Raised around Standardbred Racing in Canada, my love for Thoroughbred Racing came watching & Betting on the Triple Crown. First watching the Triple Crown in 1988, wanting Forty Niner to win so bad!(I was a huge Joe Montana & 49ers fan). I love betting the longshots in those fields, and have still only hit 1 Derby Superfecta, but it was for $2750+ & that was a big thanks to Funny Cide. I had cheered on Empire Maker up until the wire, as he was my $5 WPS bet, but then realised it was better for my Superfecta ticket, as I had keyed Empire, and Funny, with 4 horses in 3rd & 4th.
Trainers I like and Respect have to include the Legendary D Wayne Lukas, Bob Baffert, Robert Frankel. Currently was following Thunder Snow, Kentucky Wildcat(I believe he can win the Derby this year, but haven't seen anything on his next move!)
