Churchill says it will run without fans
Not so good cause there's lots of also rans
Won't be sitting there workin on our tan
Way out in September and there still is a ban
Peeps usually watching it anyway..sitting on their cans
Won't see live horses the likes of Wise Dan
Won't be the same just a flash in the pan
But it's the day everybodys' a fan
And as usual the TV gets it poorly on the pan
Yet it wouldn't be a Derby if they ran it in Jan.

Early bird gets the window!
He who hesitates, loses!....Just sayin' also.
In the decades i've been playing horses at OTB, never to this day understood how guys have to wait till the ponies enter the gate to place a bet? Like something earth shaking happens from post parade to gate? (w/the exception of Shacklefords excessive sweating or Quality Roads antics loading in the BC Classic)

I want to use that 'early bird gets the window' innuendo.
One Derby Day at the finish just about everyone in the smoking room shouted they had the Super no less. One day shooters. The free hand out program had the Super listed dead nuts in order of finish to the 4th place.

Gary and Mary West have never won a Derby and have a possible 3 for Kentucky Derby.
Servis said this week he really did not know what he had in Max Security when tagging him 16k first race.
As racing is an occurrence and last six consecutive Derby winners were M/L and final Win betting. ~ Using 80/20 rule and the ten trips to a gambling event (10 and house is ahead)... Dog barks not this year.

Closest i got to a super for a derby bet was in 2010. Had the top 3, Super Saver, Ice Box and Paddy O'Prado boxed, should have played a trifecta but no of course not, had to get greedy a played a super with.......Jackson Bend. We all know how he placed...12th i believe. Couldn't even tell you who rounded out the super that year.

In our weekly weekend contest at that time using fun$$, I had $90 to win on Animal Kingdom for a tidy $1,971 return. Timtamphilo was the only other who cashed on him with a $4 win ticket that returned $87.60.

Other ..Jockey Club set limits on a season breeding.
Pandemic fall out will cause fall out to some present minor owners or eliminate newcomers.
Track handle perhaps take hits. I might have to dip into my Communion money.
Claiming races will up purses.
