to this storyline more than the black jockey.

It's really a wide open race in my opinion but I'm taking Goldencents, Will Take Charge, Itsmyluckyday in that order.

No major wagers for me this year but hopefully Goldencents wins and we can see a run at the triple crown

He wouldn't be the first but he would be the first in over 100 years. Anyway for always holding it down on The Coli for Horse Racing.

My Bets so far in my mind:
Revolutionary/Normandy Invasion $4 exacta box
Normandy Invasion/Overanalyze $4 exacta box
Overanalyze/It'smyluckyday $4 exacta box
Orb/Normandy Invasion/Overanalyze $6 Triple Box
$2 to Win Golden Soul

When I go to OTB i'll probably throw another $20 down on spur of the moment bets.

not that it changes anything, but there doesn't seem to have been an official ban

here's a good article on it: http://www.history.com/news/the-kentucky-derbys-forgotten-black-jockeys

I spent most of the race at Palace Malace trying to lead from start to finish. No way he was going to keep that pace up.
