darksabre Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Those are two I haven't heard much about. You throwing any $$ down, or just for shits and giggles? Would be a nice payout if either pulls it out. I just re-read my post. Talk about one scrambled out of order paragraph. Time to edit. Just sharts n giggles. One of these years I'll get off my butt and throw some money at the whole day of races. Quote

ubkev Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Being from Saratoga, I definitely am enjoying this thread lol. I used to go out every year for opening day. A rare gambling excursion for me. That is if $50 can be considered gambling. Which, it cannot be. Quote
GoPre Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Always thought the ladies look dumb and snobbish in the hats they wear. Kane by a LANEth!!! Edited May 6, 2017 by GoPre Quote

I always bet $10 every race, bet the odds for show. Almost always break even or get $20 - $100, which usually covers snacks etc haha. If you're ever in town let me know, I'll buy you a beer at Kings Tavern across from the track. I was thinking you were prolly a horse guy with that name. Great track down there. Love the races it's in our blood in Saratoga! Quote
Claude Balls Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Love the races it's in our blood in Saratoga! It's been in mine since I was a kid, just because of the Seattle Slew connection. Quote

Curlin' is the 17's sire and I like that. And I like the other 2 jockeys. I might also bet on Kent Desormeaux and Javier Castellano, they're due. Edited May 20, 2017 by ubkev Quote

ubkev Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) So greek to me.... The horse wearing number 17 has a famous dad. The other 2 have jockeys that I like. The other 2 jockeys are pretty legendary and are due for a derby win. 6 bucks bet all 3 numbers. Another few bucks to bet the other 2 as there is a $2 minimum bet. Edited May 6, 2017 by ubkev Quote
Claude Balls Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Ah it.....just dropped a small bet on Irish War Cry. Just because I'm Irish and I wore #17 when I played hockey. It's fate I tell ya. Quote
ubkev Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Hey, Kentucky Derby! The Belmont has a better song! Deal with it! Good bet Cygnus Quote

What is the most you can win w/ the bets you made today? I'm not really a betting guy. Mainly only do it when playing cards w/ friends. And that's more for fun. Most any of us will lose is $20. When I was younger I lost $100 in a casino and said forget this stuff. Haven't returned. Edited May 6, 2017 by GoPre Quote

ubkev Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 What is the most you can win w/ the bets you made? It changes with the horses odds. It's called an exacta box. You're betting 3 horses in the hopes that 2 of them finish 1st and 2nd. As for how much....not very lol. I book bets for a living, gambling does not pay. This is just fun, is all. Quote
sodbuster Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 I have Fast and Accurate. If that horse had a Sabres themed name, it would be "anybody but Cody Franson." Quote
ubkev Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Sorry Cygnus, Irish died down the back stretch. Couldn't keep it up in the slop. And GoPre, I didn't get paid. 10 bucks down the drain. But my bourbon is very good. Quote
GoPre Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Only because the movie St. Vincent involves horse race betting, here's a great line from the movie. Sorry Cygnus, Irish died down the back stretch. Couldn't keep it up in the slop.And GoPre, I didn't get paid. 10 bucks down the drain. But my bourbon is very good. So you still broke even! :lol: Quote

So you still broke even! :lol: Yeah, and I have pizza and am making wings. So I'm waaaay ahead! Always Dreaming should have a very good shot at the Preakness (Maryland's white trash version of the Derby, I'll never go again), and if he can take that then it's on to that monster on Long Island. We'll see. Gotta win the sprint at Pimlico before you can attack Belmont. Quote
Claude Balls Posted May 6, 2017 Report Posted May 6, 2017 Yeah, bad bet on my part. They said he had speed in the back half if needed??? Once he got up near the front he was gassed out. I'll listen to my uncle from now on, lol. And my long shot Thunder Snow.....no explanation Quote

Hopefully nothing too serious and he'll get to live a long, happy horse life with lots of filly's and all the oats and peppermint he can eat. Quote

These horses get worked over for three years.....then bang their brains out for the rest of their lives. Not a bad gig. Quote
