Coincidence?

Tweet I was walking out of my office today and something caught my eye. I have my 2006 Derby ticket up on my horse shelf (yeah, I'm a dork) in a plastic casing and for the first time I noticed the horse's number 8 on the ticket. If you remember Barbaro wore 8 and went out and won the Derby. Two weeks later, Bernardini wore 8 to win the Preakness and finally Jazil wore 8 to win the Belmont. Coincidence? I think not.

Keep an eye out for this year's Derby design, you never know!
