rabid1stI'll Have Another for the win! And I can see him taking the Preakness as well. The kid has heart.
How did I end up for my $100 dollar stake...let's see...my Exacta was I'll Have Another and Dullahan...and they finished, in that order, in the money. That's two years in a row now that I've had first and third.
I'll Have Another paid 32.60 for the win. And Dullahan paid 7.20 for the show. So that's like...uhm...a lot of money. This is embarrassing, but I'm not sure exactly how betting works. Still, it is at least $400 dollars. And my loss total is $100.
Second guessers are still wondering what happened to Union Rags. But I say he wasn't the horse. Z3nyatta can back me up that I'll Have Another has been my horse since the Santa Anita Derby.
BTW, if you are wondering what happened to Hansen. In order to avoid the scenario I laid out for you in the last post, Hansen's jockey fought with him to keep him from going to the front. This meant, essentially, that Hansen spent his energy early and had nothing to give to the race. They would have been better advised, in my opinion, to let him challenge Bodemeister for the lead. But I think the outcome of the race would have been about the same even if they had gone after Bode. Bodemeister did impress me in this race with his staying power at those speeds. He could be a real threat in the Preakness.
