It’s almost Preakness time. I have a pretty good history with the Preakness. In 2006, I won $1995.59 and the IRS hasn’t let me forget about it. Last year, I also had the winning trifecta, but it only paid $104.60. A friend of mine managed to have $10 on the winning trifecta for this past Derby.
He won $11,687.
Here are the official results for the Kentucky Derby 2010

As of right now, 13 (out of 14) horses are ready to run this Sat. Calvin Borel once again has a shot of at Triple Crown history. Can he pull it off? Will I win money? Will a drunk elephant run on the field while Manny Pacquio sings the national anthem in hebrew? We’ll find out together, this Saturday.
And yes, my money is on the elephant.
