It's the first Saturday 1986 and I was giddy with joy. It was KY day and I had a cinch. Without sheets I had the winner of the derby and told anyone who would listen. There were only 2 possible winners in the Derby according to my handicapping method at that time(Dosage)one was Groovy and the other was Ferdinand. Never mind that Ferdinand was being ridden by a has been jock and drew the worst post on the inside, I was sure he would win. I proudly went up to the window and deposited my $5 win bet(which was alot of money for a student) and watch with amazement as the Shoe found the holes that put Ferdinand into the winner circle. I didn't know at that time what it meant but I sure appreciate it now. Who would have thought that the Shoe would've been hurt riding a Bronco instead of a horse but he took it like a man and never complained. The greatest is gone but will never forgotten.
