AMAZING!! I'm so excited he won; how cool is that?! So what're you gonna do with the cash? Head out for a nice dinner in WDW?

Had so many great meals at WDW last week, I need to push myself away from the dinner table for a while. Money will certainly come in handy for my upcoming golf trip, and of course some interest money on Animal Kingdom to win the Preakness in two weeks as well.

I wonder how we'd do just betting on the most Disney-related horse in every race.

Skunk, do you ever golf while you're in Disney World?

I wish I'd had the opportunity, I would have totally placed that bet based on name alone. That's how I gamble crossfingers

Not so far. Wife doesn't play, and only twice have I been there with someone that does, so never bring my clubs along. Would you say the Disney courses are a good value?

I picked it for the name too. My "intelligent Derby picks" seldom pan out, so why not. As I was walking past the American Pavilion this past Thursday, the music playing was......."My Old Kentucky Home".........figured that was a good sign!!

My husband is in the horse racing industry and I was so MAD at him for not betting on this horse just because of my crazy Disney obsession alone!! I knew I should have reminded him to bet on it for me!!! Disney magic and some extra WDW world moola?? That would have been nice.

There's probably a law that if you bet on a horse because it's named after a Disney location that you have to spend the money going there.
