Kentucky Derby

[MI CORAZON]

I'll Have Another ran down Bodemeister in the final furlong Saturday to win the Kentucky Derby, winding up in the winner's circle despite a rookie jockey, a more famous stable pony and a price tag of just $11,000 as a yearling.
With Mario Gutierrez aboard, the chestnut colt stormed out of post No. 19 — the first winner from that slot in 138 runnings of the Derby — and bided his time back in mid-pack while Bodemeister set a blistering pace on a hot, muggy afternoon.

''He's an amazing horse,'' Gutierrez said. ''I told everybody before the first time I rode him, I knew he was the one.''

But a record crowd of 165,307 looking on didn't know I'll Have Another had the goods until the 20-horse field turned for home. That's when Gutierrez, who moved up between horses around the final turn, positioned his colt not far from the rail and set him down to run.

I'll Have Another overhauled a tiring Bodemeister to win by 1-1-2 lengths at 15-1 odds. He returned $32.60 for a $2 win bet.

Bodemeister, trained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert, was second. Dullahan was a neck back in third.

Trainer Doug O'Neill didn't waste any time vowing that I'll Have Another will go on to the Preakness in two weeks.

''Maryland, here we come, baby!'' he said.

I'll Have Another made his way to the starting gate accompanied by his stable pony, Lava Man, another cheap purchase turned into a career winner of more than $5 million by O'Neill. The trainer has made his name predominantly in Southern California, although he has won three Breeders' Cup races.

One of his best horses, Steviewonderboy, was the winter favorite for the 2006 Derby before being sidelined by injuries early that year.

A hot pace was expected from speedster Trinniberg, although, surprisingly, it was Bodemeister under jockey Mike Smith who blazed to the front and forced Trinniberg to take a backseat. In the late afternoon heat — mid 80s — Bodemeister set impossibly fast fractions. He ran the opening quarter-mile in 22.32 seconds and the half-mile in 45.39.

Meanwhile, I'll Have Another was comfortably galloping along behind the blazing speed. Gutierrez, born in Mexico and riding his first Derby at 25, angled his colt clear on the final turn and took dead-aim at Bodemeister, who was clearly in front at the top of the stretch.

Went the Day Well finished fourth, followed by Creative Cause, Liaison, 5-1 favorite Union Rags, Rousing Sermon, Hansen, Daddy Nose Best and Optimizer.

Alpha was 12th, followed by El Padrino, Done Talking, Sabercat, Gemologist, Trinniberg, Prospective, Take Charge Indy and last-place Daddy Long Legs.

Sa bukur qendron mbi kale #6!
wow!

[EXODUS]

Per mua -Kuajt- kane nje domethenie te vecante. Shfrytezimi maksimal i tyre ne "arenat gariste" per qellime perfituese monetare sesa "spektakli" qe mendohet se do te dhurojne, eshte nje tjeter tregues i shpirtvogelsise se njeriut.

E drejte kjo qe thua, por njeriu shpeshhere tregohet i pameshirshem (edhe ndaj vetes),kur vjen puna tek paraja.
S'di a te kujtohet ( mbase ti s'kishe lindur atehere) Ben Johnson, qe ne nje gare ( nga e cila u skualifikua) shume vite me pare, ia morri edhe kuajve n'kthese. Shihe videon per kuriozitet.

[EXODUS]

U yfsha bixinesin!

CNN, jepte sot menyren se si jetojne stable workers(imigrante te Amerikes Qendrore) atje. Shume bukur! Kentucky Derby behind the scenes.

lol

Johnson, doping legend!

lol

Fundja, objekte argetimi per klasen e pasur jane ata, c'prisje ti.

Per cfare dopingu flet? Ti kur shkon ne pune mjes, nuk funksionon dot pa nje sapllake plot me kafe ( qe fundja tere diten ul do rrish), jo me ai qe do vrapoje si pantere ato 100 metra. Come on!
Nejse, une vete s'i perkas asnjeres prej ketyre klasave.



Mos u shaj biznesin Exodus, por enjoy videon.
Shih,se si ia kaloi ne fund te gares favoritit tim "Bodemeister", ky tjetri "Ill have another".

[Smth_Poetic]

Johnson mbahet se doping legend.
Vetem caraxoni te paska dit kete gje.
Rekordi i tij i famshem ne 100 metershin seshte marre kurre parasysh, sepse ai ishte nje cheat.

Sa per keto garat e kuajve.
Sport per posh people. Never liked and never will .

Johnson mbahet se doping legend.
Vetem caraxoni s'e paska dit kete gje.
Rekordi i tij i famshem ne 100 metershin seshte marre kurre parasysh, sepse ai ishte nje cheat.

Smth_poetic, pse mi hurt fillingsat duke ma shtremberuar nickun, per qellime armiqesore?

E ke te cituar aty me siper , ku kam thene qe Ben Johnsoni u s'kualifikua nga gara. Por edhe pse cheat-i , perseri eshte my fav.
Ohh...meqenese ra fjala tek cheating..Pse doli Juvja ne kategorine e dyte 4-5 vite me pare, se s'me kujtohet mire? :P
Kur merrem edhe une me katunare si puna juaj, qe vene ne dyshim njohurite e mija, s'keni faj.

[Smth_Poetic]

Juvja nuk cheat-i.
Doli e pafajshme per sporting fraud.
Everybody knows that.
Ishte moggi qe u shpall fajtor .

Pastaj ska sesi nje cheat te jete favorite.
Johnson filloi te merrte doping mbasi dilte i treti apo i katerti ne cdo gare.
Lewis e linte mbrapa ate para se te merrte doping.
Nejse se edhe lewis cheat ishte .

Se pari, kjo analogjia qe na prure ti ishte pa asnje lidhje.


Se fundmi, ata kuaj garues me "nje fije-shpirti" tek finishi jo vetem qe nuk me zbavisin, ma neverisin spektatoret trudhjams!(po te pasur ama! lol)

[MI CORAZON]

Po ç'analogji o Exodus. Unë bëj shaka , ju vazhdoni akoma.
Ok pra, shihni këto sportet e lehta që janë pa qeder, meqenëse të dy qenkeni shumë sensitivë.

[EXODUS]

Corazon-ka,

une per 'te forte' se mbaj veten, por as per jaran forumesh!

The most magnificent horse race in the world and it's right here in the South. I can't help but think of the world of contrast between the harsh hills of Harlan Country and the stately bluegrass of Lexington.

Gara më madhështore kalë në botë dhe kjo është e drejtë këtu në Jug. Unë nuk mund të ndihmojnë por mendoj se e botës së dallim mes kodrave të ashpra të vendit Harlan dhe Bluegrass madhështor të Lexington.


The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
Tis summer, the darkies are gay
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in bloom
While the birds make music all the day
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright
By 'n by hard times come a-knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home good night

Weep no more, my lady
Oh, weep no more, today
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home far away.
