Passed the race Jimbo. I don't want to give back ANY of my Derby Winnings:-)
2-1 on 'Sight in a five horse field with a moderate pace was non attractive in the end. Would have needed 3-1 minimum. Funny how that one point makes such a difference - at least in my eyes. If the Frankel stays in - SS goes off at 4-1 and I plunge and get beat. Really strange ride by Prado. The bold/premature move down the backside was very uncharacteristic of him.
This discussion reminds me of the 1997 Silver Charm/Bodgit/Freehouse/Touch Gold Preakness Stakes. I was all over Bodgit with tickets in hand but with two minutes to post and 'Charm at 7-2 or 4-1, I ran back to the window and changed all my tickets to 'CHarm win tickets. He ended up going off at 3-1 and as you remember he beat both Free House and Bodgit who went off at 2-1 respectively. That one point of value, though not much, sometimes means all. And sometimes, we get it right
