For years I ran the 1 to 20 pool draw at work for $1, $5, and $10 for the Derby !
I was nice if your horse was injured you got your money back if I started the contest
a week or longer before the derby, I was a shift worker had to cover 4 shifts and every year was different
to cover the race. A couple guys that have passed, gave me hell because they got hooked on Horse Racing
all in fun of course. One of them loved me later when OTB opened in the nineties, and we live in Gary Stevens
Country and almost everybody in there Bet on Thunder Gulch, even Stevens Grand Parents were in there
We had to come back on Monday with a chit to collect our money, The guy that ran the OTB, A texas hold em
buddy of mine, was told he had the highest percentage payout in the whole network betting on the Derby.

I wonder if some of those guys are going to skip the first pre Derby Party since there chances of getting lucky
went from 38% to zero.

Gary is agent for Van Dyke. They came East.
Great story.
I got the guys sitting around outside smoking at the shop interested in the Derby. Got tired of listening about cars.

I guess that means you were a bad influence in the neighborhood LOL.
Someone I dislike very much introduced me to horse racing. He dumped my best friend after 10 years of marriage.
He dumped horse racing, too, and I am still best friends with a lovely woman.
So he's a double loser.

"Analysis paralysis"....great analogy about the derby! Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday i think i'm devoiding myself of looking up stats. Crunch time on Thursday for the Oaks. Hopefully there'll won't be anymore defections. I really don't want to see any 3 year old Allowance horses entered.
