Nice picking guys.. Ice Box split my exacta. I had ten win on SS but canceled and bet Discreetly Mine thinking I had SS in my exacta box. What do they say? Your first thought is always your best thought..

Zinn I know how you feel on the exacta...I woulda had it too, but I was screaming at the TV when it looked like Desormeaux basically quit on Paddy O'Prado. Didn't seem to see Ice Box coming and decided too late to start engaging again. Tough 1/4 length to lose by (and a decent chunk of change for the owners as well).

I guess what I am really peeved at is Desemoreaux. He constantly constantly makes unforced errors. It's one thing to decide to take path A instead of path B and get shut off but to stop riding the last eighth, fiddle with your goggles and then get beat a neck by a horse you had 5 lengths on with a little over a sixteenth of a mile to go, gallop out better than the other two is just inexcusable.. If I were the connections he would be off the horse..
