The Sports Bizzo

By Toph…

I’m a huge horse racing fan. This, of course, was brought on by my wife’s family, who owns a few horses. They’re big horse fans, and have turned me into one. With that said, I thought I’d go ahead and give you guys my picks for the race. My bets are in, and there’s no turning back. Maybe we’ll take a look after the race and see how I did. Or maybe I’ll be crying because of how broke I am.

Here’s the runners, and they’re odds. Odds, updated as of May 2nd - 7pm.

Update - Winner - Big Brown

Win: Big Brown - Place: Eight Belles - Show: Denis of Cork- 4th: Tale of Ekati

Well, my horse won, which is sweet. I’m waiting for the rest of the results. Big Brown is looking good heading into the Preakness, and is the next hopeful for the Triple Crown, which we haven’t seen in a long time.
It looks like Eight Belle is injured badly. A bad injury to both of her legs. Wow, Big Browns people are ridiculous. “I love you man!” There’s the post. I had Eight Belles and Big Brown in 2 exacta boxes, but neither together. Damn. Colonel John let me down. Can’t wait to hear what happen. Well, looks like I bet more than I made. What can you do? The Preakness is coming soon.
