Any Given Saturday

[TexasTerror]

Two weeks til the Derby...

Time to start really following our main horse, Any Given Saturday...

AGS is going to really be a contender and has put together a strong season heading into the Triple Crown season.

Placed in the top three in his last six races -- including wins at the Sam F Davis, Allowance at Keeneland and the Maiden at Turfway.

All those donations to AGS actually went to AGS...and Ralph wants to bet a huge mound of dough on AGS winning the triple crown..xnodx xlolx By the way, anygivensaturday.com will be down a few weeks if he loses..xeyebrowx xwhistlex

If AGS wins the triple crown, the url to this site will be worth a pretty penny, I think. :)

His dam(mother) is named Weekend in Indy and his great dam (grandmother) was named Weekend Surprise. Might have something to do with it.xcoffeex

I'm rooting for Hard Spun since his home is Delaware Park. Same with Chelokee if he gets in. xnodx

[appfan2008]

would love to see ags win but the commentary drives me nuts... they tell you to start watching at a certain time and then the race doesnt start for hours sort of like the super bowl

[Ivytalk]

If they all run, that's a huge field.

[bluehenbillk]

Hard Spun!! 4 years in a row for the Greater Delaware/Philadelphia area:

Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, Barbaro,.....

What time is: "and they're off" actually said?

This race horse is becoming a lot of peoples pick to win the Derby this weekend.

He's half brother to 2003 Derby and Preakness winner Funny Cide.

His Sire is Distorted Humor who has been producing some very good runners.

Lets make sure we're all rooting for AGS saturday ;)

Funny Cide was a gelding. Does that make them half-sisters as well?xconfusedx

:p :p

[appfan2008]

we will all be rooting for ags

[UNHWildCats]

whatever lol

[UNHWildCats]

He/she/its also a decendent of Seattle Slew and Secretariat and Mr. Prosector which also means he's related to Smarty Jones

[89Hen]

HA! We are the first three hits on Google for Any Given Saturday, the horse is #4...

I might visit my local racino and plunk down $50 on AGS to win!xnodx

[UNHWildCats]

its time we had a triple crown winner and no better horse then AGS to do it :D

[letsgopards04]

There is a horse in the derby called Any Given Saturday. I wonder if the owner likes FCS football.

[Tod]

This has already been discussed, a couple of times I think. That's why you got no responses. :) :) :)

[UNHWildCats]

AGS has some good pedigree as I have said in a different thread.

Decendent of Seattle Slew and Secratariat, a half sibling of Funny Cide and the eqivilent of a cousin to everyone favorite Smarty Jones.

Im expecting big things from Any Given Saturday this spring.

[letsgopards04]

I saw it had previously discussed after I posted. I'll have to check more thoroughly.

[kardplayer]

AGS drew the 18th post in the Derby - not very good...

[Ivytalk]

When I checked this morning, AGS (the horse) is rated at 12-1, about sixth in the huge field. His star dimmed a bit after a disappointing third-place finish (in a field of only six) at the Wood Memorial last month. Repoters said he tired in the stretch and took the turns too wide. Those odds are intriguing, however!xcoolx

[bluehenbillk]

Hard Spun, the pride of Newark, DE, looking to make it 4 years in a row for the Greater Philly area.

[HiHiYikas]

Suppose this horse wins the triple crown...

How many hits does that publicity generate for AGS? Right now, 3 of the 5 top google hits for "any given saturday" are FCS related, one is BCS related, and the other is a list of Derby contenders.

[LBPop]

Did I miss the thread, or has it not been noted that the horse who drew the #18 position in Saturday's Kentucky Derby is named:



Any Given Saturday

If I could find an OTB location, I would be all over that horse. The morning line is 12-1. I hope he's good enough to move on to the Preakness. I will be there with LBKid and I can guarantee a nice wager on AGS! xnodx xnodx xhurrayx

[Bulldog87]

I don't kmow if this is old news here but this morning I saw that a horse named Any Given Saturday is running in the Derby on Saturday. For those that wqager I believe his odds are 12-1. Good Luck.xbeerchugx

[Cobblestone]

We're all rooting for that horse.

[UNHWildCats]

this news is older then man itself.

[Cobblestone]

Bill Parcells once owned a race horse named Sundays at One.

[WUTNDITWAA]

There is a horse named Any Given Saturday running in The Derby this weekend.





And Appalachian State has a video on YouTube called HOT HOT HOT.

In today's Kentucky Derby there is a horse called Any Given Saturday. I'll be pulling for him!!

Are you putting any money on AGS?

We will be rooting for AGS this afternoon at my place. My youngest daughter is a horse fan and she has already taken to him. She was also a fan of Funny Cide and Smarty Jones.

Some people thought that AGS just had a bad race at the Wood (we watched it a few weeks back). He had some trouble out of the gate and then got caught in a bad position during the race before being forced to take things wide. May have been just a bad race from his jockey. Anyway, we expect better things today.

It is amazing how oblivious certain folks are to some popular topics around here.

[Henwatcher]

AGS by a nose.

[goasu984Life]

Any Given Saturday is a 12-1 shot, as of 4:42 p.m. We're all pulling for that horse, aren't we?

[UNHWildCats]

How many threads do we need about this horse

[goasu984Life]

I will be pulling for AGS, but I also have to pull for Stormello. I have that horse in a Derby pool.

[SunCoastBlueHen]

This race will finish AGS and Hard Spun 1-2. Why? Because I wanted to be the exacta and I didn't. xnonono2x

[Mr. C]

Good start for AGS to get in the thick of things from the outside early

[SunCoastBlueHen]

At least the Delaware horse ran well, finishing second.

[Mr. C]

Street Sense, in just his third race, wins the Derby at 2:02.17 ahead of Hard Spun.

AGS fell from third to fifth in the final stages. Perhaps with a better starting position, AGS will do better in the Preakness.

[bjtheflamesfan]

Edit; Sorry, I didn't see that someone else had posted already about the results. (I was at dinner while the race was going on)

[goasu984Life]

The wife had Street Sense in the pool, so we won anyway. Yeah for us. $20! Yeah, $20!

[kardplayer]

I had my $$$ on AGS, and had earmarked a generous donation with the winnings...

This was Street Sense's eigth lifetime race. He is the first horse in thoroughbred history to win the Kentucky Derby after winning the Breeder's Cup Juvenile as a two-year old.
I had the exacta boxed. The horse I liked, Hard Spun, with the favorite.
Not a bad price, $101.50!! Cool.:D

[Mr. C]

They said third race in the post-race stuff. Typical of TV folks getting their facts wrong.

[UNHWildCats]

it was his 3rd race as a 3 yr old i believe

I thought AGS wound up 8th.xconfusedx

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

I had my money on AGS as well. Ten whole dollars..to win!
It would have been a nice ticket to cash.

I had the winnings earmarked for beer though.xsmiley_wix

[Ivytalk]

Is AGS going to run in the Preakness? I see his trainer is now something like 0-19 lifetime in Triple Crown races.xsmhx
