They’re dancing in the streets of Caracas as Mage wins the Kentucky Derby for Venezuelan connections. Especially happy for @jjcjockey

Watching it again, Javier Castellano @jjcjockey gave Mage an absolutely perfect ride. Didn’t panic after the poor start, saved ground as long as needed, and then made sure he got into the clear just as the speed started to come back.

Random dude who texted the Text Machine and said Continuaar would scratch texted again and said “Bet Mage”

So I picked my horse based on the name's proximity to a #dnd character class. It worked out. Congrats to Mage! #KentuckyDerby2023 #dnd5e #kyedrpg pic.twitter.com/XxNmUVL6TW

Rooting for a horse named Mage for nerd reasons and experiencing a thrilling moment of excitement is all I could’ve hoped for out of the Kentucky Derby

I made several “informed” Kentucky Derby bets and won nothing.

I asked my six-year-old to pick a winner this morning and she picked Mage. Thankfully I can now walk away with a little money thanks to her! #KyDerby
