Democrat Horse Race

The running of the 134th Kentucky Derby took place yesterday. What I found most interesting were the side bets. Hillary Clinton picked the only filly in the race, Eight Belles, to win.

Tragically, Eight Belles, after finishing second, broke both ankles and had to be euthanized.

Barack Obama picked Colonel John to win, Pyro to place, and Big Brown to show. Of course, Big Brown won while his other picks finished 6th and 8th.

Some consultants in the Hillary camp are expected to blame Bush and sexist American society, while Barack is expected to disavow his relationship to Colonel John and Pyro.

Gamblers Palace has no live lines on the Democrat primary.
