Kentucky Derby on the Peoria.com Forums

Did anyone watch?

I was hoping Bodemeister or Gemology would win. Bodemeister came in second.

I thought Bodemeister had it! It was an exciting race!!

I don't usually have a favorite, because you never know what could happen....like this race....very exciting ending, just when you think that Bodemeister had it in the bag....BOOM! Here comes I'll Have Another! Good race!

Great back story on the winning jockey, too! I like I'll Have Another simply because of the name. . . until I found out it was referring to cookies.

I turned $300 into over $1600 by betting on I'll Have Another...his name just called out for to me!

woohoo! sounds like "party @ Luke's" to me!

...congrats!

Haha. I've been betting on the derby since I turned 18, and I've always rolled my winnings over to the Preakness...but I've never won more than $100...I have to change my philosophy now!

my bro always bets on the least likely to win horses...a few years ago he put $20 down on the 5 least likely to win and won $1,000
