The 135th

[Sean Malone]

Having some family and friends over for to watch the pony race.

We're making Burgoo (always wanted to try this. It's basically a Kentucky version of Brunswick or Mulligan stew), Hot Brown ( basically a toasted turkey sandwich with a heavy roux and egg sauce topped with 2 slices of bacon), Benedictine (cucumber and cream cheese dip) and of course mint juleps.


The field, from the rail out, is West Side Bernie (30-1), Musket Man (20-1), Mr. Hot Stuff (30-1), Advice (30-1), Hold Me Back (15-1), Friesan Fire (5-1), Papa Clem (20-1), Mine That Bird (50-1), Join in the Dance (50-1), Regal Ransom (30-1), Chocolate Candy (20-1), General Quarters (20-1), I Want Revenge (3-1), Atomic Rain (50-1), Dunkirk (4-1), Pioneerof the Nile (4-1), Summer Bird (50-1), Nowhere to Hide (50-1), Desert Party (15-1), Flying Private (50-1).”

I always enjoy catching the Derby with few mint juleps, but sadly I'm going to miss this one live due to a charity function. BTW, years ago I picked Tabasco Cat @ party...the horse should have been a triple crown winner, but got bumped @ the start and ended finishing 2nd (IIRC), and then ended up winning the final two legs. Still pizzles me off to this day. :saywhat: :irked:

The Burgoo sounds tasty, Malone. :thumbup:

Papa Clem is my longshot pick. Mark it down. :)

Don't forget the tomato.

That was SOME race! Too bad you missed it Dando.

I haven't seen a horse take off like that since Secretariat. Granted Secretariat started in front and just kept lengthening the lead but Mine the Bird looked like someone put a bazooka in his ***. Let's see what he can do with the Belmont. Looked like he could go the distance to me.

That was an impressive win, still pulling away from the field at the line.
