Hope you placed a wager on this

Nah.  I don't bet on anything.  I just saw the name "Mystik Dan" in the start list, so I decided to root for that horse.  It was probably the only time I ever got excited about a horse race. (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/grin.gif)

It turns out that there is some doubt about the win.  Although I do not know what is going on, I saw one of those bottom bars commenting on the win.

Congratulations Gaslight Dan, even a horse, bearing your name, is apparently doing unsavory things.  Fitting. (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)

You're a liar, John Walsh.  I'm taking CREDIT for nothing.

Admit I thought of aesops Dan on this win.

Blessed to still have 88 yr old retired jockey Dad,
who said
Don't Bet.
I listened. Older brother, no.

Believe aesop Jim's step dad was also a retired jockey.

If the horse's name had Dog in it, Kristi Noem would SHOOT it!

He was my pick from the start...why?  Heck, I wouldn't know how to bet on a pony if it was 'splained in pictures...but he was in position #3, which is my favorite number, so I picked him.  I didn't even know the odds...but 18:1, that's pretty darn good for banking some coin, right?  And I read up on him and he was foaled March 4, 2021.  March is the 3rd month, 4 2021 adds up to 9, which is 3 squared...pretty interesting, right?  LOL  I know...only weird people like me look at things that way.

Hey, mine too!  I like the number three because of its mathematical properties.  Three points define a plane.  Take any number, sum up the digits; if the sum of the digits are divisible by three than so is the number itself.


2847 is divisible by three because 2+8+4+7=21.  21 is divisible by three.  2+1=3.

Babe Ruth’s jersey number was “3.”


So it was easy for me to root for Mystik Dan. (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)

I don't believe so Tru.  I am certain that the 3 horses that she put down (shot) did not have the name dog in it.  Although one might have had Billie in their name.

Sounds like Kristi eats dog, horse AND goat meat, regularly!

THAT seems LOTS worse than Obama eating some dog one time.

Where do you get that from?  Obama is the only one who said he ate dog.
