What a Jockey, what a HORSE!!!! So exciting. I love when a horse that is not favored to win actually wins. Beautiful animal with so much heart. Bred to run and loves to run. Congratulations.Smiley Happy

Yep, none of the favorites won...

 

My horse was Two Phils and I blame the other Phil for losing the race in the final seconds! Woman LOL

I wanted King Russell. He came in 15th.

It actually brings tears to my eyes when I watch those magnificent animals racing. I grew up with horses and I love them so much.

@cody2  I was rooting for Angel of Empire because he is a Pennsylvania horse, and he really came on at the end. It was a good race.

@PAMommom Truthfully, that was who I was rooting for. I liked the owner and trainers story.

Mattress Mack placed a 1.2 million dollar bet on Angel Empire minutes before the race changing the odds.

I saw this horse acting up before they got to the paddock and I was all set to drop a couple of bucks on him. With all of my handicapping I still often have better luck while watching them in the paddock so he was going to be my saver bet. Then my betting account wouldn't let me deposit money into it and I got shut out! Smiley Sad
