Don't know much about Derbys but I'll play for fun...my hubby would kill me if I lost any money...I lose enough at bingo as it is

my picks: #15 Midnight Interlude for the win...and #7 Pants on fire to place (mainly cause the only women jockey is riding her)

I always wait till the window is about to close and watch the odds. Then I run and place my bet.

That's right we have a lady riding the #7, cool, I hope she places at least!! IIRC, that would be a first

I love it when a woman plays in a male dominated sport and shows them a thing or two or three

I hope one of the girls wins the Indy 500 this year!
