random memory: in 1987 Momentus, in either a Derby prep race or a race right after the Derby, hung a hard left while on a clear lead and vaulted over the inner rail into the infield. Yowza. Just remembered that when I was looking at the chart.
Looking forward to this one!
As far as winners that I either keyed on top or bet straight to win, off the top of my head:
1976 Bold Forbes
1982 Gato Del Sol
1986 Ferdinand
1987 Alysheba
1989 Sunday Silence
1997 Silver Charm
1998 Real Quiet
2000 Fusaichi Pegasus
2014 California Chrome
I always watched the derby but didn't start betting until 1990
can't remember all my picks, because I either have selective memory syndrome
or I drank too much beer :chickendance:
Lil E Tee, Silver Charm, Smarty Jones, Animal Kingdom, I'll hava another
