Kentucky Derby Riddle

[MarciKS]

I really don't know for sure, marci: I too was guessing at the spelling!

no i checked...you're right

 

[Kaila]

I liked your spelling of it, anyway!

And it's more important that you would share the trophy!!!

 

[MarciKS]

*sneaks back over and hits edit*

 

[MarciKS]

shhhhhhhhh....maybe she won't notice

 

[Kaila]

Stay away from that edit button!

@Aunt Marg
The horses didn't have reincoats or reinboots?

 

[Kaila]

(Not sure if I should share the trophy if that answer is correct. )

 

[Aunt Marg]

Lots of funny guesses, but better fetch your saddles, as the race is starting soon!

 

[MarciKS]

wth? no running no rider no reins....all that's left is hats and glue

 

[jujube]

The announcer caught a cold and was a little horse?

 

[jujube]

they were a Jockey short?

 

[jujube]

The horses couldn't stay on track?

 

[Aunt Marg]

More great and fun guesses, but none of you are on track yet.

 

[MarciKS]

Because of the Kentucky Fried Chicken parade?

 

[Kaila]

This one you chose for us, Aunt Marg,
is obviously too difficult for us and beyond our abilities

 

[MarciKS]

i know nothing about derby's and horses.


it was cancelled because of their unbridled desire to run for the roses.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Great tries everybody, but still no wins!

I'll let this one dangle until after suppertime, and then I'll post the solve.

 

[Kaila]

Same here..... I know nothing on this topic!

But it's another great guess by marci!

Why should we let complete lack of knowledge stop us?

 

[MarciKS]

because someone glued the gate shut? oh look! i'm grasping again.

 

[MarciKS]

Same here..... I know nothing on this topic!

But it's another great guess by marci!

Why should we let complete lack of knowledge stop us?

hey every once in a while my ignorant side gets lucky LOL!

 

[Kaila]

Plus we are both, and all, so extremely highly motivated for wanting the TROPHY!

The meaningless trophy!

 

[Kaila]

That could be it!
One of the jockeys wanted the Derby Trophy so badly,
that they hid it in their saddle, (or in their derby?)
so the race had to be cancelled!

 

[ohioboy]

They did not have enough "common wealth" to pay the winner.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Crafty guess, Ohio, but no victory.

1 hour and 9 minutes to countdown.

<----- Trots in with a beautiful trophy for the winner(s). I polished it too.
