That's crass. I don't do crass, but on rare occasion.

I honestly didn't mean it to be...that's the funny thing.

Anyone every heard the standard, "Cry Me A River"? It's a beautiful song and tonight, it's either that or the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

The two huge ones are exceedingly rare gifts. Dig deep chasing more like those and see how long you stay afloat. Folks do it daily.

I hold a strong belief, and I have been chastised for doing so, repeatedly. I'll not change my mind on this still. --If one is interested in chasing longshots, the day to go after them is on Sunday. I'm a fervent believer in this.

I'm glad your shots ran well today Randall. I'll just lie here in wait.

Rest well.

I used to sing it every time I performed...a classic.

Pais, you could accommodate me right now.

I love the Classics, so many of them. Speaking of which, I can't believe no one has figured my song lyrics in name that tune, though this doesn't go quite that far back, its probably been covered as much as any song ever.

The Empire Continues to Strike Back

Now, you have to know there ain't a snowball's chance in hell that you would've picked a longshot to win anything remotely close to those odds and paying $310. And in all liklihood, if you've been 'capping as long as you say you have, you wouldn't have had either one of those high price place prices of yesterday either. I've never seen happen--what happened at GP today, which means, it don't come around to often, sweetheart.

INSTANCES, son INSTANCES as you call them.

Now, if you wanna talk to me about the Javier Negrete horse in the 2nd race that went off at 133/1, we'll chat. (The very trainer that I spoke of last night in another thread, the one I've been watching.) His horse ran third paying $37.80 for the show, after leading all the way to the top of the stretch, where he gave way and crossed the wire 4 lengths back to the 1st and 2nd horse.

And by the way that shot only got that chalk by a jump.

Maybe Andy had a tri with All/10/All or All/10/8 I sure hope so, after all the crap he caught in the last 24 hours. Man, no one needs such stuff.

If we have another day on Wednesday like the last couple, I'll cut both wrists, lay down and bleed out. And please . . . see that I'm buried in the Bahamas, next plot over from Anna Nicole. I'll welcome the overflow, maybe a few flowers'll blow my way.

HERE LIES GRITS.

What is the latest tally with these two strategies...???

Above in the blue letters, and I've no idea what going down at GP this afternoon. I probably should not look until the day's card is over.

not looking too good for you today at GP so far. Its been longshot central over there lately. craziness... I dont remember seeing tracks like this in forever.

there was a nice exacta at aqueduct though today.. might make up a little (but I think GP place prices are still more for the day)

do you at least find it interesting that you hit 5 more bets than her today and she still won more money?

Randall, I think the 6th at Santa Anita is incorrect. The odds on the exacta were $3.10 on the fav. and $9.90 on the second place finisher.

Rules are rules, that's a tick short of a 10/1, that tick being 10 cents.

So, don't you think that $70+ needs to be removed? I do. No gimmees.

Or maybe I'm incorrect, so please check.

still 10-1 on the board... but u are right... randall - that means u kicked her ass again today!

Nah, the horse would have been 9-1 on the board still.

A 10-1 horse on the board would never pay less than $22.00 even. This horse would have paid $21.80 and would have showed as 9-1 on the board.

oh and they dont call you a child prodigy for nothing! :D

just think of it this way, the board will never click until the horse reaches at LEAST the number posted.

in NY, where they have twentieths of odds in their system, a horse that is $2.50-1 will show as 5-2 on the board. A horse that is $2.80-1 will still show as 5-2 as will a horse that is $2.95-1. Until the horse actually HITS 3-1, the horse won't be listed as such.

Imagine betting a horse at 3-1 on the board and only getting back $7.60. You'd be pissed :)

I did go to school as a math major ya know :D I just later became a bleeding heart liberal and felt I needed to read more immigrant literature!

actually i'd be thrilled that i actually got money back!!!!! :D
