I cast a vote for Audible.

However, I use a very scientific method to handicap. I watch the horses head to the gate and when one winks at me...I place a bet on him/her...so my choice could change.

I also use the very scientific method of eenie, meenie, miney, mo on a field this large. But don't spread this around...it's a trade secret. ^-^

Thanks for the heads up @Freya . I didn't know about the free audio book.

@berdie

There are a lot of links here and photos of the horse wearing Audible insignia coats

http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/03/investing/audible-horse-amazon-kentucky-derby/index.html

Amazon doesn't own the horse though. I thought they did

Music Ladies are required to vote for horses named "Mendelssohn."

(Mostly because we're the only ones who can spell it without looking  ^-^)
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Audible
Vino Rossi (I like wine)
Free Drop Billy (sounds like a name my brother- in-law might give a horse).

For anyone who cares, it was Justify, without a speck of mud on his face.

The old dude knows how to ride.

BTW Bolt d'Oro needs to get a new trainer. The one he's got now is a bit of a blowhard.

That guy would be a blowhard in any weather. He needed to get a shirt & tie on and knock off the blue collar routine - he's worth millions.

Yep, I was surprised when I saw the sorry state of the track that a favorite came in. It was long shots earlier for the most part.

The horse I like showed...so I would have only lost 20 cents on an across the board bet.

The long shot I picked is probably still running. lol

Oh well. :shrug:

So much for picking a horse because he had a musical name. :shrug:

Dead last!

(Good thing I wasn't being serious in the first place, and even better that I don't bet  ^-^).

@berdie , Audible announced that it would give out free audiobooks anyway. I downloaded mine. Missed the race. Spent the day with my mom, I’ll have to find it on you tube.

HEY! @musiclady

I can also spell it!  (I've loved the 4th since I was a kid.)

...and for the race, I loved the purple silks and taciturn jockey (Ryan Moore).


But as much as I wanted him to win, I knew he wouldn't do well.  I picked Justify.  :-)
