Ever heard of Ashado? She won the Kentucky Oaks and the Breeders Cup Distaff, among other races.

yes did you work with her

[Grenader]

I was the attending nighwatch person the night she was born. She's my baby. I have a picture with her when she was a few days old. I should see if I can dig it up.

Liike Brujah said, only caught about 15-20 minutes of it. I'd love to get all dressed up and go to it one year with people that love it

We should go. I even have a hat somewhere that I bought for the Derby.

That would seriously be awesome!!! We'd have to go horseback riding somewhere too!

So apparently some guy won a contest to place a $100,000 bet in the Derby. He bet on Super Saver and won around $900,000.

This was Todd Pletcher's first win in the Derby as a trainer. Before this race he was 0-24.

I wonder if I could get time off. I've always wanted to go to the Derby and I'd get to hang with you to boot. It would be good times!

Holy shit, that's fucking amazing!!!!

Let me know, I'd make Bryan watch the kids, although. Amara would love it I bet! She loves the horsies!

Isnt the Derby a steeple chase? Is so... I always thought it was...so dont watch.


I was brought up at the track. My dad worked for an S.P Bookie in the war years, my Godfather was a jockey, and his son is a trainer still. We went to Randwick EVERY Saturday

I bet on the winner in The Melbourne cup last year, (my first winning pick in years) and my dream is to attend in person one day.

There's my little champion! Isn't she a cutie? This was taken in 2001 when Ashado was a newborn. Who knew she'd grow up to be the remarkable racehorse that she was. Champion 3 year old filly in 2004, champion older filly in 2005 and later sold at auction as a broodmare prospect for a then-record $9 million. She is my claim to fame.

Kentucky Derby is flat racing, Steeples (jumps) are in England.

The Derby is a flat race. Steeplechase isn't very big in North America. I've always wanted to go to the Melbourne Cup too!

[Ceakicknunk]

Also it is on a dirt track and not grass

Are not many of the steeples on grass??
