I wanted Flashpoint to win SO SO SO SO bad! He almost had it too! Then his jockey had him going full speed until he couldn't anymore. My sister wanted Animal Kingdom to win but thank goodness he got second! LOL.

Who were your picks?

HuntersGATHERING · May 2011

See I need to get into horse racing. The only horses I know are Curlin, Zenyatta, and Rachel Alexandra. And then only a few more from the show jockeys.

EmmeZoec · May 2011

Lol, I wanted Animal Kingdom to win, I just like his background with so few starts and always on grass except for the derby. @Dog Paradise you no like Man o War, Seatle Slew, and like Secretatarite (spelling) or maybe like Red Rum from staple chasing?

HuntersGATHERING · May 2011

I know who Man O War is and Secretariet(possible misspelling). But I can never find the horse racing on my stupid t.v., lol

EmmeZoec · May 2011

If you have dish tv its like 404 or 405, i think its like hrtv or something likr that.

HuntersGATHERING · May 2011

Thanks I have DirecTV, so I search until I find, lol.

EmmeZoec · May 2011

Ok, I no that right now Fast Track is on... If that helps.

Frostbight8 · May 2011

I went all crazy long shot.. 1. Dance City 2. Dialed In 3. Animal Kingdom When I saw Dance City didn't have it in him, I was on my knees screaming at Animal Kingdom. Hate Shackleford.

Mileysmybaby · May 2011

LOL Emme and Paradise thats funny! XD @Frost<;br>yeah, I didn't really like how high they were making Animal Kingdom look like, like he was the greatest cause he won the derby, he IS good don't get me wrong lol, I just don't think he should have been the center of attention. Did you see Flashpoint?! His stupid jockey let him run himself all out at the beginning till he couldn't anymore, I was SOOO ticked!

HuntersGATHERING · May 2011

:twisted: HAHA finally found it. It was on channel 602

Frostbight8 · May 2011

That is how Flashpoint runs.. Out front. I just don't think he had it in him. Animal Kingdom is a pretty big deal, the derby winner always gets a lot of crap.. I think the betting is just hopefuls who would like to see him win, but know he won't. The favorite always gets the most attention too. Anyway, Flashpoint faded in the Florida Derby.. I didn't think he would do well in the Preakness.

Mileysmybaby · May 2011

Aw, I wasn't able to see the Florda Derby cause we don't have cable

When is the next race (Uhhhh Belmont right?) gonna be?

Frostbight8 · May 2011

3 weeks, I believe.

Mileysmybaby · May 2011

Oh ok, Im bored lol. I just added pics of all the racehorses on my first post for people to see (:

Mileysmybaby · May 2011

EmmeZoec · May 2011

They are all such big, beautifle horses *stares off into a day dream*

Mileysmybaby · May 2011

yeah, Emme do you have any animals other then dogs in rl?

EmmeZoec · May 2011

I have a cat and two guinea pigs but no horses

, i ride when i can put its very, very rare.

Kazuko · May 2011

I think Flashpoint's my favorite. Because he's the only non-bay/chestnut one listed there. D< *doesn't pay the tiniest bit of attention to races; bases opinion only on color 8D* This is why my husband refuses to let me go to the track. xD;

Frostbight8 · May 2011

Lol, I go by names most of the time! And I have won quite a bit by doing that. Color works too. I like the front end of Flashpoint, as it gets towards his rear to color gets lighter and I don't like it. Not really a grey person.

Kazuko · May 2011

I'm not a huge grey fan either, honestly. xD Dapple greys are pretty, but they still don't usually do it for me, but they're still better than plain chestnuts/bays in my mind.

Mileysmybaby · May 2011

yayyy someones with me! LOL

Howdy, Stranger!
